# Pliro Connect

Sign subscribers into your website and apps through Pliro.

Pliro Connect provides a unified way for subscribers to sign into your website and apps. Pliro Connect is built according to [OAuth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) and [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://openid.net/connect/) industry standards and there are many off-the-shelf plugins and client libraries available to aid in integrating Pliro Connect into your website and apps.

Here's an overview of how Pliro Connect works:

1. When a subscriber wants to sign in you redirect them to Pliro.
2. After signing in, they are redirected back to your website or app with a token you can use to access information about the signed in subscriber such as their name, email, and active subscription plan.
3. When a subscriber signs out of your website or app you can optionally request them to be signed out of Pliro as well.
4. When a subscriber signs out of Pliro your website can optionally be notified and sign them out as well.

## Prerequisites

To get started you'll need to create an OAuth application in Pliro. This can be done from the Pliro dashboard by navigating to "Settings > OAuth applications > New application". We recommend using [Pliro's test environment](/test-environment.md) while building out your integration. If you are working on your local machine you can set your application's Redirect URI to `http://localhost:3000/callback` or something similar.

After creating an OAuth application, the application's client ID and client secret will be shown. You'll need these credentials to authenticate your requests to Pliro.
