ssl and paypal express checkout

Hi,

I'm going to be setting up zen cart site for use only over the course of a couple of weeks for a client. They've elected to use paypal express checkout, meaning no credit card transactions will actually take place on the client's server. My question is, if we're using this configuration, is there any need for my client to buy an ssl certificate? Thanks

Re: ssl and paypal express checkout

An SSL lends a lot of credibility to a website and the customers will feel better about inputting their information during checkout if the site is secure.

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.
