Online Store: Why does my site show as 'not secure'?

I recently switched over to the new online store powered by Weebly. It was working fine, until I upgraded and added a custom domain (my website is hosted by Wix). The link works, but it is NOT SECURE and it has caused all of my products to state, "not accepting payments at this time." I tried switching back to the domain that Square automatically assigned to our Weebly store, but I cannot find an option that lets me do that. It says SSL is automatic, to give it some time and it will override, but it's been about 10 hours since I switched domains, and it is  still not working

Hey @tolgardgames-

 

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community. Really sorry to hear about this issue you've been experiencing.

 

Any change to the DNS settings can take 24-48 hours to update on the backend. You will also need to make sure the domain is properly pointed to our IP address, that there are no AAAA records, and that the SSL is enabled.

 

If you're using the Square Online Store, you can unpublish (from Website> General Settings) and then publish again from within the editor.

 

Let me know which of these suggestions/steps you've tried already. I look forward to hearing from you.

Okay, 

when I go to website/general settings and click on customize, I get this selection.

I have already transferred my domain to square so I don’t see how these options apply. Is this considered a custom domain. Do I need a paid plan to do this?

Hi @Lisepomeroy It looks like you were able to successfully link your domain to your site and publish. I see what you mean by the wording being confusing, though. Were you able to connect it from this page in your screenshot?

I didn’t realize that using an existing domain that I had paid to transfer and maintain on square was considered a “custom” domain. That meant I had to pay to upgrade from the free plan. 🤔

It definitely was not pointed out to me that I needed to do that. I struggled with trying everything. Even the customer support person seemed to give up on me.
