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. That leaves a workflow gap in offboarding, access reviews, and license cleanup unless your team handles the app another way. Stitchflow builds and maintains the IT workflows your team still runs manually, across every app, including the ones without APIs.

Supported identity providers
| IdP | SSO | SCIM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okta | Via third-party | ❌ | No Okta integration found. Loop Returns primarily supports Google SSO for Shopify merchants. |
| Microsoft Entra ID | Via third-party | ❌ | No Azure AD/Entra integration documented. Platform focused on e-commerce (Shopify) rather than enterprise identity. |
| Google Workspace | Via third-party | ❌ | No native support |
| OneLogin | Via third-party | ❌ | No native support |
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.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $155/month (2,000 shipments) | ||
| Advanced | $272-340/month (2,000 shipments) | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
Pricing structure
| Plan | Price | SCIM |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | $155/month (2,000 shipments) | ❌ Not available |
| Advanced | $272-340/month (2,000 shipments) | ❌ Not available |
| Enterprise | Custom 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:
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
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:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | Google OAuth ("Continue with Google") |
| Supported IdPs | Google Workspace only |
| Configuration | Built-in Google SSO button |
| Multi-shop support | One 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:
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 Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small e-commerce team (<10 users) | Manual management is acceptable with Google SSO |
| Google Workspace organization | Use Google SSO for authentication, manual provisioning |
| Enterprise with Okta, Entra, or OneLogin | Use Stitchflow: no enterprise IdP support available |
| Multi-brand e-commerce operation | Use Stitchflow: streamlines access across multiple stores |
| Compliance requirements or audit needs | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for proper access trails |
The bottom line
Loop Returns has no native SCIM. That means one more workflow gap in offboarding, access reviews, and license cleanup unless your team handles it another way.
Close the Loop Returns workflow gap
Loop Returns is one gap in a broader workflow. Stitchflow builds and maintains the offboarding, access review, or license workflow across every app in your environment.
