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: <html> <head> <?php function process_payment() { if ($_POST['payment_status'] == "Completed") return("Thank you for your payment of ".$_POST['mc_gross']."

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:
