Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Shopify uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure all connections to our store.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an encryption protocol used to secure communications over the internet. TLS applies to all connections to Shopify. Shopify supports version TLS 1.2 and higher of the TLS protocol.

Even though TLS replaced the older SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, the terms TLS and SSL are still used interchangeably. In other words, an SSL certificate is really a TLS certificate.
