shopify authentication with firebase

I have been working on a project where I have to develop an android web application of a website that's made with Shopify. I used java for the purpose and in my app, I used firebase authentication because the client wants to store data in firebase. Now the problem is when the user logs in through my app, he gets to see the website view but needs to log in again since the website is on Shopify. Is there any way by which Shopify authenticates the user data from firebase data so the user doesn't have to provide details again?

I searched a lot about it and its something to do with OAuth and access tokens, but I have no clue how to integrate it. Someone, please help me with a solution.

If you are on the Shopify Plus plan, you can auth user on your app backend using Multipass

Documentation starts with the description of the very similar problem to yours:

You're the owner of a successful website forum. All of your users must log in to the forum to contribute. Members of your forum can then purchase a forum t-shirt through your Shopify store. Unfortunately, your users have to log in to the forum first and then log in to your Shopify store before they can purchase a t-shirt.

Multipass login is for store owners who have a separate website and a Shopify store. It redirects users from the website to the Shopify store and seamlessly logs them in with the same email address they used to sign up for the original website. If no account with that email address exists yet, one is created. There is no need to synchronize any customer databases.

By the way, storing e-commerce data outside Shopify is not the cheapest thing to do so I would reconsider the requirements.
