# Sign Up Page Not Encrypted (no https://)

 * Hello,
 * I have a Sign Up page for new members available at [http://riverpodcast.com/register/](http://riverpodcast.com/register/).
   However, I just had a potential customer point out that the page is not showing
   up as encrypted and they refused to enter their credit card (and rightfully so).
 * I have the Security Encryption Key set under the s2Member General Options but
   am not sure what else needs to be done? I am using a PayPal Merchant account (
   PayPal Pro) to process payments.
 * Thank you for your assistance,
    ~Kent

 * That Security Encryption Key is not for payments. It’s for protecting the content
   of your site.
 * What you need is an SSL certificate. That’s nothing to do with s2Member. You 
   need to ask your host (who will probably charge you).

 * So using PayPal Pro isn’t enough? For some reason I was thinking that would encrypt
   the information that was sent to PayPal when they clicked the button.

 * Are you using a form or a button?
 * If you just use a button, then all payment details are entered on PayPal’s site,
   and they handle the SSL stuff.
 * But if you use an s2member Pro form, then some details are being entered while
   on your site, so you need an SSL certificate.
