Shopify Plus is a robust e-commerce platform favored by growing brands for its powerful management tools and customization capabilities, but its default email-password authentication system is limited and can lead to higher cart abandonment and increased fraud risk. Descope addresses these issues by integrating as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider, offering advanced authentication options such as passwordless login, multi-factor authentication, and social sign-ins, which enhance security and improve user experience. By using Descope, merchants can reduce friction in the login process, leading to higher conversion rates and better protection against fraudulent activities, all while maintaining the strong e-commerce framework of Shopify Plus. Descope's drag-and-drop, no-code solution also supports unified authentication for multiple sites, A/B testing for optimizing user flows, and detailed analytics to further boost e-commerce performance.
