How long for SSL pending status to resolve on a new domain?

Topic summary

New Shopify domain connected; SSL status shows “Pending” and the site appears “Not Secure.”

Seeking how long issuance takes and whether the process can be accelerated before a launch deadline. Domain is stated to be purchased through Shopify.

Response: once the domain is successfully connected in Shopify admin, SSL is added within 24 hours; typically much faster (often within a few hours).

No acceleration method was provided beyond confirming successful connection.

Technical context: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enables HTTPS and the browser “Secure” indicator; “Pending” means the certificate is being issued.

Status: awaiting automatic SSL provisioning; expected timeframe is hours to a day; no confirmed resolution yet.

Hi there,

I’ve just bought a domain for my shopify store. The domain is now connected but SSL is still pending. Just wondering, how long does SSL Pending take and if there’s any way to accelerate this process as I need to meet my launch deadline? My website is www.thelashlook.store (it’s still showing as Not Secure) and my domain is with shopify.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Did you purchase the domain from Shopify or a third-party domain provider? Once the domain has been successfully connected to your Shopify admin the SSL will be added within 24 hours. Typically this process is much quicker and generally applies within a few hours.
