    Default Is SSL required?

    Hey guys,
    I'm new to the shopping cart world, so excuse what may be perceived as ignorance. My question concerns SSL. Is it required to have a successful, secure shopping cart? The zen cart installation documentation didn't make it seem like it was a mandatory addition. Also, I'm using Network Solutions, and I've been reading that they have problems with SSL setup. Please give me some good info on these concerns. Thanks in advance.

    SSL is only required when you use things like authnet linkpoint or paypal express, however it is recommended to secure your customers details, most people wont enter private details into a non secure site

    So if you're only using online credit card payments, SSL is not required? I understand that its recommended.

    if you are not using ssl then I cant think of a single soul that will put their CC information in the blocks,

    No its not REQUIRED but since the price of an ssl is Cheap you need to consider is the small savings (Less than $70 a year ) worth the lost income?

    Understood. Thanks.

    Now, do you have any info on Network Solutions issues with SSL? I've read a few posts to this effect.

    I must refrain from issuing comments on this issue, the best I can do is suggest that you search the forum for ssl and network solutions

    I've looked at a few other posts concerning this issue, and it seems that the major issue is that the entire site has to be run under SSL with Net Sol. Please explain why this is not desireable. Again... I'm new to this subject. Thanks.

    Merlinpa,
    I've called NetSol and they were adamant that I could configure zen cart in a way that the entire site is not secured. Is this not your experience?

    Search the forum for Network Solutions.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.
