Payment Gateways need SSL cert?

[kingzasz]

If I sign up for a payment gateway such as authorize.net or Verisign Payflow, do I still need a Verisign Cert? Or is that included.

Also, how do I like my script to these gateways? DOes Authorize.net provide the SSL encryption, or do I need a Verisign Cert?

Thanks.

I have to answer on the gateway that we offer & the answer is no. The gateway offers the SSL cert. They offer very basic HTML to transmit data over to the gateway to an API.

If you are using Payflow PRO, you'll need a cert on your side (it does not need to be Verisign; mine isn't). This is because you are collecting the secure data (CC#, etc) on YOUR server, then forwarding to them.

With Payflow LINK, though, you are taken to their server for checkout, so no cert is needed on your end.

With Authorize.net, unless things have changed or they have multiple product offerings, they worked the same as Payflow PRO - you collect the data on your server, then transmit it to them; the user stays on your server.
