Security (OWASP) · 1 fixes
Ssl cert invalidModerate effort
Install a valid SSL/TLS certificate that exactly matches your store's domain name, so browsers trust your site and customer data is encrypted in transit.
On Ecwid (by Lightspeed)
- If your Ecwid store is embedded in a website (WordPress, Wix, etc.), SSL is the responsibility of the host website — fix the certificate there using the relevant platform steps above.
- If you use an Ecwid Instant Site (your-store.ecwid.com or a custom domain via Ecwid), go to Ecwid Control Panel → Website → Instant Site Settings → Custom Domain.
- Ecwid provisions SSL automatically for custom domains connected through this panel. Confirm your domain's DNS CNAME points to the value Ecwid specifies, then click 'Connect domain'. SSL is issued automatically.

Ssl expiryQuick win
Monitor your SSL/TLS certificate expiry date and set up auto-renewal so your store never goes offline or shows a security warning to shoppers.
On Ecwid (by Lightspeed)
- If your Ecwid store is embedded in an existing website, SSL is managed by that website's hosting provider — log in there to verify renewal.
- If using an Ecwid instant site (ecwid.com subdomain or custom domain), SSL is handled automatically by Ecwid/Lightspeed — confirm the padlock is visible on your storefront.
- For custom domains on an Ecwid instant site, ensure your domain's DNS CNAME record points to Ecwid's servers so the platform can manage certificate issuance.
