Hi everyone. I have a question related to Shopify and Discourse We’re developing a new shopify website for our products and we want to incorporate a forum to provide support for customers as well as a discussion platform. Our product manager is concerned that although there is oAuth2 connections between Discourse and Shopify, it seems that if a user creates an account on the discourse end, that it doesn’t allow them user to purchase items on shopify seamlessly, meaning they’ll have to re-register when prompted.
Does anyone have any direct experience in this? I’m not a developer - more on the marketing side, but it’s frustrating as our developers say it isn’t possible, but guides online say it is. Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks for your reply. How about this situation then;
A user visits the website - they’re not registered. They check out the forum, and want to ask a question - so they register there. After that, they come back to the website a few days later to buy a product. Would that original registration with OAuth2, connect with Shopify, meaning they could then purchase products without making a new account?
@david I think Shopify doesn’t allow customer logins via oAuth I’ve spent quite some time figuring this out and made up that their oAuth only allows shop owners to log into 3rd party applications. I can be wrong but would really appreciate if you could point me to right documentation (if you’re aware of any) that guides the process to allow oAuth for customers.
