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 Web site when handling your customers' personal and credit card information.

You can add an SSL Certificate to your site at any time, even if your domain name is hosted elsewhere.

To Add an SSL Certificate to Your Quick Shopping Cart

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
  3. In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click the name of the account to which you want to add an SSL Certificate.
  4. In the Account Details panel, click the Add Certificate hyperlink.

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.
