WooCommerce Social Login v2.8.5 – WordPress plugin
Simplify customer access using social accounts
This plugin allows shoppers to log in and check out using popular social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, PayPal, LinkedIn, GitHub, and others. It also supports login via WordPress.com, Yahoo, VK.com, LINE, Windows Live, and even email. This helps eliminate the need for creating yet another password and encourages faster, more convenient purchases.
Faster login improves conversions
Lengthy registration steps can slow down checkout and frustrate buyers. By letting users log in with their preferred social media accounts, you reduce friction at a critical point in the buying process. This not only saves customers time but also boosts the likelihood of completing purchases—especially for returning visitors.
Easily connect social profiles to user accounts
When someone signs up using a social profile, that account is automatically linked to their customer account. Existing users can also connect their accounts to social platforms later from the “My Account” section.
View insights on login behavior
The admin area provides a drag-and-drop interface to rearrange the order of social login buttons. You can also access stats showing how many users have registered through each platform, along with a pie chart showing percentages for easy analysis.
Give customers full control of their connections
Users can manage which social accounts are connected to their profile anytime through their account dashboard. They’re also free to disconnect any social profile if they prefer to use a standard login method.
Create a smoother overall shopping flow
Using social login options means returning customers can log in with a single click, skipping forgotten password issues. This makes the shopping process faster and more secure, while giving store owners better conversion rates and happier users.
Compatible with popular plugins
The plugin works seamlessly with tools like WooCommerce Product Reviews Pro, PeepSo, bbPress, BuddyPress, WP Rocket, and Better WordPress Minify.
Works with leading WordPress themes
It’s also compatible with well-known themes like WorkScout – a Job Board WordPress Theme, among others.
Clarifying common questions
Can it function without WooCommerce?
Yes, it can work on its own and doesn’t require WooCommerce. It integrates well with platforms like BuddyPress, bbPress, and PeepSo.
Why am I prompted for an email when logging in with Twitter?
Twitter doesn’t provide an email address by default. So, the plugin asks users to enter it the first time to complete the account setup.
Is a secure (HTTPS) site needed for Facebook login?
If you’re using Facebook App version 2.12 or later, your site must be served over HTTPS.
Why aren’t my social login buttons showing?
If you’re already logged in, they won’t appear. Try visiting the site in an incognito window or a different browser.
Can users still access their account if they remove a social connection?
Yes, every social login still creates a WordPress user account using their email or handle. They can request a new password anytime to log in through traditional methods.
Do social platforms gain access to user data from my store?
No, social platforms only receive basic login data—no order history or activity is shared. The information exchanged is minimal and focused solely on authentication.
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
User accounts remain intact. Since each social login creates a regular WordPress user account, users can log in using the “forgot password” feature if needed.
What if login buttons still don’t show up?
It may be due to your theme overriding WooCommerce templates and missing necessary action hooks. You can use the [woo_social_login]
shortcode to manually place login buttons or ask your theme developer to add WooCommerce-compatible hooks.
Why isn’t it working in the Google app on iPhone?
The plugin works with mobile browsers like Safari and Chrome, but not with the Google app on iPhones, which doesn’t behave like a standard browser.
Is it compatible with Varnish caching?
Yes, tests have shown that the plugin works fine with Varnish, assuming correct configuration.
Does it support Instagram login?
No, Instagram login has been discontinued. The API required for this feature was deprecated in 2019 and fully removed in 2020, so Instagram is no longer available as a login option.
Why isn’t the Facebook cover photo being set in PeepSo profiles?
Due to recent changes in Facebook’s Graph API (version 3.0), the cover photo field is no longer part of the public profile data, and this feature is no longer supported.
