Not much a fan of web development but i thought id give it a shot.
I agreed to do my first commercial website for free for a young entrepreneur in Scotland. Just so theres little pressure and i can get the experience.

He wants an ecommerce site and weve both agreed paypal is the best solution.

MY question is this.

From what i understand, an ssl certificate embeds itself in your website and encrypts sensitive data like passwords, credit cards etc.

Is an ssl certificate necessary for a site that only uses paypal as a payment method?
( i chose paypal because ive no experience, might consider others later in life)

if theres any other information anyone thinks could be usefull i'd really appreciate it.

thanks for the quick reply. but this isnt what i asked. you just linked me to a site that sells shopping cart templates. theres nothing related to paypal or ssl in there.
