New Website.... HELP

[hgrimwood]

We are setting up a new business website.
We have composed a form for the customer to fill out. We're wanting to do the payments through paypal but I've just been reading up that i need an ssl certificate. Can anyone tell me if we have to have one of these or maybe give me some advice on other ways people could place orders with us.

If you're only collecting payments through PayPal you don't need the certificate as the customer will be redirected to the PayPal site for the actual transaction, and that's the site that need it.
