juaroal Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi, guys!I phoned my hosting service in order to activate the SSL certificate and I have to pay 140€. It is essential? I mean, I have my credit card payment module and It has it's own SSL certificate. Why do I need the SSL certificate in prestashop?Thanks in advance!Regards!

bellini13 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 You are capturing sensitive information that can be intercepted between your customers browser and your server, then you need to use an SSL certificate. This will allow for the encryption of data as it is exchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you need a dedicated SSL many times a Shared SSL Cert will do just fine. You should look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
