Online Store: Why does my site show as 'not secure'?

I recently switched over to the new online store powered by Weebly. It was working fine, until I upgraded and added a custom domain (my website is hosted by Wix). The link works, but it is NOT SECURE and it has caused all of my products to state, "not accepting payments at this time." I tried switching back to the domain that Square automatically assigned to our Weebly store, but I cannot find an option that lets me do that. It says SSL is automatic, to give it some time and it will override, but it's been about 10 hours since I switched domains, and it is  still not working

Hey @tolgardgames-

 

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community. Really sorry to hear about this issue you've been experiencing.

 

Any change to the DNS settings can take 24-48 hours to update on the backend. You will also need to make sure the domain is properly pointed to our IP address, that there are no AAAA records, and that the SSL is enabled.

 

If you're using the Square Online Store, you can unpublish (from Website> General Settings) and then publish again from within the editor.

 

Let me know which of these suggestions/steps you've tried already. I look forward to hearing from you.

I just had the same problem and the Unpublish - re-publish sequence worked perfectly. I am using a custom domain from another host so I'm guessing the problem may have had to do with the sequence of events. Anyway, that worked!

I just launched my store, but for some reason when I post the link for others to see and then click it, a pop-up that says "Connection not private" appears.

How do I fix this?? My shop is dannimayshop.square.site

Did you ever get a direct response about this issue? This is the exact same issue I'm having with my site. None of these threads directly discuss the solution to resolving this issue.

Hi @Sashby3 Welcome to the Seller Community! 

 

The issue is most likely due to the site missing the SSL, or the SSL stuck on a re-issue. If you provide your site URL we can confirm this. 

 

If you have an original Weebly website, you can try to troubleshoot on your own by clicking Edit Site > Settings, then enabling the SSL. If it says it is already enabled, click disable, wait about 30 seconds, then click enable again.

Hi @vseabury  - I'm sorry to hear that this issue with your Square Site has brought you to the Seller Community😥

 

This does sound off, but it's difficult to pinpoint what may be happening without looking at your account with you, which we aren't able to do via the Seller Community. For this type of issue, I suggest that you get in touch with our Support Team. If you haven't already, please reach out to Support directly by logging into your Square account and heading here.

Hi @isabelle , I was sent here because I was having an issue similar to superchunk. I've tried the things you've suggested in the Best Answer post and am still having the problem with the "Connection Not Private" screen showing up. My online store isn't connected to a custom domain, and I've tried unpublishing and republishing my site.

My website keeps showing Not Secure on the browser. This is making it appear not to be safe for customers to shop. On some browser, it appears as page not found.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks

@isabelle I tried everything you suggested on here. After unpublishing and re-publishing the site, it still says Not Secure.

I have reset my domain and made sure that the IPV4 is pointing to my square shop, still says Not Secure.

I need help please. 

I have not been able to get any help and this has been going on for days. Customers are not confident to shop on my site because of this.
