SSL Certificate required?

[Burty]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

So are you saying that the Merchants requirments for us to have SSL may differ?

And when you talk about in general, you refer to potential customers having confidence?

Sorry to be a pain, I just want to make sure I fully understand.

Once again thanks...

Most, if not all on-site payments processors require SSL. Even if they don't, you should have one to present your store to visitors as secure.

kobra is right, best 10 bucks you can ever spend on your store!

Shopper confidence is everything.

Case in point...

We had a client who doggedly refused to install a SSL Cert.

For 6 months, cart abandonment was at over 80% !

Eventually we persuaded her to put in a cert. Cart abandonment went down to about 35% almost overnight.

Webshoppers now know the purpose and value of SSL.

No serious eComm site should be without it - and it is PREFERABLE to have a dedicated SSL - not shared.
