Do you need SSL if using e junkie and paypal?

5 replies
Hey everyone, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Quick question before the festivities begin. I have written an ebook and at the advice of a few warriors I have given away the first 4 chapters as a gift to opt-in to my list. I now want to sell the full version on my site and was going to set up with pay pal and e junkie to do this. Do I also need SSL for my site or is that taken care of through e junkie? I googled but found conflicting information and want to make sure I do everything right.

    You don't need ssl for paypal to work.

    You might want to send in a ticket to ejunkie and get information from the horses mouth.

    Normally, while transferring any sensitive information in concern of online buying and selling then you should always aware with SSL certificates security.

    Usually, SSL certificates includes two different types such as Domain Validate and Organization Validation SSL certificates. If organization using EV SSL certificate then it will more secure than Domain validation SSL certificates.

    Online stores also use WildCard SSL certificate security which secure entire web site pages including their sub domains.

    Generally, If you are selling or else taking sensitive / personal information from users such as bank wire details, pay pal, and credit card details, then you must have SSL certificate on your web site.

    However, SSL certificate also will help you to create trust and confidence within user to shop from your web site without any fear.

    I hope that SSL certificate aid your web site to raise the secure online business environment. Wish You Good Luck!

    The transaction through PayPal is protected by PayPal's SSL.

    The download through E-Junkie is protected by E-Junkie's SSL.

    You may have something else on your site that needs SSL, but if the product is simply bought through PayPal and downloaded through E-Junkie, you're covered and everything is fine.
