About this plugin
Hippoo Auth enhances the WooCommerce Store API by adding secure JWT-based authentication endpoints. It supports login and signup via Google, Facebook, Apple, or manually with email and password. Once authenticated, users can retrieve and update their billing/shipping information, view order history, and more — all via API.
Perfect for developers building API-driven themes, custom mobile apps, or headless WooCommerce experiences.
Use it to build:
- Headless WooCommerce themes
- Custom frontend apps (React, Vue, etc.)
- Mobile apps using Flutter, React Native, or Kotlin
- API-based user dashboards
With Hippoo Auth, users can register, login (manually or via Google, Apple, or Facebook), and securely access:
- Order history and details
- Billing and shipping addresses
- JWT-based session tokens with refresh support
🔐 Auth is handled via JWT for secure stateless sessions, ideal for frontend-heavy or decoupled environments.
