The problem

For freemium or subscription-based SaaS, the payment gateway is the most critical component for revenue generation. An expired SSL certificate on your checkout page, subscription upgrade portal, or integrated payment processor (like Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee) will immediately trigger browser security warnings. This directly prevents users from completing purchases, upgrading subscriptions, or renewing services, leading to an immediate and measurable halt in revenue. The financial impact can be devastating, even for a short period.

Imagine a high-traffic weekend where numerous users attempt to upgrade from your freemium tier, but are met with 'Your connection is not private' messages on the payment page. Each frustrated user represents lost revenue and a potential churned customer. This issue isn't just a technical glitch; it's a direct assault on your business model. Manually checking certificate expiry across multiple payment integration points is impractical and highly susceptible to human error.

Frequently asked questions

Can Certfly monitor embedded payment forms or iframe-based checkouts?

Certfly monitors the domain of the page hosting the payment form or iframe. If the iframe content is from a third-party payment provider, you'd monitor the domain of that provider directly if it's a custom domain.

How does Certfly handle different payment gateways like Stripe, Paddle, or Braintree?

Certfly monitors the SSL certificate of the specific domain or subdomain used for your integration with any payment gateway. As long as it's a publicly accessible endpoint, Certfly can track it.

What's the best practice for setting up alerts for billing infrastructure?

We recommend setting up multiple alert contacts for billing-critical domains, including billing operations, finance, and engineering teams. Configure alerts for 30, 14, and 7 days out, plus immediate expiration notices, to ensure maximum lead time.
