Learn more about SSL Certificates
What is an SSL?
SSL certificates are used to protect sensitive information like credit card numbers, login information, email addresses, and more. A website with an SSL certificate is identified using a number of trust indicators, like "https" and the padlock icon in the browser bar, a site seal from a reputable Certificate Authority (CA), and a green bar that wraps around the URL on more premium certificates. These visual trust indicators help create a more trustful environment where potential customers feel confident in making purchases.
Why Do I Need an SSL?
Having an SSL can help build your customers trust when they use your site. The SSL is also used to secure sensitive information that the customer enters on the storefront. Like credit card numbers, login information, and email addresses. The image below will show some additional benefits to using a SSL.
NOTE: You MUST obtain your SSL through InkSoft through our free Let's Encrypt option. SSLs obtained outside of InkSoft are not compatible.
InkSoft's Built-In SSL
InkSoft provides an SSL as part of using the directory https://stores.inksoft.com/ for all pages of your sites and site pages. This is used as the default for all of your stores.
However, If you would like to display your custom url/domain instead of stores.inksoft.com, then you would need to acquire a separate SSL specifically for that custom domain. Read below to learn about these different options.
