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.

Thanks for the reply. It is resolved now. After going round and round I finally convinced the person in chat, that instead of telling me it was a problem on my end, to check the expired cert I was referring to, and discovered it was an expired stock certificate on their end (as I Suggested).

An error pops up when my weebly website is searched.  It states my security certificate has expired.  How do I renew this?

Hi there @crazysrtguy,

 

Are you able to update your A records on your domain from ending in .178 to .164?

If your online store is showing as "not secure," it can be a cause for concern and may impact the trust and confidence of your website visitors. The "not secure" warning typically appears when your website lacks an SSL certificate, which is responsible for encrypting the data transmitted between your website and your visitors' browsers.

Hi Weebly,

 

I have the same issue "not secure site". I did not have this issue until recently; some change on weebly side I think. How do I fix this? I have I think a GoDaddy domain. Thanks,

I am having this same issue and it's so frustrating. My domain is from GoDaddy www.momsmagicalcrown.com and I paid extra for a protected domain. As soon as I merged to Weebly to hot my webpage, every time I share my webpage with others, it says it's not secure. I am about to launch a children's book that I wrote and my website is an integral part of my launch. Help!!!!

Hi there @laurenrae17

 

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 on GoDaddy's end. 

 

If none of these steps work, I suggest reaching out to our Support Team to help further troubleshoot. You can give us a call at 855-700-6000 between 6am-6pm Pacific Time Monday-Friday.

 

You can also get in touch with our Messaging and Email Support Teams at any time here: squ.re/contactsqsupport

 

Hope this helps!
