WooCommerce gateway that doesn't require an SSL certificate?

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know of a good WooCommerce gateway that doesn't require an SSL certificate? Because I see that Stripe needs one! Does PayPal Pro?

Thanks,

Joe

You will need an SSL certificate if you accept payments on site. You could use any of these off site gateways http://www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/payment-gateways/off-site-payment-gateways/ without an SSL. Off site means they will leave your site temporarily to make a payment.

Pro tip - update to newest Woo-commerce ASAP. One of the researchers at Wordfence discovered a SQL injection vulnerability in WooCommerce yesterday. They just pushed an update to fix it.

Yes, agreed with ghost code, you'll need a SSL to payments on your site. But as mentioned, there are options for payment off of your site if that's what you want.
