Shopify Store Setup Tips and Tricks

Steps to fix SSL Pending for your Shopify store:

If you’re experiencing SSL pending issues in your Shopify store, it’s essential to address them promptly to ensure a secure browsing experience for your customers. Here are some steps you can take to fix SSL pending issues in your Shopify store:

  1. Check SSL Status:
    • Log in to your Shopify admin.
    • Go to “Online Store” and then click on “Domains.”
    • Ensure that your domain status is “Connected” and that the SSL status is “Enabled.” If it’s not enabled, click on “Enable SSL.”
  2. Wait for SSL Activation:
    • SSL activation may take some time. If you’ve recently added or updated your domain, it may take up to 48 hours for the SSL certificate to be activated.
  3. Check Domain Settings:
    • Make sure your domain is set up correctly. Verify that your primary domain is correctly configured in your Shopify settings.
  4. Clear Browser Cache:
    • Sometimes, SSL issues can be caused by cached data in your browser. Clear your browser cache and try accessing your store again.
  5. Check DNS Settings:
    • Verify that your DNS settings are correctly configured. Ensure that your domain is pointing to the correct IP address associated with your Shopify store.
  6. Contact Shopify Support:
    • If the SSL issue persists, contact Shopify support. They can help you troubleshoot and resolve the problem.
  7. Review Third-Party Apps:
    • Some third-party apps or custom code may interfere with SSL activation. Temporarily disable apps or custom code to see if the SSL issue is resolved.
  8. Check Shopify Status Page:
    • Visit the Shopify Status Page to check if there are any ongoing issues affecting SSL certificates. Shopify may provide updates on system status and known issues.
  9. Ensure HTTPS Links:
    • Make sure all links in your store, including images, stylesheets, and scripts, use “https://” instead of “http://”. Inconsistent linking can cause SSL issues.
  10. Renew SSL Certificate:
    • If your SSL certificate has expired, renew it. You can do this through your domain provider or Shopify, depending on where you purchased your domain.

Remember to always make backups and exercise caution when making changes to your store settings. If you’re unsure about any step, it’s advisable to seek assistance from Shopify support or consult with a technical expert.
