Integrate SSL for WP eCommerce Checkout

  • I have a WordPress website using WP eCommerce to sell products. When a user is ready to pay they can choose either PayPal and eWay as payment methods. After the transaction has been processed I get a warning:

    ‘Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could be easily read by a third party.
    Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?’

    Of course my site doesnt have SSL in the first place, thats why I am sending users to PayPal/eWay. To stop this message from displaying the only way seems to be to get a SSL certificate for the server.

    So if I do that, how do I enable SSL only for the check-out part of the site? From my understanding SSL will be a separate server (using another IP). Do I need to split the check-out part of WP eCommerce or does the ‘Force users to use SSL’ option of the Store automatically switch to the SSL server for that part? Do I need to worry about the return URL’s with custom merchant plugins?
