HTTPS Everywhere
Your IndieCommerce site currently encrypts all customer information and the checkout process. The next level of security is encrypting ALL pages. The biggest benefit to encrypting the entire site is the potential for better Google search rankings. It also insures customer privacy
The little green padlock that appears at the top of web browsers –the sign of an encrypted secure page – is reassuring to customers. Future versions of web browsers will increasingly highlight the padlock,to make website security more visible. If you are interested in helping us test "HTTPS Everywhere" across your entire website, please email [email protected].

Shipping Restriction Removed
A restriction in the IndieCommerce platform forced stores to have at least two possible shipping quotes for any given order. This restriction has now been removed. The default choice is now that an order can have only one shipping method allowed.
