Understanding Google Account Login

A Google Account consists of your email address and the password you chose when you signed up for a Google account. This authentication method provides a secure and convenient way to access the platform without creating separate login credentials.

Step-by-Step Login Process

To log into your platform using Google, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the login page and locate the authentication options.
2. Click the "Google" login option. This will initiate a secure authentication process, redirecting you to the Google login page.
3. Enter your email in the "Email" field on the Google authentication page.
4. Click "Log in" and enter your Google password when prompted.
   
5. Complete the authentication process by following any additional security prompts from Google (such as two-factor authentication if enabled).

First-Time User Experience

When a new user logs into the platform with their Google account for the first time, the following occurs:

• A customer organization will be automatically created if the functionality to auto-create organization is enabled for the seller
• The user will be assigned the "Customer" role automatically
• The user will be able to make purchases immediately after successful authentication

Profile Information Synchronization

Upon successful authentication, the platform will sync the relevant user profile information from your Google account, including:

• Name and display information
• Email address
• Profile picture (if available)
• Basic account details necessary for platform functionality

This synchronization ensures that your platform profile is populated with accurate information without requiring manual data entry.

Limitations

Currently, there are no known limitations with the Google account login functionality. The authentication process is designed to work seamlessly with all standard Google accounts.

Summary

The Google account login feature provides users with a secure and efficient way to access the platform using their existing Google credentials. The process includes automatic organization creation for first-time users, immediate customer role assignment, and comprehensive profile information synchronization to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
