Aeion Auth for E-commerce
Frictionless social sign-in (Google, Apple, Facebook) + passwordless magic links for password-fatigued shoppers + login risk scoring as a fraud signal. Auth and Commerce share the same tenant database, so linking guest-checkout history to a returning customer is a straightforward build, not a separate integration project. No per-MAU bill.
The E-commerce Authentication Problem
E-commerce conversion is brutally sensitive to friction at sign-in. A few percent improvement at the checkout-or-register decision compounds into significant ARR. Three forcing functions:
How Aeion Auth Fits
Aeion Auth's three e-commerce-relevant features:
Guest Checkout → Registered Customer Migration
The e-commerce flow Aeion's Commerce + Auth modules are built to support:
Login Risk as Fraud Signal
The same login risk scoring that supports SOC 2 audit can double as a fraud signal for e-commerce.
Recommended Provider Stack for E-com
Different from B2B SaaS — consumer audiences want speed, not federation.
E-commerce-Specific FAQ
Today the magic link authenticates whichever browser opens it — there's no built-in cross-device session-transfer flow. If that matters for your checkout UX, it's a pattern you'd build on top (e.g., a short-lived pairing code) rather than something Aeion ships out of the box.
Aeion's login risk score is computed per login. You can build logic in your Commerce module to require step-up MFA only for elevated-risk logins or high-value orders — the risk score and event are there to key off of, but that policy layer is something you configure/build, not a toggle that ships pre-wired.
That's a Commerce module setting, not an Auth one — guest checkout doesn't create an Auth session at all. Configure it based on how long you want "track my order" links to keep working.
There's no dedicated customer-merge tool shipped today. Because Commerce orders and Auth users share the same tenant database, a support engineer (or a small internal tool) can look up guest orders by email and reassign them to the new account — but it's a build, not a one-click admin feature.
Partially — credential stuffing typically presents as high-volume failed logins from rotating IPs against your top emails. Aeion's risk model factors in new-device/new-country signals and recent failed-attempt counts, which helps, but it doesn't currently detect anonymizing-network traffic or impossible-travel patterns specifically. Pair with platform-wide rate limiting for the throttling layer.
