Enabling Store-Front SSL Security

An SSL certificate is used to encrypt and secure a web site, and you'll find an SSL certificate is used to provide an https:// session for your web browser when you go to the checkout pages of your Spiffy Store.

When your web browser session is using an https:// session on a page, then all of the data on that page is encrypted, and nobody can read or intercept the data except the web site that you are connecting to. This means that your personal and financial details are safe and secure.

Securing the Internet

As the Internet grows and expands, it's important for us all to take care to keep our personal information safe. At Spiffy Stores, we've always put a high priority on security, and we're happy to be able to now provide free SSL certificates for all domain names on all Spiffy Stores.

We believe that it's now incredibly important to provide a safe and secure environment for both you and your customers, and we're helping with that by enabling you to use a free SSL certificate to secure and encrypt all of your Spiffy Stores pages as well as the checkout pages which were already secure.

Once you enable Store-Front SSL, your customers will see all of your site's pages displayed with a secure padlock icon on the web browser. This will give customers greater confidence in making purchases from your store.

Getting some help from Google
