Social media comes up with a new buzz every day. We cannot decline the fact social media has not only changed the way of connecting to our acquaintances but has also revolutionized the way of communication between the users and websites.
Keeping the social media marketing and all other uses of social media aside, here I am talking about the social login feature and the ways of implementing a social login using PrestaShop Facebook addons on your website.
How Social login adds value to your website?
The immediate effect that you will notice on your website is the decrease in the cart abandonments. E-Commerce websites suffer a great loss from the cart abandonments that occur due to lengthy checkout processes on their stores. The length of the checkout process is increased exponentially when you ask the customers to register an account by filling the registration forms.
With the addition of PrestaShop Facebook addon on your store, you will be able to eliminate the account registration step and still you will capture the customer information from their Facebook account. Almost every online user has a Facebook account nowadays. So, it will not be a tough task for them to just click a Facebook login button and login directly to their user account.

Step 1: Download a PrestaShop Facebook addon and install it like every other PrestaShop module on your site.
