I have a site with user accounts and auth already set up. Is there a decent guide that shows integration with something like this?

Hi @Chris,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect Snipcart with an external authentication system at the moment.
We hope to address this in the future but can’t commit to an ETA at this stage.
Our customers dealing with such scenarios usually store their internal user id in the metadata of the cart using the JavaScript API.
Values set in the metadata are available through our API, Webhooks and dashboard. Essentially, this will allow you to keep track of who in your system placed the order.
Let me know if that helps,
Cheers!
I’d like to +1 this need/request. For now, I’ll proceed with passing the user data into the cart meta. Official support for existing authentication seems like a common need and would make Snipcart very appealing to companies with existing infrastructure who want ecommerce without the hassle of a large integration.
