Configuring Sign-In with Facebook

Facebook Sign-In Integration requires a Facebook app. You can create this using your existing Facebook account. Users will only see the app name you define and will not see anything relating to the account you use to create the app.

You can't change the Facebook account under which you create the app without requiring users to reauthenticate and re-link their accounts.

To set up sign-in with Facebook:

  1. Create a Facebook App.
    1. Visit the Facebook developer portal.
    2. Log in to your Facebook account.
    3. Click Create App. Facebook-1.png
    4. Select Consumer as the app type. Facebook-2.png
    5. Click Continue.
    6. Enter an App Display Name. This is the name people will see when authorizing your app. We recommend using your company name here.
    7. Enter an App Contact Email. This email will be used for important communication about your app. Facebook-3.png
    8. Click Create App.
    9. Locate Facebook Login and click Set Up. Facebook-4.png
    10. Select Web as your platform. Facebook-5.png

    12. Click Save.
    13. Click Continue.

    1. From the App Review menu, select Permissions and Features.

    3.  Agree to the request and click Confirm.
  3. Retrieve the App Credentials.
    1. Navigate to the Dashboard.
    2. From the Settings menu, select Basic.
    3. Click Show to view the App ID and Secret. Fb10.png
  4. Activate the app within WHMCS.
  5. Log in to the WHMCS Admin Area.
  6. Navigate to Configuration () > System Settings > Sign-In Integrations or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Sign-In Integrations.
  7. Select Activate under the Facebook heading.
  8. Enter your Facebook App ID and your Facebook App Secret.
  9. Click Save & Activate.

WHMCS will attempt to validate and test the details you have entered. If the App ID and Secret are valid and successfully authenticate with the Facebook API, the values will be saved.
