2. Social Connect Magento extension
Magento social connect extension that would connect your
Magento installation with multiple authentication providers

Magento extension named Inchoo Social Connect allowing
your customers to login or create an account at your store
using their Google, Facebook or Twitter account.

Responsive Custom Menu

3. Introduction
After you install and configure Inchoo Social
Connect, your Magento installation will have
Google, Facebook and Twitter buttons added to
your login page as a convenient way for your
customers to login or register using their Google or
Facebook account. This functionality will also be
available at your create an account page, as well
as at the first step of your store’s checkout
process.

7. 
By using one of the Inchoo Social Connect buttons customer will
initiate different process depending whether he already connected his
user account to one of your store’s accounts or not. For first time
customers Social Connect will create a brand new store account using
data received from authentication provider, send registration email
with store account credentials and then connect that store’s account to
authentication provider’s account. If Social Connect discovers that email
address given by the authentication provider is already used by existing
store customer, customer in question will be logged in and his account
will be connected to the authentication provider. Customers who
already have their store account connected to an authentication
provider’s account will be automatically logged into your store.

To take advantage of Social Connect, existing customers will be able
to connect their store accounts with authentication provider of their
choice from their account settings page.

10. Installation
First step to having fully functional Social Connect
installation is to download latest version of Inchoo Social
Connect Magento extension zip package, and merge
contents of enclosed directory into your Magento
installation root. After adding Social Connect to you
Magento installation, you can log into your Magento admin
