SSL Certificates

SSL encrypts any information sent between your customers web browser and your LiquidShop, preventing it from being read as it is sent between the two across the internet.

The abbreviation SSL stands for secure sockets layer and this is often used when a site requests particular information from a visitor like a password or credit card information. You can tell when you connecting via SSL, most browsers will highlight a padlock to indicate a secure connection, this is usually displayed in the address bar. Another indication of a secure connection is the URL (address), usually the address will start with http://, if a secure connection is used this will be https://.

If you opt for a SSL Certificate with your LiquidShop, you will be able to make use of server payments, the benefit of this is that the customers will not appear to leave your site to make payment as the payment fields is called into your site within your header and footer.
