Configuring Sign-In with Twitter

Watch the video tutorial for this feature.  

Twitter Sign In Integration requires a Twitter app and API credentials. You can create this using your existing Twitter account. Users will only see the app name you define.

To do this:

  1. Go to https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard.
  2. Log in to your Twitter account.
    If you change the Twitter account under which you create the app, users must re-authenticate and re-link their accounts.
  3. Click Create Project.
  4. Select a project name.
  5. Select an app name.

  6. Save the API Key and API secret key.
  7. Go to app settings and click Edit in the Authentication Settings section.
  8. Enable 3-legged OAuth.
  9. Enter your WHMCS Client Area URL for the callback URLs and website URL.
    • You must enter a valid callback URL.
    • We recommend adding all three possible callback URLs, replacing http://demo.whmcs.com/whmcs/ with your WHMCS installation URL:
      • http://demo.whmcs.com/whmcs/index.php
      • http://demo.whmcs.com/whmcs/index.php/auth/provider/twitter_oauth/callback
      • http:///demo.whmcs.com/whmcs/auth/provider/twitter_oauth/callback
        Make sure that the WHMCS System URL in WHMCS and the Twitter Website and Callback URLs all include the same subdomain or all do not include a subdomain.
  10. Click Save.
  11. Log in to the WHMCS Admin Area.
  12. Navigate to Configuration () > System Settings > Sign-In Integration or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Sign-In Integrations.
  13. Select Activate under the Twitter heading.
  14. Enter your Twitter API Key in the ConsumerKey field and the API Secret into the ConsumerSecret field.
  15. Click Save & Activate.

WHMCS will attempt to validate and test the details you have entered. If the API key and secret are valid and successfully authenticate with the Twitter API, the values will be saved.
