How to fix ssl expiry on Webflow Commerce
Renew your TLS/SSL certificate before it expires and enable automatic renewal so your store never goes offline or shows security warnings.
Steps for Webflow Commerce
- SSL is managed the same as Webflow standard hosting — automatically provisioned and renewed.
- Check Project Settings → Hosting in the Webflow Dashboard to confirm each domain shows an active SSL status.
What is ssl expiry?
A TLS (SSL) certificate is the digital credential that puts the padlock in your visitors' browser bar and enables the secure "https://" connection to your store. Every certificate has an expiry date — typically 90 days (Let's Encrypt) or 1–2 years (paid CAs). When it expires, browsers immediately block visitors with a full-screen "Your connection is not private" warning, and the padlock disappears. Auto-renewal is a process (a scheduled script or a hosting feature) that requests a fresh certificate a few weeks before the old one expires, so the swap happens invisibly to shoppers.
An expired certificate is an emergency: every visitor sees a hard browser warning and most will leave instantly, causing an immediate and total loss of sales. Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, so a lapsed certificate can drop your organic rankings. Payment processors and card networks require an active TLS certificate — an expired cert can cause checkout failures and put you in breach of PCI-DSS compliance. Setting up auto-renewal costs nothing and takes minutes; ignoring it risks hours or days of complete store downtime.
