Login Persist in checkout page

[Pankajmehta1998]

Hi, i am logged in in my hydrogen js application using custom way: using username and password. I want to maintain user logged in state in checkout page. I am logged in my application but in my checkout page, i need to login again. I am using the default checkout page which is provided by shopify.

Are you logging in via the storefront/admin API? According to Shopify the Customer Account API was created to solve this exact problem (without multipass) and it has worked flawlessly for me. But you can't use email/password, you can only use passwordless

The most significant pain point of developing a headless storefront on Shopify is the inability to keep the customer authenticated as they navigate from a headless storefront to checkout. While Plus merchants have had the ability to work around this issue using Multipass (our solution for 3rd party authentication), developers without access to Plus have been left without a viable solution. This creates a disjointed experience for customers and a hurdle for developers aiming to provide a seamless shopping experience. Recognizing this, we've been committed to finding a solution that is accessible to all developers, regardless of their plan or resources.

Hi @Pankajmehta1998,

With the traditional customer accounts, the only way to persist the session from Hydrogen (or any other headless framework) to checkout is by using multipass.

We have a complete example with instructions multipass

As @toadums highlighted, if using the new Customer Accounts you would not need multipass, but then you would be limited by the Customer Account customization options as of today.

hope that clarifies this issue

@juanpprieto its not working for me as const cart1 = useOptimisticCart(originalCart);, useOptimisticCart is not available in @shopify/hydrogen, is there any way possible if we can get over a call for this as i followed the docs which you provided.
