Google Merchant Center for Dummies?

Nope Authorize.net is just a payment gateway. You CAN get an SSL cert THROUGH them, but it actually COMES from Comodo (but they are REALLY high priced,.............. in my opinion!)

If you had SSL installed on your site, you would see "https://" instead of "http://" in the address bar and a "locked" lock (bottom right with FireFox, and right side of the address bar in IE) on your site.

Hope this helps.

Hmmmm

I'm a little confused. Are you saying that my site should be entirely HTTPS secured, or only the payment side? The load speed between HTTP and HTTPS is tremendous. ... and meaningless until checkout.

Thanks for the link to Comodo, but what buyer would know that it is 'name safe'? Average Joe would be clueless with that seal, but more 'safe' with a PayPal logo.

No, you don't want your whole site to be https.........just the areas that need to be (zen-cart will handle that.......once it's configured to use SSL).

Maybe you DO already have SSL and just don't have ZC configured to use it?

Log into your cPanel, click on "SSL/TLS Manager", then on "certificates (CRT)". It will tell you if there are no certificates installed on the server, or show you the details of your certificate (if there IS one installed). Then you'll know FOR SURE if you have SSL, or not.

Hope this helps.

I think I fixed it. This is my second cart. My other one is www.thedumbdog.com, and the SSL works on it. I don't know why I didn't have the correct SSL path on xcergy.com
Thanks for your help.
