Getting SSL for my custom domain on Shopify
Asked 5 years ago
I got a custom domain for my Shopify store. How do I get SSL certificate for it? Does Shopify add it automatically?

Hi, Mark here from KeepShoppers
SSL certificates are automatically created and added to your Shopify store after your custom domain has been properly set up. It can take up to 48 hours before the SSL certificates are properly set up. During the setup time, a security error might be displayed on the browser when visiting your Shopify store and your Shopify admin might display an SSL Unavailable error.
Note - the default settings for your Shopify store activates SSL certificates for your store's checkout pages, as well as for any hosted content on your .myshopify.com domain.
