Facebook Connect for ShopSite
Using Facebook Connect for customer registration and login requires that the merchant register as a Facebook developer. The majority of the code for the application is already embedded in ShopSite, but the merchant must provide an application to Facebook before Facebook Connect will work.
To become a Facebook developer:
- Log on to your company Facebook account
- Locate the Facebook Developer app on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2345053339)
- Click "Go to App" button
- Click "Allow" button on the "Request for Permission" page, which will redirect you to http://www.facebook.com/developers/
- You may need to Confirm your developer status using one of Facebook's authentication services (http://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php or https://secure.facebook.com/cards.php)
Now that you are a Facebook developer, you will need to create a Facebook application to work with your ShopSite store.
To create the application:
- Open the Facebook Developer application within Facebook
- Click "+ Set Up New App" button
- Provide the application's name in the "App Name" field (the name will show up when customers choose to register using Facebook Connect, so the name should be indicative of the merchant's store)
- Select the "Agree" radio button, and click the "Create App" button
- Verify the Security Check
- Many of the details within the app are up to the merchant. We recommend that the description field be filled out, as the text from that field will be displayed to any customer using this feature. An icon or company image should also be used. While many of the fields are unnecessary for Facebook Connect to work with ShopSite, the Site URL field (the URL where your store is located, found under the "Website" section of the "Basic" settings ) and the App Domain field (the domain where your store is hosted) are necessary for proper communication between Facebook and ShopSite.
- When you are done editing the details, click the "Save Changes" button to finish.
An overview of your application should be displayed. Copy the App ID and App Secret to the Configure Customer Registration page of the back office.
