What is a geotrust SSL secure site certificate and do I need one?
[This applies only to people who are using their own domain and a merchant account like WPP or authorize… If you are using paypal standard then you do not need an SSL cert because payment processing occurs on paypal’s server which is using SSL] An SSL cert is a security seal that insures that your site meets the security standards required to do payment processing from your website. These certs/seals are managed by a small number of Internet security authorities like Geotrust.
