FAQs

Common Questions from South African Business Owners

Do I need SSL if I don't sell online?

Yes. Even informational websites collect data (contact forms, newsletter signups). Google also marks HTTP sites as "Not Secure" damaging your credibility with South African visitors.

Is SSL required for Paystack or Flutterwave?

Absolutely. Both payment gateways require HTTPS on your checkout pages. You cannot go live with payment processing on an unsecured HTTP website.

Can I pay for SSL in Rand?

Yes! We accept payment in South African Rand (ZAR) via bank transfer, EFT, and all major South African debit and credit cards — no international or dollar account needed.

What is the NDPC and why does it matter?

South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) enforces strict data privacy and security standards. Businesses that collect customer or user data without adequate protection such as SSL encryption may face penalties, compliance issues, and reputational damage under POPIA regulations.

How long does it take to get SSL in South Africa?

DV certificates are issued in minutes. OV typically takes 1–3 business days (CAC verification required). EV can take 3–7 business days for full legal verification.

Does one SSL cover all my subdomains?

A standard SSL covers one domain. If you need to secure subdomains (e.g., shop.yoursite.com.ng, mail.yoursite.com.ng), you need a Wildcard SSL certificate.
