Ecwid already transfers all sensitive information via secure HTTPS protocol. It's one of the Ecwid's advantages — you don't need to get an SSL certificate to get secure checkout. You already have it.
In order to show that the checkout is secure, Ecwid shows an image of a padlock on its checkout page.
You can also add
some additional seals or notes to your customers to show them that your checkout is secure.
If you want that browser shows a padlock, you need to perform the following steps:
- purchase an SSL certificate
- install it (your hosting can do it, however you need to have a dedicated IP address)
- link to your store page using HTTPS protocol (i.e. you need to update some your site's or blog's settings)
- slightly update the Ecwid integration code (replace "http://app.ecwid.com" with "https://app.ecwid.com") or enable the special option if you use our WordPress module.
Note: if you see this line in your integration code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//app.ecwid.com/script.js?23002" charset="utf-8"></script>
you don't need to update the integration code. This line woks correctly both on HTTP and HTTPS without any changes.
