If PayPal only do I need SSL ?

With all this site security worry I am planning on dropping credit card info collection.

Do I need SSL if I only plan on accepting PayPal ?

If you are planning on having external gateways like paypal you don’t need ssl because you are not going to store any CC information.

Thanks E.

Good luck with whatever enterprise you have.

I would disagree, customers want to see security and you are still proccessing PRIVATE data on your website ie email, phone Nos, addresses etc.

The question was if ssl was needed, wich in fact it is not. Now, if it is desirable is another thing…

Would agree with that. Was only indicating the possible need.

I agree with E



if paypal only, you need not use SSL cert.



But I still bought one for the further hosted gateway. :slight_smile:

Try it without and you will soon find that your customers want even their basic infomation secured.

You need SSL for basic information.
