We want to make your Shop safer and faster. If you have integrated your Spreadshops with Javascript, you will no longer be able to have access through the HTTP protocol. Access to your Shop will need to be established through HTTPS.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why are we switching to HTTPS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We want to make our entire platform more secure while improving the loading times of your Spreadshop. We\u2019ll achieve this by adding all Spreadshirt and Spreadshop domains to the so-called “HSTS preload list<\/a>“. This concerns your Shop as it is run on a Spreadshirt domain.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to get that little bit technical when explaining why we are doing this. Apologies! We\u2019ve been redirecting website requests on our own servers from HTTP to HTTPS in the past. For technical reasons, we had to include a CORS-Header while redirecting HTTP to HTTPS on the server. This was necessary to make Javascript work in integrated shops. The CORS headers won\u2019t be available anymore after the switch, meaning all Shops integrated with Javascript that use HTTP will no longer function properly.<\/p>\n

This is why it is necessary that all Shops integrated with Javascript change their protocol from HTTP to HTTPS.<\/p>\n

What do I have to do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve integrated your Shop in your WordPress website by means of a the Spreadshop plugin, all you need to do is update the plugin<\/a>. If you\u2019ve integrated your Shop with Javascript, simply replace the old code with the new one directly on your website:<\/p>\n

Old code:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
<p>\r\n   <script type=\"94b6ffd88c5658e95d03a9ec-text\/javascript\">\r\n      var spread_shop_config = {\r\n         shopName: 'SpreadShop',\r\n         locale: 'us_US',\r\n         prefix: 'link to shop',\r\n         baseId: 'myShop'\r\n      };\r\n   <\/script>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p> \r\n   <script type=\"94b6ffd88c5658e95d03a9ec-text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/shop.spreadshirt.com\/shopfiles\/shopclient\/shopclient.nocache.js\"><\/script>\r\n<\/p><\/pre>\n
New code:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
<p>\r\n   <script type=\"94b6ffd88c5658e95d03a9ec-text\/javascript\">\r\n      var spread_shop_config = {\r\n         shopName: 'SpreadShop',\r\n         locale: 'us_US',\r\n         prefix: 'link to shop',\r\n         baseId: 'myShop'\r\n      };\r\n   <\/script>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n   <script type=\"94b6ffd88c5658e95d03a9ec-text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.spreadshirt.com\/shopfiles\/shopclient\/shopclient.nocache.js\"><\/script>\r\n<\/p><\/pre>\n
This is easy<\/span><\/h2>\n
All you need to do is add an “https:” in front of the Shop URL to set up your Shop for the future. Please note that there are two places where “https:” needs to be added:<\/p>\n
