Not enabling security on website when accepting PayPal
| Posted by usmanz, 03-11-2014, 08:25 PM |
| I want to accept credit card payments through PayPal on my site.
My assumption is that I won't be needing any SSL or encryption on my site as customers will be entering their payment information on PayPal's website. Is that correct?
-Thanks.

| Is it something like a PayPal checkout image on your website or are you integrating with any software? Personally I don't think it's worth the risk in this day and age, I'd probably set up some encryption anyway -- at least to give your customers some added peace of mind.

| Thanks.
I haven't tested Paypal's system yet but I know I won't be integrating their payment method with any software. I am only trying to know if using Paypal's default credit card accepting form works on their site or is it something displayed on my site. I couldn't test it as I will need to modify my Paypal account so I want to know about security before I try that.

| It would be redirected to paypals site for the transaction completion.

| Even though an SSL is not required.. it doesn't hurt to have one just incase and will most likely increase business as all shiny things on a website look good

| Even if customers are not entering credit card information on your website, I recommend you to use SSL for your website.
