# How to Verify SSL Certificate Installation

If you accept credit card payments directly through your website, you must have an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) installed.

How can I tell if my SSL is working?

There are a few things to check if you want to verify that your SSL is installed. You should also keep in mind that if you're still on a temporary servertrust address, the SSL will not be applied to your site until you go live on your domain name.

- If you visit your store Admin Area, you should see "https" and a padlock symbol in the browser address bar. This may appear differently depending on which browser youre using (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc.).
- If you click on the padlock, it should provide information about the SSL certificate and its expiration date.
- If you visit your store's One Page Checkout, you should see "https" and a padlock symbol (you will need to enable<https://helpcenter.volusion.com/experiment/config-variables?hsLang=en-us#general-variables>Full Secure Store URL if you do not see this).

 I have an SSL, but I still get "insecure content" warnings on some of my pages.

When your store's SSL certificate fails to encrypt all of the elements on a page (e.g. forms, textboxes, images, etc.), customers receive an "insecure content" pop-up message.

To resolve the error, all you need to do is find the elements on the page that cannot be encrypted and make some minor modifications.
