An SSL certificate enables secure HTTPS traffic for your online store and website. It ensures that data is transmitted in encrypted form between the customer and the website. In addition, HTTPS websites often rank better in search results, which can reduce the cost of paid advertising. The lock icon visible in the browser address bar creates a trustworthy impression for visitors.
An SSL certificate is especially important for payment transactions, as login credentials and credit card information must be kept secure. Most payment services automatically protect the connection, and the online store itself often does not process credit card data directly. However, this does not eliminate the need to protect other customer and order-related information with SSL encryption.
EV certificates are used by government organizations, companies, associations, foundations, and partnerships. The application process takes approximately 10 days, and the certificate is issued only after the applicant’s right to the website has been verified. The issuing authority also carefully reviews the background of the organization. The requirements for issuing EV certificates are defined in the EV guidelines and are verified before the certificate is granted:
The legal, physical, and operational existence of the entity must be verified
The identity of the entity must match official registry records
The entity must have exclusive control over the website for which the EV certificate is requested
The entity must approve the issuance of the EV certificate
With this certificate, visitors can see the organization’s name in the browser’s address bar.

Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificates are issued only after the certificate authority has verified the applicant’s right to the requested domain. In addition, the certificate authority verifies the existence and legitimacy of the organization at a predefined verification level. Information about the organization that received the OV certificate can be viewed as proof of certification by clicking the lock icon in the browser address bar. This provides buyers and website users with clear additional security and assurance that they are dealing with the correct and trustworthy party when using the website. The application process for an OV certificate usually takes a few days, but if all required documentation is provided to the certificate authority during the application, the certificate may be issued within 24 hours.
A Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificate is issued once the certificate authority has verified that the applicant has control over the requested domain. With DV certificates, the organization’s existence or background is not verified, and therefore no organization details are displayed through the browser lock icon. The advantage of DV certificates is their fast issuance process, as a certificate can sometimes be issued in as little as about 15 minutes.
Standard DV and EV certificates protect only one domain at a time, such as www.domain.com or the same address without the www prefix, domain.com. Wildcard certificates can protect one main domain and multiple subdomains, such as domain.com, online.domain.com, mail.domain.com, or imap.domain.com. The number of subdomains protected by wildcard SSL certificates is typically unlimited. In addition, multi-domain certificates are available, allowing multiple different domains to be protected with a single certificate, such as domain25.com, domain30.com, and domain-abg.com. Depending on the certificate, a single multi-domain certificate can protect up to 100 different domains.
SSL encrypts data transfer between your website and visitors, preventing anyone from accessing credit card information or other confidential data entered on your site.
Using online services requires that customers can trust the service provider. Some ways to enhance security and the perception of safety include using a secure connection (SSL).
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) means optimizing a website for both users and search engines (like Google). Practically speaking, a more accurate term would be Google optimization.
