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 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) 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 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.
