If you’re using the fantastic prestashop for your online e-commerce projects, you may have run into a few snags with SSL. Depending on your hosting, you should be able to upgrade to a private/dedicated IP and SSL certificate. I personally used JustHost and had no problems doing this, had my own SSL in about 5 hours.
If you’ve tried everything on the forums and are getting the ‘SSL certificate not verified error‘ , as I did to no avail, check what modules you’ve installed. Have you got adstuff?, or any other third party add on? If you have make sure any links within the module are set to https:// rather than http:// this fixed the issue for me. You’ll also need to turn off the ‘compatible with prestashop 1.1′ checkbox.
If possible try not to set all links from http:// to https:// as some people recommend because search engines won’t index your site in the same way. Bad seo = less sales!
Hope that helped someone!

Great advice. I dont know how many times I have to tell people the very same things. Glad I’m not the only one.

Ah!!! at last I found what I was looking for. Somtimes it takes so much effort to find even tiny useful piece of information.
Nice post. Thanks

So funny, I have spent 2 weeks in the code trying to figure this out, when in the end I only had to go to Preferences and check no on the “use ssl” question.
who knew?
