Reactjs website logging into prestaShop

[kgood]

I have a react.js website that I want users to be able to login into and manage items they've purchased. I need a shop where users can make these purchases. So I guess my question is, can users login/create an account thru the site and still access prestaShop without having to login again there?

You can use the axios library to quickly post and capture the session cookie (saved in browser):

	import axios from 'axios';
	import qs from 'qs';
	 
	export const logMeIn = async (email, passwd) {
	const { data } = await axios.post('https://myprestastore/authentication', qs.stringify({ SubmitLogin: true, email, passwd }));
	// Do something with the login response
	}

Thanks for your response PrestaRalph. 

So when you login to the prestaShop it creates a session cookie and creates an account in the database for that user correct?
