According to online consumer research, almost 77 percent of users prefer social login when utilizing e-commerce & online sites. Allowing users to check in with their social media accounts increases conversion rates, sales, and user engagement.

Customers prefer to use social login instead of filling out a new registration form for each site they visit for two reasons.

1) Security: Social Login prevents individuals from handing out their username and password to websites that may not be secure. The largest social networks have the means and manpower to safeguard their networks, and have spent hundreds of millions of dollars doing so over the years.

2) Convenience: For end users, having to create a new login and password for yet another site, is a pain point and a source of friction. Today, a large number of consumers and end users are suffering from registration fatigue. because new registrations are time consuming and Users don’t want to deal with the hassle and are unwilling to remember another set of login credentials.

Business and Site owners, lose a tremendous amount of potential customers and conversions when they don’t offer a Social log in option on their sites.

All the WordPress Social Logins plugins mentioned in this article offer WooCommerce compatibility, however the WooCommerce Social Login feature is not an Island by itself. Let me explain:

In WordPress certain plugins when used with others, results in a conflict that will break your site.

Site owners need to be aware that 1) Social Login, 2) Customize My Account & 3) User Registration plugins, if, and when each functionality is implemented by a different plugin vendor and used together, will create a conflict and break your site.

However, there is no need for concern. The plugins we will discuss in this article, provide users with all 3 functionalities. This is achieved because they are offered by the same vendors, and through the use of add-ons or additional plugins, and are engineered to work together.
