How to choose a PrestaShop login module

Match login methods to your audience

Consumer stores benefit most from social login and Sign in with Google. B2B/wholesale stores often need private access and manual approval. Verification (SMS/OTP) matters where fraud or fake accounts are a problem.

Reduce friction without weakening security

Passwordless options (passkeys, magic links, OTP) cut friction and are generally more secure than passwords. Offer a couple of methods rather than forcing one.

Decide if you need access control

If you must hide products or prices from the public (wholesale, members-only), that is access control, not just login. Use a private-store module for gating and approvals.

Confirm PrestaShop version compatibility

Check that the module supports your exact PrestaShop version (1.7, 8, or 9). Every HiPresta module lists supported versions on its page.
