Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates are generally obtained during a website's implementation phase, but they are subject to expiry and require regular renewal.
If your site's SSL Certificate is approaching expiration, you will need to commence the renewal process.

To renew a site's SSL Certificate:
- Contact Commerce Vision to request a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
- Provide the following information in support of the CSR:
- Company Name (CN)
- Organisation Unit (OU)
- Common Name (CN)
- Country (C)
- State or Province (S)
- City or Locality (L)
- Receive the CSR from Commerce Vision.
- Login to the Certificate provider's website (with the credentials used during original registration).
