quick question SSL

Hi,

I have just installed oscommerce on a fasthosts server with mysql. At the moment I do not have SSL set up on the server and hence chose no to this option during the oscommerce setup.

My question is is it ok to accect payments through my current oscommerce setup or do I need to install SSL first?

 

p.s. I have not set up or signed onto any payment gateways yet. Which is the best supported payment system to go with? I heard authorize.net was good?

thanks

If you don't use SSL PayPal is a good choice. You really should use SSL if possible because many people don't want to list their name, address and phone number on an unsecured site.

thanks for the replies,

I looked at some of the gateways. If using oscommerce, then I am assuming you dont need to use any of their own shopping carts as oscommerce has its own built in.

 

I have no idea where to get started implementing a payment gateway. I have a merchant account, so the next step is to get registered with one of the payment gateways, but dont know. can anyone recomend one?

 

also are there any specific online guides to connecting oscommerce to a payment gateway, and is it quite simple to do?

thanks
