Update site seal settings

PUT https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/{{order_id}}/site-seal

Use this endpoint to update the settings for a site seal.

DigiCert Smart Seal

Secure Site and Secure Site Pro SSL/TLS certificates support the option to display a DigiCert Smart Seal on your website. The DigiCert Smart Seal is enabled for Secure Site and Secure Site Pro certificates when the seal_number parameter is set to a value of 18. To switch to a basic site seal, set the seal_number parameter to a value of 16 (GeoTrust) or 17 (Thawte).

Updating your site seal

Some modifications, such as changing the size of the site seal, do not require you to reinstall the site seal code.* Changes automatically appear within two hours of submitting the update. However, if you modify the hover effect, you must reinstall the site seal code for those changes to take effect on your website.

Hover effect modifications include:

  • Enabling or disabling the Smart Seal hover effect (seal_hover).

  • Using the Smart Seal with the hover effect enabled, and then switching to a basic site seal (see DigiCert Smart Seal above).

Note

*On March 25, 2021, DigiCert improved how CertCentral stores your site seal settings. Now, you can update most of the settings for your site seal without replacing the site seal code on your website (see Updating your site seal). This change affects all site seal codes you receive and implement after March 25, 2021.

For codes you received and implemented before March 25, 2021:

If you don’t change the settings for your site seal:

  • No action is required.

  • Your existing site seal code will continue to work as expected.

If you update the settings for your site seal via CertCentral or the Services API:

  • You must replace the site seal code on your website for those changes to appear.

  • After you replace the seal code on your website, you can update the settings for the seal by changing those settings within CertCentral, or by using the Update site seal endpoint.

Changes may take up to two hours to appear on websites that use the new seal code.
