SSL Certificates

Ease of Use

Purchasing an SSL certificate shouldn't grind your entire business to a halt.

Purchasing a certificate with eWAY is an easy online 3 step process, with certificates issued in minutes. The online process is intuitive and makes sense - no techno mumbo jumbo - just helpful hints along the way.

The process to get your website secure, in order to protect your customers information, involves just 3 simple steps:

Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

This is a text file that is created through your Web Server software, that identifies the site that you wish to secure. You will need access to your Web Server to create this, or you may need your hosting company or web developers assistance. For specific information on generating your CSR, including the types of Web Server, please see the CSR Instructions .
Select your SSL and Purchase Online through eWAY

Once you have created your CSR, you are now able to select and purchase your SSL Certificate, through the eWAY shopping cart. Select your preferred SSL Certificate , the number of years you wish to purchase it for (the longer the period, the more you save), and then continue to the checkout. Make sure you also have access to either an administration email account at the domain (e.g. admin@domain.com, sysadmin@domain.com, root@domain.com, etc) you are purchasing the SSL for, or to the email address associated with the domain registration, as this will be needed to approve the purchase, and ensure that you have a right to use the domain name.
Install your SSL Certificate

Once you have completed the eWAY checkout process, and approved your SSL Certificate, you should receive your SSL via email. You will need to copy this out of the email, and install it as per the Installation Instructions for you specific Web Server type. Again, you will either need access to the Web Server yourself, or you may need assistance from your hosting company or web developer.
