What can the SSL.com Reseller and Volume Purchasing program do for me?

• Purchase multiple certificates easily and with significant discounts.
• Issue discounted certificates in bulk with an Enterprise PKI (EPKI) agreement.
• View real-time processing status information of each certificate.

… and perform a host of other administrative functions as well with SSL.com’s state-of-the-art customer account portal.

How does the Reseller and Volume Purchasing program work?

Any existing SSL.com customer account can upgrade to enroll in our Reseller and Volume Purchasing program, or you can create a new account from scratch.

Customers are organized into pricing tiers based on the needs of organizations of different sizes. Each tier requires an initial deposit that can be used toward purchasing certificates at a discount:

It’s important to know that your initial deposit does not need to be maintained – you will continue receiving the discount you signed up for after spending your deposit. For example, if you deposit $5,000 to join tier 4, you will keep getting a 30% discount on certificates after that $5,000 has been spent.

As your purchasing volume increases you may escalate into a higher tier at any time, resulting in lowered costs for volume purchasers and increased profitability for resellers. These brackets are suitable for organizations of all sizes – from independent consultants to government institutions to globally based hosting companies, there’s a fit for everyone.

Sounds great – what’s the catch?

There is no catch! SSL.com wants you to do well at what you do, and we can help by doing what we do best – providing you and your customers the security that comes from SSL.com certificates.

Great – but do you have an API?

As it so happens, yes! Participants in the Reseller and Volume Purchasing program can also utilize our exclusive SSL Web Services (SWS) API. Write your own custom scripts to automate processes like ordering, validation and rekeying, or to extract information to help you examine and manage your account! Use of the SWS API is free for our Reseller and Volume Purchasing partners. Learn more about the SWS API.
