(However, many Site Store Pro enabled sites use an SSL certificate even if they will not be collecting payment information to protect the My Account login information.) Note: Your webhost may include a “shared” SSL certificate which you can use as the checkout URL value.
When setting up your initial Site Store Pro installation or when testing the trial version, you may not have an SSL certificate available and/or may have installed the files into a subdirectory for testing. In these situations, simply enter the same URL that was entered as the Store (Website) URL.
