What this covers

A "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Facebook" button on your storefront's sign-in and registration screens, so a buyer can create an account without inventing another password.

How it works in ELVPro

Platform credentials, per-yard switch

ELVPro registers and maintains the OAuth applications centrally; you decide per provider whether the button appears on your shop. No developer console, no app review, no keys to manage.

The OAuth round trip happens on the platform domain

and hands the signed-in customer back to your storefront — which is what lets one registered application serve every yard, including yards on their own domain.

Accounts still belong to your yard

A customer who signs in with Google on your shop is your customer; the same person on another ELVPro shop is a separate account there.

Matched by email — but only a verified one

If the address already exists as a password account, the social identity is attached to it instead of creating a duplicate. A provider that has not verified the address is refused outright, so nobody can claim an account by signing up elsewhere with someone else's email.

Where each account came from is recorded

password, Google or Facebook — and shown in your customer analytics, so you can see whether the button is actually earning its place.

When it happens

When this runs, and what it does
When What happens
At registration the fastest path from browsing to an account, which is where most abandonment happens.
At every later sign-in no password to remember, no reset email to send.
The moment you switch a provider off the button disappears; existing customers keep their accounts and can set a password.

Why it matters

An account is what turns a one-off buyer into a customer you can reach again — order history, saved vehicles, back-in-stock alerts. Every field between "I want this part" and "I have an account" costs conversions, and a password is the most expensive field on the form.

What we don't claim

Social sign-in requires customer accounts, so it is available from Professional upwards. It needs the platform's Google and Facebook credentials to be configured, and it authenticates buyers on your storefront — not staff in the admin interface, where two-factor authentication applies instead.
