Authentication Methods

Stash supports two primary methods for authenticating players on your webshop. You may choose to implement either approach, or both, depending on your needs. While the initial configuration steps are similar, each method involves a different integration process and level of effort.

Direct Sign-in / SSO

Players sign in directly on the webshop using SSO providers (e.g., Google, Apple, Facebook), which you configure in Stash Studio by entering the required credentials. Users simply click “Sign in,” choose a preffered provider, and authenticate in the browser.

Account Linking

With account linking, players authenticate by launching your game via a deep link (on mobile) or scanning a QR code (on desktop), which passes a unique session code to the game client. The client then sends this session code along with the player’s authentication data to Stash. This method enables a fast, passwordless login experience by leveraging the player’s existing session in the game client.
