It adds a sign-up form allowing your users to log in and register with one click on your website or mobile app using their account on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google, LinkedIn, OpenID, AOL, PayPal, Live, Foursquare, Vkontakte, Mail.Ru, Yandex, and Odnoklassniki.

Presets

Make sure the default Social login add-on is set to Active in your store. Otherwise the Social Auth add-on will not work correctly.

To let your customers sign up with Google, Facebook, Yahoo, or other networks, you need to create corresponding social network providers in your store under Website → Social login.

To learn how to do this, please refer to this page in the CS-Cart Docs.

Installing the add-on

Install the Social Auth add-on on the add-ons list page (Add-ons → Manage add-ons). Click the + button in the top right corner, select an archive and click Upload & install. You can now find the installed add-on in the list of installed add-ons, just make sure it is set to Active.

That’s it! Now your customers can sign up to your store just in one click!
