Required: WooCommerce Social Login is a premium WooCommerce extension included with Managed WordPress Ecommerce, Managed WooCommerce Stores or as a standalone purchase.

  1. Sign in to developers.facebook.com.
  2. Go to My Apps and click on the Create App button (Add a New App button if you've already created one).
  3. Select the Consumer option since this app will be used to integrate Facebook Login on your website.
  4. Add an app name and App contact email.
    Note: Connecting your Business Account is optional, so you may skip that part if you prefer.
  5. Click on Create app.
