Single sign-on (SSO)

Use this method to redirect and login users of the Channel Manager (CM) / Partner account automatically from your system into their CM / Partner account based on their email address. This method connects third-party systems with the 2Checkout CM / Partner Control Panel and enables your partners to seamlessly sign in to their Control Panel.

getPartnerSingleSignOn logs the partner users only into the Channel Manager account associated with your 2Checkout account. This method will not replicate the functionality of a full sign-in operation for users who partnered with multiple 2Checkout vendors and are leveraging connected partner accounts.

Requirements

This method requires you to set a specific partner using setPartner.
