Enabling an SSL Certificate for Your Online Store
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. For information about obtaining an SSL certificate, see Adding an SSL Certificate to Your Online Store.
After you purchase an SSL certificate, enable it and apply it to your domain.
To Enable Your SSL Certificate
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
- On the Quick Shopping Cart page, click Open next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to modify.
- Using the Advanced Builder, from the Processing menu, select Payments.
- In the Accept Credit Cards section, click Attach an SSL to your storefront.
NOTE: If you have not purchased an SSL certificate, click "Buy an SSL certificate" and complete the purchase process. Then return to the Payments screen and follow this procedure to enable the certificate.
- From the list of available Standard SSL credits, click Enable next to the credit you want to apply to your domain. If you are applying a Deluxe or Premium SSL credit, click the initiate installation link.
