Do I have to have an SSL Certificate for my Quick Shopping Cart?
If you plan to accept credit cards for transactions on your Quick Shopping Cart Website, either through a payment gateway or using a Point Of Sale (POS) credit card machine, then you must have an SSL Certificate for your Website. This is to ensure the security of your Website when handling your customers' personal and credit card information.
If you do not plan to accept credit cards through a payment gateway or using a POS, you do not have to have an SSL Certificate.
