Order Secure Site Pro EV SSL
POST https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/ssl_ev_securesite_pro
Use this endpoint to request or renew a Secure Site Pro EV SSL certificate. To renew a certificate, you must place the request from the same account used to order the original certificate.
Public TLS/SSL certificates support Multi-year Plans. With Multi-year Plans, you pick the SSL/TLS certificate, the certificate validity period, and the duration of coverage you want. To order a Multi-year Plan with this endpoint, use the order_validity
object to set the validity period of the order (up to three years). Optionally, use the certificate.cert_validity
parameter to customize the validity of the first certificate issued for the order. For more information, see Multi-year Plans.
Warning
End of 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans
On October 31, 2023, DigiCert will no longer sell 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans for TLS and VMC certificates. We will continue to offer 1, 2, and 3-year Multi-year Plans. For more information, see End of 4- to 6-year Multi-year Plans.
Notice
Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) and Flat Fee contracts only support 1- and 2-year Multi-year Plans.
