  Apparently I should have a free SSL cert from wordpress according to wordpress however, our site doesn’t have a SSL cert from let’s encrypt, as a result we can use https connects, and its causing our organization to lose revenue

  Site: https://thestandfoundation.org.
  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Sites hosted here at WordPress.com benefit from free SSL. But your site isn’t hosted here. It is over there at IONOS and you’ll need to reach out to them for assistance.

  Hi there!

  Adding on to what themagicrobot said above, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. If you aren’t sure about the differences, please check the following page that explains it well: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

  In your case, you’d need to contact your hosting service provider to see if they have/offer free SSL certificates for sites hosted by them.

  Regards
