WordPress vs WooCommerce Social Login
What’s the difference between Social Login for WordPress, and Social Login for WooCommerce? Isn’t WooCommerce based on WordPress? Yes, exactly; its based on! Meaning WooCommerce extends WordPress with a whole bunch of new fields, like the one thats used during checkout, and most free plugins do not prepopulate the first and last name of a WooCommerce order. Isn’t that what you were trying to accomplish?
Shortlist of my Top 3 recommendations
- Heator Social Login
- Nextend Social Login Pro
Nextend Social Login
I’ve been using and recommending this plugin for a looong time. Ever since back in the days I just got started with S2Member.
SM logins supported
- Free version supports: FB, Google, Twitter (for WP-only)
- Pro adds WooCommerce support and more options to long: LinkedIn, Amazon, VKontakte, WordPress.com, Yahoo, PayPal, Disqus, Apple and more coming soon
PROs
- Free version available (but not for Woo support)
- Super pretty and clean professional looks
CONs
- Expensive I dare say for the Pro version: €53 for a single domain. €212 for upto 10 domains thus €21 per domain in bulk.

PROs
- Created by SkyVerge (a GoDaddy brand); makes a lot of high quality Woo plugins including Woo Memberships
- A lot of custom coding snippets provided

CONs
- Expensive at $79/year per site!
- Limited login options for its price
- Alignment of buttons is ugly / getting used to.
Conclusion
Which is one is best. The one that has the most affiliate commission? Note: all linked resource do not have referral links at the moment, but they might have soon!
It depends what you need. If money was no object I would buy the 10 sites license of Nextend. Plain simply as its currently the only one that has the fancy Apple login. For which an Apple Developer account (priced at $99) is required.
