Adding an SSL Certificate to Quick Shopping Cart
Here's the Lowdown: If you accept credit cards for transactions on your Quick Shopping Cart storefront, either through a payment gateway or using a Point Of Sale (POS) credit card machine, you must apply an SSL certificate to your domain. This certificate ensures the security of your website when handling your customers' personal and credit card information.
You can add an SSL Certificate to your Website at any time, even if your domain name is hosted elsewhere.
To Add an SSL Certificate to Your Quick Shopping Cart
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
- In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click Open for the account you want to work with.
- From the Set Up menu, click Payment Options.
- If you don't have a certificate, click To buy an SSL certificate, click here.
- If you do have a certificate, click Attach an SSL to your storefront and follow the prompts.
- When the certificate is issued, we send you an email and install it for you.
- After we install the certificate, you'll need to publish your Website. The SSL is not fully installed until after the Website is published.
NOTE: The SSL is used during the checkout process when sensitive data is being transmitted. It is not used while browsing the storefront as sensitive data is not being transmitted.
If you do not already have Secure Certificate Credits, you may purchase a credit. Once you have a Secure Certificate Credit, on the Secure Certificates page, follow the instructions to complete your online application.
