For example, a user who gets a trial SSL for a specific domain will not be able to get further trial SSLs for separate domains. Likewise, a different user will not be able to use a trial SSL on a domain that has been previously secured with a trial SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When trial period starts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the SSL status in your account switches to &#8220;Pending.&#8221; You have 30 days to pass domain validation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do payments work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t ask for any payment details upfront, so you\u2019re under no obligation to pay if you\u2019re not happy with the service. We\u2019ll send several email reminders about payment before trial period is up. We also recommend adding a reminder to your calendar, so you don\u2019t miss the date. Alternatively, you can pay right after SSL is issued if you\u2019re already feeling satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens when I pay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You continue to enjoy your secured site! You will have paid for the SSL period you selected at checkout, so you won\u2019t need to reissue or reinstall anything. However, if you chose an SSL period of longer than one year, it will need to be reactivated annually due to the SSL industry\u2019s&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssls.com\/blog\/apples-new-ssl-lifetime-limitation-and-what-it-means-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">lifetime limit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens if I don\u2019t pay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide not to pay, the SSL will be canceled once the 30-day trial period is up. If you installed the SSL on your site, web browsers might start to display an error when it loads. Make sure to remove the HTTPS redirect and\/or uninstall the SSL from your server(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I get a refund after the payment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trial SSLs have the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssls.com\/knowledgebase\/how-can-i-receive-refund\/\">refund policy<\/a> as regular ones. If your certificate was issued, you can get a refund within 15 days of your SSL status updating to &#8220;Issued&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing an SSL isn\u2019t always easy, whether you\u2019re a newbie or wanting to try something new.
