Explains the architecture scenario B2C IAM with an eCommerce or SAAS application.

This guidance is relevant to all project stakeholders. We recommend reading it in its entirety at least once, even if you’ve already started your journey with Auth0. We provide a Project Planning Guide in PDF format, details about how to get started with each phase of the implementation process, and checklists to help you manage the tasks in each phase.

There are many different ways Auth0 can be integrated into the CIAM project architecture. Auth0’s flexibility comprehensively supports many different use cases however your project may not require all of the capabilities provided by Auth0. Knowing what, when, and how best to implement something will help you focus on completing the necessary tasks at the right time.
