How to download your SSL certificate and zip archive contents
Once you have completed the purchase of your commercial SSL certificate, you can get it in two ways.

- once found, click on the domain name of the certificate you will enter the product page
- at the bottom of this page there is the appropriate button to download the certificate
Through the certified approval email
When the certificate is activated, a successful email will be sent to you from the system containing the attached zip with the certificate.
