Yes unless you use a third party gateway (off site) such as PayPal.

 

But even then you get to PayPal and it's SSL.

 

Personally we run SSL on the user end to make them feel secure (reassurance) even if the site doesn't take payment on page/server side.

It is highly recommended for any website that takes personal/private data (address details etc) have an SSL installed on the website. Even though you do not need one for using external payment gateways like PayPal I would recommend ordering one with a provider. You can get SSL's pretty cheap these days (£10-£20 a year for a basic one).

Ok, thanks

 

Where the heck are you getting SSL certifictaes for £10-£20 per year from?
