I am new to cloud based PrestaShop and fairly new to PS. I've been working on a self-hosted site with PS, so I've tried setting it up but haven't yet opened it. I wanted to try the cloud shop first to see if I liked it better before going live.
My question is about ssl certificates.
Since this is a form of shared hosting, do we need ssl certificates and can we run the prestashop without it on cloud ?
I ask because some of the payment systems I'm considering require a ssl certificate. I'm looking at Simplify, for instance.
If not, how will the buyer know the transmission is secure ?
I did not see this question asked yet, and hope I'm not repeating a question.
