Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I've read pretty much everywhere that online store owners MUST have an SSL certificate to inspire customer trust. Sorry to be such a noob, but here are my questions: :) Question 1: I do not store any credit card information; all CC payments go through PayPal. With this in mind, is SSL still necessary? Question 2: I've seen SSL certificate pricing ranging from $30 (GoDaddy) to $350 (Verisign) for a year. Why the big difference? Question 3: How does one go about actually installing (or whatever) the SSL cert? Will I need to change any osCommerce preferences, redirect any pages, take the site down temporarily, etc.? Thanks!

Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.
