SSL

Paid Memberships Pro requires a valid SSL in order to process the membership checkout on your domain (if you are using an offsite payment gateway – PayPal Express, PayPal Standard or 2Checkout – an SSL is not required but highly recommended and can improve SEO).

This page requires a Free Account or higher.
