Benefits of Social Login

Easy registration: Social login offers simplified, quick and easy registration. It provides the convenience to consumers to register in a single click mitigating the time-consuming process of creating a new account.

Increases consumer sign-up: Since social login offers hassle-free registration, there is a higher possibility of successful sign-up. Also, it induces enhanced consumer experience on a platform.

Reduces cart abandonment: Online shoppers often need to go through mandatory registration during checkout. With social login, it is easier to ensure that consumers are logging in with a single click, leading to reduced cart abandonment.

Reduces bounce rate: It is one of the best options for people who hate filling up the registration form. These consumers do not think twice before exiting from a website. Implementing social login can reduce bounce rate and increase the average site time simultaneously.

Fewer login fails: When consumers do not need to remember usernames and passwords, there is a lesser possibility of login fails.
