Login with mobile number and OTP

StoreHippo allows you to enable login with mobile number and OTP. If you enable login via phone number and OTP in your store, your customers don't need an email id and password to login as they can log in to your store through a phone number and OTP. This helps your customers to not remember the password every time they log in. You can also select the OTP size and the same size OTP will be received by the customers for login.

Scenario

You want your customers to log in with the phone number and OTP instead of email and password. Your customers will receive an OTP every time they try to log into your store. 

Steps

To set up the login with mobile number and OTP, first, you need to provide a login field as a phone in User Settings and provide fields in Register and Login forms. Follow the below-mentioned steps to enable login via mobile number and OTP:

Enabling login with phone number and OTP

• Go to the Settings > User Settings section in the StoreHippo Admin Panel.
