How can I receive SSL Submissions?

Last Update: April 12, 2012


Secure or SSL forms are for secure communications between the client (i.e the end user of your form) & JotForms' servers. These communications are encrypted to prevent snooping by a 3rd party, and are useful if any of your forms contain sensitive information such as credit card or payment details or any other data of a personal nature.

It is very easy. Use a secure URL for your form:

1. Obtain the unique 11 digit JotForm ID of your form
 - There is a number of ways you can obtain this ID, one way is to Click on the Preview icon as shown below: 


The JotForm ID of this form is 12972052359

2. Append that number to the end of https://secure.jotform.com/form/

This makes the secure URL of my form https://secure.jotform.com/form/12972052359

That is all. Use that URL and your form will now communicate securely with SSL.

Note: If you don't have a secure webserver (i.e your website's address doesn't start with https) and you embed a secure form into the webpage, the end user's web browser will report the connection as not being entirely secure. In these instances, it may be better to provide a link to the form using its JotForm URL. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To automatically update all the different types of embed code to use a Secure form URL

Go to Setup & Embed > Embed Form
Choose Source then select the "Secure Form" check box



All the various embedding options will now be updated ready for use on your website.

If I don't have a https website, what do you mean when you say I can give a link to a secure form? Thanks.

I don't want to be emailed any of the information I collect with the form because it is sensitive data. I JUST want SSL encryption so I can securely download from the site. Will changing the address to https://... accomplish that? Also, where do I make this change?

@emccarron All you need to do is visit https://www.jotform.com and everything will be secure.

how can I changge back from secure submission to non-secure? I can't seem to make this work - it still uses up my secure submission quota despite apparently using a http, not https URL. thanks

just adding this in if it helps anyone, because I had problems with mine as well.... make sure you also change the word "form" to "www" in addition to adding the s to http.

so it should be https://www.jotform.com/111111111

instead of the code jotform gives you which is

http://form.jotform.com/111111111

Hi Jotform, is the SSL working fine? since the DDos attack, I get people saying that the form isn't showing, or the link has a cross through https, i have checked, and everything seems fine. this is quite important due to using payal pro. and folks entering credit card data on the form.

Thanks

I've embedded the SSL on my form. However, the graphic says, "Click to Verify" and it isn't linked. How and where can I link the graphic for verification?

Thank you,
