How to automate Loop Returns user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Summary and recommendation

Loop Returns, the e-commerce returns management platform for Shopify merchants, does not offer SCIM provisioning or enterprise SSO capabilities. The platform only supports basic Google SSO ("Continue with Google") for authentication, with no documented SAML integration for enterprise identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, or OneLogin. This Google-only approach creates significant gaps for IT teams managing access across enterprise identity systems, as users must still be manually invited and managed within Loop Returns regardless of their corporate directory status.

The lack of enterprise identity integration means IT teams cannot enforce consistent access policies, track user lifecycle changes, or maintain compliance visibility for this critical e-commerce tool. While Loop Returns offers multi-shop login capabilities for managing multiple Shopify stores, the absence of SCIM provisioning means onboarding and offboarding e-commerce team members requires manual coordination between IT and operations teams.

The strategic alternative

Loop Returns has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Loop Returns accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Loop Returns pricing problem

Loop Returns gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

EnterpriseCustom pricing❌ No SCIM documented

Note: Loop Returns pricing is based on shipment volume, not user seats. Even Enterprise plans show no documented SCIM support.

What this means in practice

For companies using Okta, Entra ID, or other enterprise IdPs: You cannot automate user provisioning or deprovisioning. IT teams must:

Manually create and remove user accounts
Rely on Google SSO only (excluding users without Google accounts)
Handle access reviews manually across multiple Shopify stores
Risk orphaned accounts when employees leave

For multi-store operations: Loop Returns offers "multi-shop login" allowing one email across multiple stores, but this still requires manual account management for each store setup.

Additional constraints

Google-only authentication
No enterprise SAML support limits identity provider choice
Manual user lifecycle
No automated onboarding/offboarding creates security risks
E-commerce focus
Platform designed for Shopify merchants, not enterprise IT requirements
Documentation gaps
No clear enterprise identity roadmap or advanced authentication options

Summary of challenges

  • Loop Returns does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Loop Returns actually offers for identity

Google SSO Only

Loop Returns provides basic Google authentication for Shopify merchants:

SettingDetails
ProtocolGoogle OAuth ("Continue with Google")
Supported IdPsGoogle Workspace only
ConfigurationBuilt-in Google SSO button
Multi-shop supportOne email can access multiple stores

Critical limitation: This isn't enterprise SSO. It's consumer-grade Google authentication designed for Shopify store owners, not IT-managed identity systems.

What's missing for enterprise teams

Loop Returns has no documented support for:

SAML SSO with enterprise IdPs (Okta, Entra, OneLogin)
SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle
Enterprise identity management beyond basic Google login
Role-based access controls tied to IdP groups

Translation: If your e-commerce team needs to integrate Loop Returns with your corporate identity provider, you'll likely need to contact their sales team to discuss enterprise options. The current offering is built for individual Shopify merchants, not enterprise IT environments.

What IT admins are saying

Loop Returns's limited identity integration options create headaches for enterprise IT teams managing multiple SaaS applications:

The platform's multi-shop login feature works for e-commerce teams, but IT admins report having to maintain separate user management processes outside their standard identity workflows.

  • Google-only SSO - No support for enterprise identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, or OneLogin
  • No automated provisioning - All user accounts must be manually created and managed
  • Limited enterprise features - No documented SAML or SCIM capabilities for larger organizations
  • E-commerce focus over enterprise - Built primarily for Shopify merchants rather than enterprise identity workflows

Google SSO (Continue with Google) for login... Not limited to Gmail addresses.

The recurring theme

Loop Returns treats identity as an afterthought, forcing IT teams to manage users manually while their other applications integrate seamlessly with enterprise identity providers.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small e-commerce team (<10 users)Manual management is acceptable with Google SSO
Google Workspace organizationUse Google SSO for authentication, manual provisioning
Enterprise with Okta, Entra, or OneLoginUse Stitchflow: no enterprise IdP support available
Multi-brand e-commerce operationUse Stitchflow: streamlines access across multiple stores
Compliance requirements or audit needsUse Stitchflow: automation essential for proper access trails

The bottom line

Loop Returns is built for Shopify merchants and only supports Google SSO—there's no SAML or SCIM for enterprise identity providers. For organizations using Okta, Entra, or OneLogin, Stitchflow is the only path to automated provisioning without forcing users to maintain separate Google accounts.

E-commerce / Returns Management

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Returnly, the returns management platform acquired by Affirm, does not publicly document any SCIM provisioning capabilities or enterprise SSO features. Since the acquisition, enterprise authentication and user management features appear to be handled through Affirm's broader platform rather than Returnly's standalone offering. This creates significant uncertainty for IT teams managing user access to returns management workflows, as there's no clear path for automated provisioning or standardized SSO integration with identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, or Google Workspace. The lack of documented provisioning capabilities means IT teams must rely on manual user management processes for a platform that often requires access coordination between customer service, operations, and e-commerce teams. Without automated provisioning, onboarding new team members or adjusting access permissions requires manual intervention, creating operational bottlenecks and potential security gaps when users aren't promptly deprovisioned upon role changes or departures.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.

ActiveCampaign

No SCIM

Marketing Automation / Email

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

ActiveCampaign, the marketing automation platform, does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While the Enterprise plan ($145+/month) includes SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—there's no automated deprovisioning when employees leave or change roles. New SSO users are automatically added to a generic "SSO Users" group with configurable permissions, but IT teams have no way to programmatically manage user lifecycles or enforce granular access controls based on department or role changes. This creates a significant gap for marketing teams that need to manage access to customer data and campaign tools. When employees leave the company or change departments, their ActiveCampaign access must be manually revoked, creating compliance risks and potential data exposure. The lack of automated deprovisioning means former employees could theoretically retain access to sensitive marketing data and customer information until someone manually removes them from the platform.
