hey, I have created a site in zencart, i have integrated paypal with zencart but i would like to take credit cards now and i was wondering what security precautions am i going to have to take. If i purchase a ssl certificate will this be enough to protect me aswel as making sure zencart is up to date ?
Yes. SSL is a good method to protect your shopping site. Or you can setup a secondary payment processor like 2checkout . It will help you
