If you insert custom HTML into your checkout pages that reference images or other files, you will need to make sure that any images/files are referenced from a secure URL (https). If you do not use a secure URL, shoppers may get warnings that the site contains both secure and insecure data. Receiving such warnings may cause shoppers to question the security of your checkout process and they may abandon their order for fear of having their personal or financial data mishandled.
Preferred method
The preferred method for both Merchant Solutions and Store v.1 merchants is to upload files to the Store Files section, which allows for creating a Secure URL for the file.
