It looks like BigCommerce offers single sign on for customer accounts[0], which Shopify charges an outrageous $2K/month to turn on with their Plus plan. Does anyone know what tier of BC supports SSO?

- chrisboulton 9y agoThat particular feature (or, API endpoint) isn't something that's restricted by plan or tier on BigCommerce. It does work slightly differently in terms of functionality to what Shopify call Multipass, which is probably worth calling out. Ultimately you can accomplish the same functionality (on the fly account creation, address management, and SSO based login) with a few calls to the customer API endpoint. We talk more about the API endpoint here: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/v2/#customer-login-api https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/v2/#customer-login-api [Disclosure: I work on various infrastructure related things at BigCommerce]
- yodon 9y agoThanks! Any chance you know of a sample static React frontend example for BigCommerce? It looks like it should be possible to use the API to bypass the BigCommerce templating and just make a conventional static React site with BigCommerce API backinng it. I’ve done this for Shopify sites (painful but mostly possible) and am thinking about porting the sites to BigCommerce because I don’t want to pay Shopify $2K/mo/store just to get SSO. It’s not a huge deal for me if there’s no boilerplate on how to do this, unless you think there’s some core thing that I couldn’t in principle pull off over the API.
