FastStore storefronts now support the refresh token flow, ensuring users stay logged in longer without reauthenticating.
What has changed?
Previously, user sessions in stores were managed by a cookie that expired after 24 hours, requiring users to log in again if they returned after a day.
With the refresh token, users remain logged in for longer without manually reauthenticating. As long as the user accesses the store within the refresh token’s configured timeframe (1, 7, or 30 days), their session is automatically renewed, keeping them logged in.
Why did we make this change?
By extending user session duration, shoppers can remain logged in for longer, resulting in a more continuous and improved shopping experience and fewer login prompts.
What needs to be done?
To enable the refresh token flow in your account, see the instructions in the Enabling refresh token on FastStore guide.
