Wix Single Sign-On (SSO)
Wix provides a platform that allows businesses or people to create responsive websites without any technical expertise. It provides the pre-edited templates of different sites as per users need. Wix allows users to accomplish most aspects of web development & website distribution entirely within the application, so go grab ready to use Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for Wix.
Challenge faced by Wix Users
Wix users want a continuous and seamless access to their portal through their existing accounts. They don't wish for their users to have a separate set of credentials for logging in to Wix. Wix provides a way for its users to allow their users to log in to the platform seamlessly. But, an interface needs to be created which would allow this.
