How does the Business plan differ from the Pro plan?

The Business plan, made in partnership with Comodo, allows you to have the highest level of validation available on the internet.

Comodo has significant resources available to it for the validation of any entity throughout the world. The certificate that is provided is thus an Extended Validation SSL (EV) certificate.

In 2006, the Certification Authority Browser Forum, which groups together the major web browser suppliers and CCL Certification Authorities, adopted a set of standard practices to achieve the validation of certificates and thus increase transparency by allowing for the issuance of an Extended Validation SSL certificate.

Certification Authorities that provide such a certificate must be subject to audits.

When customers visit a website that has been secured by an Extended Validation SSL certificate, the web browser's address bar turns green and displays the name of the company that has been specified in the certificate, as well as the Certification Authority.

Both the web browser and the Certification Authority control this display, which makes phishing on your trademark difficult and protects your customers from counterfeits.

Your customers will therefore be habituated to seeing a green address bar before proceeding with checkout.
