Connect Shopify or Shopify Plus with Okta to centralize SSO and user provisioning, reduce admin overhead, and enforce secure access for staff, partners, and agencies.
• Okta acts as the identity provider, and Shopify is treated as the service provider, with sign-in handled via SAML 2.0 (or OIDC where supported).
• User identities and attributes (email, name, group membership) are mapped from Okta to Shopify accounts, with deterministic matching on email.
• Authentication requests initiated from Shopify are redirected to Okta, and successful assertions create an authenticated Shopify session.
• Okta policies enforce MFA and conditional access during the login flow, while Shopify receives only the assertion outcome and basic identity claims.
• Group-to-role mapping is handled via Okta groups aligned to Shopify admin roles, with access decisions evaluated at login based on current group membership.
• Deprovisioning in Okta disables the user’s ability to authenticate to Shopify, and access events are logged in Okta system logs for audit trails.

We configure SAML or OIDC-based SSO, map Okta groups to Shopify roles, and validate login, session, and MFA behavior in a staging flow before switching access over.
Yes. Okta lifecycle events can trigger account creation, role updates, and offboarding, so access is removed when someone leaves or changes teams.
Okta groups can be mapped to Shopify admin roles and custom permissions, so the right people get the right access without manual role edits in Shopify.
It can support multi-store setups by applying consistent SSO policies, group mappings, and access rules per store, while keeping identity control centralized in Okta.
MFA is enforced in Okta during authentication, so Shopify inherits the same sign-in policy without relying on separate, store-level MFA settings.
