You do NOT need SSL, unles you are a bank or have a real merchant account.
SSL requires certification, which is a lot of paper work and quite expensive (to renew every year as well!)
If you want to sell anything, just use PayPal in its simple form. You don’t ned to ask private data from any of your customer (NEVER do that, unless you are certified).
Here is a simple piece of code:
< ?php
function process_payment()
{
if ($_POST['payment_status'] == "Completed")
return("Thank you for your payment of ".$_POST['mc_gross']." ".$_POST['mc_currency']);
else
return("Sorry, payment failed.");
}
function call_paypal()
{
$PPbusiness = "my_paypal@yahoo.com"; // YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT
$PPreturn = "http://www.yoursite.com/paypal.php"; // ENTER THE FULL URL OF YOUR SITE
$PPcancel = "http://www.yoursite.com/paypal.php"; // ENTER THE FULL URL OF YOUR SITE
$Sess = "your session number or anything you want to get back";
$txt = "
Check and see if Godaddy offers a shared ssl certificate. If they do, it’s available to all on the server for free.
