SSL is the standard for
secure transacNons on the Web. SSL encrypts data—such
as credit card numbers—as it travels between your
browser
and the site you are using. This prevents thieves
from stealing that data.
When you're on a page protected by SSL,
its URL begins with https://.
Your browser alone cannot secure the transacNon. The web site needs an SSL
cerNficate. The SSL cerNficate does two things. First, it encrypts the data
traveling
between the site and your browser. Second,
it helps to prove that the site
actually belongs to the person who claims to own it.
Obtaining
an SSL cerNficate is
beyond
the scope of this manual. However, many
hosNng services will add it to your account for
a fee. This means you can
just "upgrade" your service to
an SSL cerNficate.
You don't need to
decide on using SSL before installing Magento. You can
install
and configure your online store,
and then add SSL later.
Also, if you are using a third party such as PayPal, Authorize.net, or Google Checkout
to process
your payments, then payments
will happen on their web site and not yours. They will use their SSL cerNficate, and
you do not need it to protect your
customer's credit card accounts.
Give this some serious consideraNon. Using
SSL makes your site more secure.
It also might make some people more comfortable about buying from your
online store. SomeNmes an increase in trust leads to an increase
in business. Do your research,
and decide if the extra
expense is worth the potenNal increase in business.
