Purpose:
To explain the purpose of an SSL certificate.
Solution:
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is an electronic key that encrypts transmissions between two computers on a public network, providing privacy and security while an ecommerce customer shops in your store.
Think of an SSL certificate as an electronic ID card. From the customer's perspective, an SSL certificate assures a customer that they are dealing with a legitimate business. From a technical perspective, SSL certificates are used for secure e-commerce communications, protecting information such as credit card numbers and personal data.
How do I purchase an SSL certificate for my NRO store?

.
I already have an SSL certificate from my other site. Can I use this SSL certificate for my NRO store?
Certificates purchased by companies or individuals other than NCR cannot be transferred to our servers. SSL certificates are domain and server specific and cannot be transferred to a different domain or outside of the NRO environment.
I don't sell anything in my NRO store. Why do I need an SSL certificate?
If you wish to replace the NRO domain with your own domain, an SSL certificate will be required. Web browsers (customers) can build accounts through your store, and that data needs to be protected.
When will my domain be used for my NRO store?
After the SSL certificate is installed, we'll send you instructions about how to point your domain to your NRO store.
When will I be able to view statistics about my NRO store?
After the SSL certificate is installed, you'll receive instructions about pointing your domain to your NRO store. When we see the domain is pointing to your NRO store, we'll replace the NRO URL with your domain. Then, you will see statistical data through your Google Analytics account and can upload your Google data feed to your Google Merchant Center account.
