SSL certificates for online stores
Sectigo, DigiCert, Thawte and GeoTrust certificates for shops that take payments. With OV and EV the certificate authority checks your company against public registers and writes the result into the certificate itself.
- Your company is verified The certificate authority checks the legal name, registration number and address, and puts them in the certificate.
- Warranty from the certificate authority Each certificate carries the authority’s relying-party warranty, paid to the party who relied on a mis-issued certificate.
- Trusted everywhere The roots ship with current browsers, phones and operating systems, so no visitor sees a warning.
- DV in minutes, EV in 7–10 days A DV certificate is issued within minutes. OV takes 2–3 working days and EV 7–10 days, the figures our product pages quote.
- CA/Browser Forum LeaderTelecom is an Interested Party of the CA/Browser Forum.
Certificates for online stores
Every certificate here encrypts the same way. They differ in how much of your company the certificate authority checks before it issues, and in the warranty that comes with it.

DV, OV and EV for a shop
All three protect the connection in exactly the same way. They differ in how much of your company the certificate authority checks before it issues, and in how long that takes.
| What differs | DV | OV | EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encryption | Identical | Identical | Identical |
| What the authority checks | Control of the domain | The domain and that the company exists | The domain and the company, under CA/Browser Forum rules |
| Company details in the certificate | None | Legal name and address | Legal name, address and registration number |
| Documents you provide | None | Company registration | Company registration and confirmation of the request |
| Time to issue | Minutes | 2–3 working days | 7–10 days |
| For a shop | Test and staging sites | A shop that wants its company named in the certificate | A shop that wants the deepest check on record |

What PCI DSS asks of a shop
If your shop takes card payments, your acquiring bank holds you to PCI DSS 4.0.1. Two of its requirements meet on this page, and they are separate obligations.
- Requirement 4.2.1 — the certificate protecting card data in transit has to be trusted, valid and not revoked. A certificate from this page does that.
- Requirement 11.3.2 — an external scan by an Approved Scanning Vendor at least every three months, repeated until it passes. A certificate does not cover this.
Which self-assessment questionnaire applies to your shop is decided by your acquiring bank.

Questions shops ask
Which certificate does my shop need?
DV proves only that you control the domain. OV and EV also put your checked company into the certificate. A shop that takes payments is normally on OV or EV.
Will my company name be shown in the browser?
No. Browsers removed that indicator in 2019, and in 2023 Chrome replaced the lock icon with a settings icon. The verified details live in the certificate, which anyone can open from the site information panel.
Does a certificate settle PCI DSS for my shop?
No. PCI DSS 4.0.1 asks for a trusted, valid certificate under Requirement 4.2.1 and, separately, a scan by an Approved Scanning Vendor every three months under Requirement 11.3.2.
How long does issuing take?
A DV certificate is issued within minutes. OV takes 2–3 working days and EV 7–10 days, counted from the moment the certificate authority has your documents.
How long will the certificate stay valid?
Certificate lifetimes are shrinking by CA/Browser Forum ballot SC-081v3: at most 200 days for certificates issued from 15 March 2026, 100 days from 15 March 2027 and 47 days from 15 March 2029.
Can I use it on Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento?
Shopify issues its own certificates and does not accept third-party ones. On WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or your own hosting you install the certificate yourself.
I run several shop domains. One certificate or several?
A multi-domain certificate covers several names at once; separate certificates are simpler to move between servers. We help you compare the two for your list of domains.
Who is the warranty for?
The certificate authority pays it to the party who relied on a certificate it mis-issued, not to the certificate holder. Treat it as a measure of the authority’s confidence, not as insurance for your shop.
