Magento

Merchants who accept credit cards are required by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to process transactions over a securely encrypted channel. An SSL certificate verifies that all transactions take place over the encrypted secure socket layer (SSL). The secure session is established when the customer begins the checkout process, or whenever other sensitive information is shared. During the secure transaction, a padlock icon appears in the address bar of your browser, and the URL prefix changes from http:// to https://.

You must have a custom domain before you can purchase a custom security certificate for your store.

Here’s how…

To purchase the SSL certificate:

1. Log in to your Magento account.

2. From your account dashboard, in the My Magento Go Stores section, find the listing for your store and click the Purchase SSL button.
