How it sells itself

Impersonator allows you to one-click login as your customer without needing their password. It also includes audit logs to keep track of usage history.

Turn your Shopify store into an identity provider for single sign-on. Once signed in, customers open your LMS, CRM portal, community, website, mobile app, or another Shopify store without signing in again. Configure SAML, OAuth/OIDC, or JWT to connect platforms like Thinkific, WordPress, Invision Community, Circle.so, and others that support them.

Key points
  • One-click login as customer (B2B Supported)
  • Audit logs - keep track of login history
  • Secure data handling with a 14-day retention period
  • Allow customers to SSO into any SP Application using existing store credentials
  • Allow Service providers (SPs) to map/sync user details directly from Shopify IDP
  • When a user logs out of Shopify, the user is also logged out of all SPs
  • Configure URL wherever you want to redirect your SSO users after login/logout
