 * Hi,
 * I’ve clicked every one of the 27 pages of topics but was unable to spot this 
   topic having being posted before. (I’m amazed that WordPress does not have a 
   search feature for the plugin support area.)
 * The plugin works great but I’m seeing this issue:
 * (I’m using it in Sandbox mode.)
 * I fill my cart. I go to PayPal. The payment completes successfully. When I click
   the return to my site link, after successful checkout, my browser issues this
   warning:
 * **Security Warning**
 * The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection
   and could be read by a third party.
 * Are you sure you want to send this information?
 * Continue | Cancel
 * I’ve Googled and found this (which seems to be related):

 * My site does not have an SSL certificate.
 * Is there any way of preventing the security message? I don’t mind if this prevents
   some non-essential aspect of the plug-in’s behavior from working.
 * Thanks for your help – James

 * Hi, Thats a warning that PayPal gives when they are sending the user to a page
   that doesn’t have HTTPS. Its a PayPal thing that we can’t control that from the
   cart plugin unfortunately.
 * One thing you can do is enable the auto redirection feature in your PayPal account
   which might make that better. The following documentation has info on how to 
   enable the auto return feature in your PayPal account:

 * Thank you for your very quick reply.
 * This seems to me to be a browser issue: I’ve noticed that some browsers issue
   this warning and others don’t.
 * I understand it’s the redirect to a non-secure site that’s triggering it and,
   personally, I think it’s a good warning (although I’d question the browser authors’
   choice of wording: it’ll just confuse some non-technical people).
 * I’ve followed the instructions you cite. I have my PDT ID. Do I need to add it
   to the Plug-in somewhere?

 * No, you don’t need to specify the PDT token anywhere. Just have the auto return
   enabled and set to your thank you page.
