Securing Shopware 6 with an SSL Certificate
Once you have fully set up the desired domain for your sales channel, you can apply for an SSL certificate for your store domain. You can choose between our commercial SSL certificates or a free certificate from the Let’s Encrypt certificate authority.
Setting Up a Let’s Encrypt Certificate
First, log in to the Plesk Control Panel via our Customer Center and navigate to your store domain.
In the Security category, select the SSL/TLS Certificates button.
Next, under the menu item “Free Basic Certificate from Let’s Encrypt”, select the Install button.
Enter your email address and select the options Protect domain name and Protect the www subdomain for the domain and all selected aliases.
Issuing a wildcard certificate requires regular updates to the DNS zone, so the certificate cannot be automatically renewed. Therefore, do not select this option.
Then click Use for Free to request the certificate and set it up automatically.
