Integrating Google Sign-In into Your Crypto Exchange

Integrating Google Sign-In can streamline the login process by allowing users to authenticate using their Google account. This guide will help you create a Google Client ID and Client Secret for your crypto exchange platform.

Pre-requisites:

  • A Google account is required to access the Google Developers Console.

Steps to Obtain Google Client ID and Client Secret

  1. Access Google Developers Console

  2. Create a New Project

    • Click on "Select a project" at the top of the screen, then choose "New Project." Complete the form and click "Create."

  3. Configure OAuth Consent Screen

    • Select Api & Services > "OAuth consent screen" from the sidebar. Choose your User Type (usually 'External' for crypto exchanges) and click "Create."

  4. Enter Application Information

    • Provide the following details:
      • Application name
      • Support email
      • Authorized domain (e.g., yoursite.com)
      • Developer contact information
    • Click "Save and Continue."

  5. Complete OAuth Consent Steps

    • Complete the required steps indicated on the OAuth consent screen, then click "Back to Dashboard."

  6. Create Credentials

    • Navigate to the "Credentials" tab, click "Create Credentials," and select "OAuth client ID."

  7. Register Application Type

    • Choose "Web application" as the "Application type." Provide a name for your OAuth 2.0 client.

  8. Set Authorized URIs

    • Under "Authorized JavaScript origins," add your site URL.
    • For "Authorized redirect URIs," enter the URL where users will be redirected after authentication (e.g., https://yoursite.com/Login/googleRedirect).
    • Click "Create."

    Important:

    • Authorized JavaScript Origins: https://yoursite.com
    • Authorized Redirect URL: https://yoursite.com/Login/googleRedirect

  9. Retrieve Client ID and Secret

    • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the confirmation screen.[ Or even save JSON file for future reference]

  10. Update Your Configuration

    • In your site's configuration file (e.g., other_config.php), set GOOGLE_LOGIN_ALLOWED to 1.
    • Add your GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET to the respective fields.

Next Steps

With the Client ID and Client Secret, you can now integrate Google Sign-In into your site's authentication system. Ensure to follow security best practices when handling and storing these credentials.
