If i purchase the s2member pro does it automatically setup in https? I tried to find answers to this online but I couldn't find it.

I have a paypal pro business account and I understand that I can have all of the transactions take place on my site. I'm trying to find out how this works and if I'm going to need to get an SSL cert.

Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi,

*Secure Server* In order to comply with PayPal® and PCI Compliance policies, as set forth by major credit card companies; you will need to host all of your PayPal® Pro Forms on an SSL enabled site.

Please check with your hosting provider to ask about obtaining an SSL certificate for your domain. Please note... when you create PayPal® Pro Forms below; you'll be supplied with WordPress® Shortcodes, which you'll insert into Posts/Pages of your choosing. These special Posts/Pages will need to be displayed in SSL mode, using links that start with ( https:// ).

— You can skip the SSL certificate during Sandbox testing. SSL is not required until you officially go live. Once you're live, you can add the Custom Field s2member_force_ssl = yes to any Post/Page.
