\"spiffy-stores-https-ssl\"Today we\u2019re moving forward with our plans for a more secure, safer Internet for everyone. We\u2019ve decided that it\u2019s time for an upgrade to the security on all Spiffy Stores, so we\u2019re issuing free SSL certificates for every Spiffy Store.<\/p>\n

In case you missed that\u2026 every page, every image, all content\u2026 everything on all ecommerce stores powered by Spiffy Stores can now be accessed using SSL encryption for free!<\/p>\n

In the past we\u2019ve used SSL encryption to protect a customer\u2019s personal information in the checkout, and other traffic used unsecured HTTP transfer. This is the way most ecommerce websites work. We\u2019ve decided however that we need to give our store owners a boost to help build customer trust as well as a small boost to their Google ranking.<\/p>\n

Why does HTTPS help build trust?<\/h2>\n

When a potential customer visits your store, they look for visual cues that it\u2019s safe to buy from you. Probably the most powerful indicator that your store is safe is the padlock icon that appears when your ecommerce store is fully encrypted. We\u2019ve also been told they look for it whether they\u2019re in your store\u2019s checkout or not.<\/p>\n

How does HTTPS help your Google ranking?<\/h2>\n

In August 2014, Google made the announcement<\/a> regarding making HTTPS a ranking signal. So there\u2019s a little boost for being completely HTTPS. Not only are you boosting your rankings with a secured site, but also you\u2019re doing a favour for your customers by providing them a secure environment to view your products and make a purchase.<\/p>\n

How can I encrypt my Spiffy Store?<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve already done it for you, and made it completely free! It\u2019s super easy to fully encrypt your Spiffy Store, improve your store\u2019s security, increase customer trust, and boost your SEO.<\/p>\n

Before enabling SSL, you should also check out our knowledge base article on things you’ll need to take into account when enabling SSL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is log into your store, head over to the DNS & Domains section of your Preferences, and tick the Store-Front SSL Enabled option. If you have any issues, just let us know<\/a>.<\/p>\n
