What it does
Registration forms are a common point where directory visitors give up. Someone wants to post a listing, save a favorite or leave a review, and a long sign-up form gets in the way. Directorist - Social Login adds social sign-in to a site built with the Directorist plugin, so people can use an account they already have on platforms like Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn. Authentication runs through OAuth, the standard method these providers use for third-party sign-in.
The add-on works inside the Directorist environment and keeps the look of your directory consistent. You choose which social providers to turn on, and you can adjust the style of the login buttons so they match your branding and theme. The buttons are responsive, so the sign-in works on phones and tablets as well as desktops. It suits local business directories, service listing sites and other listing platforms built on Directorist.
Best for
- Local business directories built with Directorist
- Service and listing sites that need user accounts
