Hi
Im back with one of my questions....
My site is nearly done,, but one of the last things I want to add to my site is a shop component like VM and a jobs submission form ( custom built) that takes credit card info, paypal, etc etc...
I have never delt with these things before and I am on the fast track to learn
so I start here;
Question, if I have my site is at >
www.domain.com
< without SSL do I then use a subdomain with security that my shoppers are sent to from my main domain?? in other words do I install VM in a subdomain using the same Database as my main site?
or
should SSL / htps be applied to my main site and can just the cart page at checkout be secured with these services??
am I making any sense ? or do I really need to go learn a lot more before I ask questions
Normally you activate SSL which is mapped to the primary domain. In VM there is a setting for the secure server, which is used once the checkout process starts.
