Nextend Connect Plugin, you can create an easy and customizable way to interact with your users while signing up an account on your Website.

Each Social Media Application will be divided into 3 different plugins which allow you to insert APIs Keys, Secret Keys and IDs referring to the Social Media defined for users registration.

So, before we get started, remember that for this step you have to be fully working with SSL. If you haven’t configured it yet, it’s recommended to conclude this step and then follow the steps below.

SSL is an important complement that should be added while setting up your Social Login. It’s recommended because we’re asking permission to get access to user’s credentials to conclude the account sign up. Please, if you have tried to include Social Logins before without SSL, revise your settings and include them where it’s requested
