2 quick questions for a newbie...

Hi all,

 

First question.

 

Is it possible for me to 'shut' the shop while I am building it? and once it is finished then 'open' it up for public use?

 

Second question.

 

I have installed my site ready to setup but do not have a secure server certificate. If I buy a secure certificate from my provider how do I tell OsC that it is now secure? Or can this only be done during the original setup?

 

In fact do I need a secure certificate if I am going to use paypal/google checkout to accept payments?

 

Thanks all, looking forward to using osc

First answer:

You can use this contribution available at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...rch,maintenance

 

Second answer:

Yes, you need SSL if you want to tell your cstomers that it's secure. You buy a secure certificate from your provider and ask them to install for you. Then you need to configure the SSL in /includes/configure.php file.

 

No, you can skip SSL if you not going to collect any data from your customers.
