Customers who visit your web site will not make a purchase if you do not offer a way to protect their personal information during the transaction. Having a secure web site builds your credibility as well as trust for your visitors.

In order to accept online orders using a credit card with our eCommerce Elite package, you must purchase a SSL Certificate. An SSL Certificate shows your visitors that you are serious about transfering their personal information and credit card data over the Internet. The certificate enables the encryption of sensitive information during online transactions by your customers. Even if you only plan on using eCommerce Elite to simply show your product catalog on your web site and not process customer orders, you may still need a SSL certificate if you offer a login or sign in on your site. Certain security and privacy policies may require you to purchase a certificate as well.

Because all SSL Certificates are not the same, we will work with you to define what your requirements are and then help you choose and purchase the one that best meets your needs. Since variables such as the encryption level and warranty may differ per client and we can recommend which certificate authority will work best for your ecommerce site.

Typical yearly pricing ranges from $150 to $400 depending on which vendor is selected. Renewal rates usually provide a small costs savings as does purchasing the certificate for multiple years at once.
