    Hi there:

    We are unable to help because we don’t host your site directly on our WordPress.com managed hosting. Instead, your site is hosted with a different provider on a separate host, and we’re unable to access your site’s backend to take a closer look. But I can get you pointed in the right direction.

    A “your connection is not private” message indicates you don’t have an SSL certificate on your website – meaning your site traffic is loading under an insecure HTTP protocol. Since you’re trying to set up an online store, to offer secure payment you need to add an SSL certificate to your site so your traffic loads under a secure HTTPS protocol.

    You can reach out to your host HostGator for help in adding that certificate to your site.

    If you still have trouble, please reach out to the WordPress community for guidance:

    I hope that helps!
