    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 = "

    “;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    // CHANGE THIS “EUR” IN THE CURRENCY OF YOUR PAYMENT
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    // IMPORTANT: FORCES PAYPAL TO RETURN USING $_POST INSTEAD OF $_GET!
    $txt .= “Enter here the amount to pay:“;
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    // TOTAL TO PAY
    $txt .= ‘
    ‘;
    $txt .= ““;
    return($txt);
    }
    ?>


    < ?php
    if (isset($_POST['mc_gross']))
    echo (process_payment());
    else if (!isset($_POST['submit']))// first time around
    echo (call_paypal());
    unset($_POST);
    ?>


    (change with its real form, stupid editor!)

    Check and see if Godaddy offers a shared ssl certificate. If they do, it’s available to all on the server for free.
