Do I need to build a login UI if using Hosted Checkout?

No, Hosted Checkout handles login and registration automatically. Use this skill only if you need custom account pages or auth-gated features outside the checkout flow.

How should I store authentication tokens?

The SDK recommends using CookieTokenStorage for Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or BrowserTokenStorage for Single Page Applications (SPA) to ensure XSS protection.

Does this skill support passwordless login?

Yes, it supports OTP-based (One Time Password) login via Email, Phone, and WhatsApp, eliminating the need for users to remember passwords.

What is anonymous authentication in Commerce Engine?

Anonymous auth is a required first step for every visitor. It allows the SDK to track carts, manage sessions, and handle analytics before a user officially logs in.

How does the register_if_not_exists feature work?

Setting this flag to true on login endpoints automatically creates a new account if the user doesn't exist, providing a seamless, unified entry point for all users.
