Facebook Login Setup

You can setup Facebook social login on your websites. This will enable your users sign in with their Social login accounts without having to remembers email addresses and passwords.

Create and set up a Facebook App

  1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/.

  2. Create an account (you may have to register as a developer).

  3. Make sure you are logged in.

  4. Click on the "My Apps" dropdown in the top right corner of the header, next to your profile picture.

  5. Click "+ Add a New App". A popup should appear.

  6. Type your app Display Name. For example: "My Great Store".

  7. Enter the contact email of your choice.

  8. Click "Create App ID". You may have to answer a security check.

  9. Don't select a Product or Recommended Product but instead...

  10. ... In the left hand menu, click "Settings" then "Basic".

  11. In "App Domains", add the domain name from which you want the Facebook login to work, i.e. your website domain name. If you are moving between a StoreMantis subdomain and your custom domain, it's best to add both here to ensure that the Facebook login keeps working even when the domain changes. Add the domains without "https" or "www" or "subdomain":
    - For your custom domain, the domain could be: "mygreatstore.com"
    - For your StoreMantis subdomain the domain could be: "mygreatstore.storemantis.com"

  12. Click "Add Platform".

  13. Select Website.

  14. In "Site URL", add your full website's URL with https and possibly www or the subdomain:
    - It could be: "https://www.mygreatstore.com",
    "https://mygreatstore.com", or "https://something.mygreatstore.com".

  15. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom right.

    If you can't save because the "App Domains" part complains about "This must be derived from Secure Canvas URL, Unity Binary URL, Site URL, Mobile Site URL or Secure Page Tab URL. Check and correct the following domains: (missing-domain-here.com)", this is probably because you added two different domains while following the instructions above and only one is based on the current Site URL that you entered. The easiest way to overcome this limitation is to add a Secure Page Tab URL with following steps:
    - Click "Add Platform"
    - Select "Page tab"
    - In "Secure Page Tab URL" add the missing domain (mentioned in the earlier error message) with https, e.g. "https://missing-domain-here.com"
    - Click "Save Changes"

  16. You might also need to add your privacy policy URL (in some cases this is not needed). If so please add it by creating an Information page on StoreMantis (CatalogInformation) and then pasting the full url to that page here. You can get the full url from your main website.

  17. Save changes if needed.

  18. In the left hand menu, click "+ Add Product".

  19. In the list, find "Facebook Login" and click "Set Up" for it.

  20. Select "Web" (www) in the list of options.

  21. Verify that your "Site URL" is correct and click "Save" then "Continue".

  22. In the left hand menu, click "Facebook Login" then "Settings".

  23. Check that the following settings are correct:
    - Client OAuth Login: Yes
    - Web OAuth Login: Yes
    - Force Web OAuth Reauthentication: No
    - Use Strict Mode for Redirect URIs: Yes
    - Enforce HTTPS: No (if set to 'yes' without possibility to edit leave it as 'yes')
    - Embedded Browser OAuth Login: Yes
    - Login from devices: No

  24. In the "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" field add your store address followed by /store/account/social?network=Facebook :
    - It could be: "https://www.mygreatstore.com/store/account/social?network=Facebook" or "https://something.mygreatstore.com/store/account/social?network=Facebook"

  25. Check that the section "Deauthorize / Deauthorize Callback URL" is empty.

  26. Click "Save Changes".

  27. From the top bar, turn the top switch from "OFF" to "ON" to make your app live.

  28. Confirm the choice when asked. You may have to select a category and/or answer a security check. Your app doesn't require an approval from Facebook so you don't have to go through the submission process.

  29. In the left hand menu, click "Dashboard". Your app should be public ("This app is public and available to all users") and a green dot should be displayed.


Your app is now created, configured and live. But this isn't finished yet!
You now have to configure it in your store to use it.
