You need a Kakao Developers account. If you don't have one yet, sign up at the Kakao Developers Center first.

In the Dream Social Login app, go to Settings → API Keys → Kakao and enter the following:

  • Client ID (API Key) — REST API key from Kakao Developers
  • Client Secret — Client Secret generated at Kakao Developers

FAQ

What if I don't configure Consent Items?

Without setting Email and Profile Info as required, login will appear to work but user information cannot be retrieved, so the integration will not function properly.

My Redirect URI is not working.

Make sure the URL is exactly https://shopidreamapps.com/kakao/auth. No trailing spaces or slashes.
