Gain your customers' trust through SSL Security.
As an online merchant, you’re responsible for securing customers’ personal and financial
information when they buy from your store. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology
protects your website and makes it easy for customers to trust you. An SSL Certificate
enables encryption of sensitive information during online transactions, so it’s
a must-have for any online store that accepts online orders and credit cards.
Depending on your business, you have a few options to keep your store secure:
- Use a service bureau or third party to process payments: For example, use PayPal®
integration offered with our eStore Builder plan. Sensitive information is handled
entirely by PayPal, which is responsible for its security, so you don’t need to
purchase or implement anything additional on your site.
- Obtain an eCommerce merchant account and use the shared digital certificate supplied
by Web.com® : This option comes with all our DIY and Custom Build Site Builder
plans. This approach is less costly than purchasing a separate digital certificate
for your site and still allows you to display a VeriSign® Seal, ensuring shoppers
your site is protected.
- Set up an eCommerce merchant account and obtain your own digital certificate that
is unique to your website: Web.com provides a thawte Certificate at no additional
charge all with our eCommerce Advanced Linux and Windows Hosting plans.
