Magento 2 Google Account Login

Business Value

Opportunity: Customer accounts let shoppers see past orders and reorder faster, and they let you understand who buys from you and recommend the right products.

Problem: Many shoppers find signing up slow and annoying, and they are tired of remembering passwords. If they don't trust your store yet, they register with a throwaway email or don't register at all.

Solution: Let them sign up with the account they already have. Most shoppers have a Google account, so a Google sign-in button removes the form entirely.

How it Works

Enable Google in the settings of Social Login for Magento 2, paste the key and secret of your Google app, and the "Sign in with Google" button appears where you choose: on the login and registration pages (above or below the form), in the sign-in popup and in the sign-in step at checkout. The same extension adds Facebook, PayPal, Amazon, Yahoo, X and LinkedIn if you need them.

Main Advantages

Improve the User Experience

Visitors don't fill in a form or invent another password: two clicks and they are in. This matters most on mobile, where typing and navigation are harder.

Improve the Signup Rate

Signing up through Google is fast, and the account is confirmed right away, so there is no confirmation email to wait for. If you don't allow guest checkout, a one-click sign-up matters even more.

Collect More Relevant Data

The standard sign-up form invites fake names and throwaway emails, especially from people who don't trust your store yet. With Google sign-in, the name and email come from the shopper's Google account, so they are real and up to date. If the email already belongs to a customer, the Google account is linked to that customer instead of creating a duplicate.

Set up Redirects

After signing in, send shoppers back to the page they came from, or to one landing page you choose.
