If you enable it, when users arrive on the checkout, they will be directed to the SSL version of your website. If you activate that option and that you didn't configure your SSL certificate on your server, you will also have an error during the checkout as your checkout won't be reachable. So you should make sure that your website is accessible via SSL (just try to access it with https instead of http at the beginning of your URL) before turning on that option. If you don't know how to configure SSL on your server, you should contact your hosting company as each hosting company proposes to do it differently...

Now this wouldn't be too big of a deal except for IE users.... obviously one would try to use https as little as possible to avoid any issues with the IE browser. Anyways, the configuration for "Force SSL on Checkout" is selected but.... SSL should be restricted only to the checkout pages... it is not. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing to deactivate the SSL on other pages. That would require a specific plugin to be made. I've made it but it's not tested. Here it is. #### *This attachment is hidden for guests.

I´ve installed the plugin but activated the checkout is no more using ssl. Maybe you can have a short look in the plugin? Would be a great help. For more details or others questions let me know.

I have read that you have the nossloutsidecheckout.zip plugin and that at the time of your original post it was untested. Is it still untested or is it ready to go? I am looking forward to finishing the initial setup and testing next week. Thanks again for what so far has been a GREAT experience with what so far looks like a GREAT extension.
