Discourse has intergration with many social login methods already, and it’s very nice.
Can it intergrates with e-commerce platforms like Shopify so users of an existing e-commerce community can login via the same account everywhere for that company?
Example: http://forums.envato.com uses the same login everywhere throughout their site.
Shopify supports oauth2 GitHub - Shopify/omniauth-shopify-oauth2: Shopify OAuth2 Strategy for OmniAuth 1.0 · GitHub it is possible you could simply use our existing oauth2 plugin for it. Otherwise someone could build a plugin for it.
Edit by @david, Oct 2020: Shopify oauth2 is for shop owners only, not end-users.
Thanks, where can I find existing oauth2 plugin for Discourse? I’m new and recently just bought Discourse standard plan.
And does oauth2 plugin for discourse supported on Hosted Discourse version, standard plan?
I guess this one Discourse OAuth2 Basic
For our hosting, OAuth 2 is only supported on the business plan and higher.
Ah I see. I’d love to upgrade to it if I know for sure it works with Shopify user accounts. Can you let me know please? i’m not familiar with OAuth2 documentation.
How could i integrate my email service with discourse. Currently i have created a shopify store for dropshipping purpose and i write those steps as a article. So i need to know about email integration which i will also add in article. i will also share article that i have written. After 6 days no one response me you can see withintheflow.com where my friend write too many education content for drop-shipping and their platform so if you are willing then please let me know.
I’m not aware of any existing plugins that have the functionality you are looking for, but Discourse has several options for interfacing with other apps like MailChimp, ConvertKit, or Shopify. You could use webhooks, the api, and/or the data explorer to gather the email addresses you are looking for and send them to your email service. Also a custom plugin could also be created.
Hey guys, I was wondering if there were any articles showing how to add discourse to my Shopify store. (forum.mystore.com)
Any pointers would be awesome!
There really isn’t a concept of “adding” Discourse to an existing site. You create a Discourse site, and then link to it from your existing site.
Here’s a rough overview of what that process would look like:
You’d set up a Discourse site in its own environment (hosted with us or self-hosted with Digital Ocean or any other compatible hosting service).
You’d then setup the DNS with your domain registrar so your forum can be accessed at forum.mystore.com
You can optionally install and configure an OAuth2 plugin so that your customers can log in to Discourse with their Shopify account.
Then it’s a matter of including a link to your forum from your store and including a link to your store from the forum — you can also optionally theme your Discourse site to match the design of your Shopify store too.
Awesome, thank you so much Kris! Very helpful
Hi @electricjared,
If you want to sell products in your Shopify store that can then be accessed in your Discourse site in private Categories, you could talk to @joebuhlig about building a technical integration between the two.
Ciao a tutti, sto cercando di far funzionare l’autenticazione OAuth tra Shopify e Discourse e mi chiedevo se qualcuno ci sia riuscito. Stiamo avendo molti problemi, poiché sembra che Shopify non supporti effettivamente OAuth per gli account clienti.
Potresti dover usare un webhook intermedio che riceve le informazioni da Shopify e poi esegue chiamate API a Discourse.
Ma un semplice plugin che riceve una chiamata da Shopify potrebbe essere più semplice.
Siamo abbastanza sicuri che il webhook non esista (con le informazioni su cliente/utente). Stiamo cercando di evitare un plugin completamente personalizzato (siamo in fase di avvio). 
Se non desideri un plugin, hai bisogno di qualcosa come Zapier come intermediario.
Se Shopify non può chiamare un webhook quando un utente viene creato e/o aggiunto a un abbonamento (il che sembra improbabile), allora non c’è nulla che tu possa fare.
Sei riuscito a far funzionare le credenziali di accesso per Shopify e Discourse in entrambe le impostazioni?
Per nulla. Il sistema di autenticazione di Shopify, per quanto abbiamo potuto capire, non lo consente.
Non abbiamo provato Zapier, principalmente perché speriamo in una vera soluzione di autenticazione. Molto delusi, soprattutto da Shopify.
Ah, che peccato! Stavo cercando la stessa cosa! Se c’è qualcuno disposto a creare un plugin per far funzionare questa cosa, forse in due o tre potremmo raccogliere i fondi per farlo realizzare?
c’è qualche aggiornamento in merito all’SSO tra Discourse e Shopify?
