About The Project

Many online shoppers abandon their carts when they encounter a slow or complicated sign-up process. People want quick, simple ways to log in, especially at checkout. If they have to fill out too many forms or remember new passwords, they often leave without buying anything. This makes it hard for businesses to turn visitors into customers.

To solve this, we created the “Social Login” plugin. It lets users log in with a single click using their favorite social networks, such as Facebook, Google, or Apple, or even via email. We made sure it works with many popular platforms and keeps all accounts safe and secure. This plugin makes the checkout process smoother, helping shops keep more customers and boost sales.

Key Project Deliverables

We delivered solutions to make social login quick, safe, and simple for both users and site owners.

Standalone Plugin

Created a plugin that works smoothly with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress, or PeepSo, so it’s easy to set up and use on any site.

Social Media Integration

Added simple login options with top social networks like Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more, so users can sign in fast.

Login with Email

Built a secure email login system that sends a verification email, making sure every account is safe and easy to access.

Shortcode Support

Developed a shortcode that lets site owners put the social login button anywhere on their site, for both classic and Gutenberg editors.

Custom Redirection

Set up a feature that sends users logging in with social media to any page chosen by the admin, making navigation smoother.

Signup Report

Created a signup report page so admins can easily see which social platforms users are using to sign up, giving clear and valuable insights.

Major Project Challenges

Keeping up with frequent changes on social platforms was a big challenge. We had to make sure the plugin always worked well, even as updates rolled out. We needed to allow users to link their social accounts on both the ‘My account’ and ‘Order received’ pages so that future checkouts would be quick and easy.

It was important to connect each social login to a WordPress user account so people could still get into their profile even if they later unlinked a social account. We also had to set up custom redirect options to ensure every user landed on the right page after logging in with social media.

For email logins, we wanted extra security. This meant building a two-step process in which users would receive a verification link to keep their accounts safe. We worked hard to avoid issues with cached redirects after social logins, ensuring everyone always landed on the right page.

Making the plugin work well with WordPress alone, without needing WooCommerce, was also essential to giving site owners more options. Also, we wanted to pull in profile and cover photos from social accounts so users could set up their WordPress profiles with just a click.

Solutions & Impact

Our team worked hard to keep the plugin reliable and always up to date. We closely monitored social media platforms and quickly implemented any needed improvements. We built custom logic to allow users to link additional social accounts to their main account easily. This made future logins smoother and gave users more control.

Whenever someone logged in with a social account, we made sure a WordPress user was created. This way, even if users unlinked a social account later, their site access stayed safe. We added a simple setting where admins can choose the page users land on after logging in. This helped make the user journey smooth and personal.

For extra safety, we set up a step where users get a verification link or OTP when logging in with email. This helped protect every account. We built a custom cache setting, so admins could turn it on if their site used caching plugins, dodging any issues with old redirects.

We also made it easy to fetch profile and cover photos from social networks, so users could set up their WordPress profile in seconds. All these updates made logging in quick, safe, and user-friendly for everyone.
