Newly purchased Shopify domains showing “SSL pending” indicates the site’s HTTPS certificate isn’t fully issued/validated yet, so the secure connection isn’t active. DNS changes (domain system updates) can take up to 48 hours to propagate across the internet.
Recommended steps:
Recent update: A user with ranbrosllc.com reported SSL pending for over 5 days and shared a screenshot of DNS records. A Shopify staff member checked and confirmed the SSL certificate had loaded; the user confirmed it’s resolved.
Ongoing issues: Other users (lumisgirl.com and aventois.com via GoDaddy) report SSL still pending and requested help. One reply offered unrelated UX/theme assistance.
Outcome: Partial resolution (ranbrosllc.com fixed). The discussion remains open for other domains with pending SSL and may require verification, waiting for DNS propagation, or support intervention.

Hi, @stonesdumaroc !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
Great job on purchasing your domain! This is an excellent way to make your brand more market-friendly and can drive more traffic to your shop. I understand that you are currently in the process of setting up your domain and have some concerns. To provide some context, if your SSL certificate is pending, it means that the secure connection between your online store and your customers’ browsers is not fully established.
To address this, ensure that you have properly verified ownership of your domain. You will also need to consider that it can take some time for DNS changes to propagate across the internet. This propagation period can last 48 hours. It’s important to be patient and wait for the changes to take effect. During this time, you can continue to monitor the status in the Settings > Domain section of your admin.
If you are still having issues, we’d be happy to continue assisting you through the available contact methods in our Help Center. If you see the chat assistant, you can ask to contact support and it’ll guide you with your next steps on how to connect with a team member. Once you get in touch with support, we will be able to take a closer look.

Hey there @ranbrsollc
I took a look at the domain https://ranbrosllc.com and it appears that the SSL certificate has since loaded. Are you still seeing an error in your admin? What about on the customer facing site?
