The Google Trusted Stores program will be technically possible: Google (Whether you become a trusted store is still up to Google) [It is known as Google Certified Shops in the UK: https://www.google.co.uk/certifiedshops/)
This value-added service will be available for $199 set-up and $29/month (or the equivalent in your currency).
(The set-up fee includes the cost of the cert itself, which we will apply for on your behalf.)
We are currently collecting a list of interested customers, who will be the first to gain access to the service. Please reply to this topic if you would like to be on the list.
We’re happy to commit but I would have some reservations about being first cab off the rank given the potential for unwanted checkout and order issues.
I’d also need (if possible) reassurance that our 3rd party integration’s like SLI aren’t going to be adversely affected due to the encryption changes.
We have it ready to go on our side. We’re waiting on our Content Delivery Network provider (Akamai) to update images.nitrosell.com to be served over SSL. We had expected it to be quick but it now looks like it’ll be middle of August before they can deliver that change.
We are finalising SSL support this week. It will be ready for go live by next Wednesday.
For those of you who have expressed an interest, can you please confirm you’d like to go ahead on the basis of a $199 set-up fee and $29/month? (€179 set-up and €25/month in euro; £149 set-up and £20/month in GBP.)
We will open a ticket on your behalf and go from there.
Congrats @jessie, yours is the first non-test store to have SSL enabled!
As you can see, it’s as fast as ever and the entire site is being served over SSL, including the checkout: https://hostelshoppe.com/
For those of you on SSL, our search engine marketing team will be available to help you deploy Google Trusted Stores (US) and Google Trusted Shops (UK). If you are not already in touch with the SEM team, please open a ticket on this subject.
In fact, nearly all stores’ static content is being served from this secure URL;
This change also allowed us to increase the TTL on static content to 24 hours, which means browsers will cache it for longer, improving your site’s page speed for return visitors;
It also makes use of E-tags, meaning if the content has changed, browsers will see a changed E-tag and will refresh it (ensuring stale content isn’t served).]
As always, if you require further assistance, don’t hesitate to open a ticket with our support team.
Thank you, Donogh! I will get in touch with the SEM to get the Google Trusted Stores set up. The transition to the full SSL has gone very smoothly! I really appreciate the great customer service.
We switched to https on Friday evening and, to be honest, we thought we would have problems. Just the opposite, a smooth switchover, in fact had we not have received an email advising that the switch was about to happen I don’t think we would have noticed!
Thank you to all the team for making the switch such a simple task.
