How Social Login works if the social network API doesn't provide the customer email?

Due to security restrictions some of the social login networks doesn't provide the customer email when they login. Below is a list of social networks permissions:


  • Facebook: Depends on the security of the customer account (default allows to share email)
  • Google: Customer email is available
  • Twitter: Customer email is available
  • Linkedin: Customer email is available
  • Outlook: Customer email is available
  • Amazon: Customer email is available
  • Spotify: Customer email is available
  • Yahoo: Customer email is not available
  • Line: Customer email is not available

For the cases in which the customer email is not available, we let him enter it's email address in the login modal. This is needed just once. After that the customer won't need to enter the email again.

What happens if a customer was already registered on my store before I installed Social Login? Can he log in using Social Login?

Yes, but he should enter it's password (just once) in the login modal. The next times the customer logs in he won't need to enter the password again. The login modal prompted to the user will look like the below:

I uninstalled the app but the social login buttons are still showing up. How do I remove them?

The server cache takes some time to update the account status to stop showing the social login buttons. Also the browser's cache might keep showing them. Please wait at least 60 seconds and try opening a new private/incognito tab to check the social login buttons are removed.
If the above don't work you can manually remove the social login snippet from your theme.liquid template.
1 Open your Shopify templates manager (usually at https://yourshop.myshopify.com/admin/themes/) and click on the Edit HTML/CSS button.
2 Search for the theme.liquid template and click on it. Once the file shows on the text editor scroll down to the bottom and find the {% include 'social-login' %} tag. Delete it and click the Save button.
3 Now the social login buttons are removed from your site. In case browser's cache still makes them show up, try opening the page in an incognito window or clear the browser's cache.
