Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
An SSL certificate is a key component for a safe, secure ecommerce site. Adding an SSL certificate will protect your business and boost customer confidence by safely encrypting your customers’ most sensitive data.
In an online transaction, an SSL certificate turns sensitive data into secure code.
The web browser checks the SSL certificate to ensure that the site is legitimate.
Once verified, the browser and server process the encoded information.

SSL Certificate FAQs
- What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a tool that ensures the safe communication of sensitive data upon submission to a website, particularly personally identifying information and credit card numbers. The SSL certificate encrypts this information as it’s transferred between internet sites.
- How do SSL certificates work?
SSL certificates encrypt information at the time payments are submitted so internet hackers can’t read the information as it is flowing across the information superhighway. Once the data reaches the intended destination, it’s then decrypted into original form for use.
- Do I need an SSL certificate for my site?
If you’re receiving payments directly from your online store, you need an SSL certificate. This essential tool is required for online transactions. In addition, customers receive reassurance from knowing that your website is secure, which increases conversions. If you’re using the QuickBooks Web Connector, you’ll also need to have an SSL certificate.
- Does my plan come with a Volusion SSL certificate?
Yes! All Volusion unlimited plans come with an SSL certificate. Installation will happen minutes after you go live and renewal will automatically occur every 3 months.
- I already have an SSL certificate from another provider. Can’t I use that one?
