Update: Do not purchase Extended Validation Certificates in 2019

At this point, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari do not provide additional information for EV Certificates, you should stick with either free SSL Certs through ACM or Let’s Encrypt

We wanted to add an Extended Validation SSL Certificate on our website to give our customers an additional sense of security while using the app and making purchases on our site. An extended validation certificate provides the nice green bar with your company name in addition to the standard green lock graphic that appears on typical SSL enabled sites. The extended validation process usually requires your company to go through a process with the issuer (GoDaddy in our case) in which you provide documentation for your business like formation documents, tax documents, and other requested info. It can take up to a week or two to get everything verified before the certificate is issued if you don’t have all the requested documents immediately available.
