A primary concern for anyone giving personal details (particularly credit card details) over the Internet is that of security. By providing their details, a customer is trusting the website to use the details as they are authorized to do; they are not trusting any third party who could be eavesdropping on the communications.
It is therefore important that you give your customers the peace of mind that their details are safe whilst in transit; the risk of not providing this is that the customer loses trust in your website and you lose their business.
To ensure that the communication between customer and website remains secret, a secure (or SSL) certificate is required. An SSL certificate actually serves two purposes: to ensure that communication between two parties is secret, and to verify that the identity of the owner of the certificate.
Sygneca can provide and install an SSL certificate on our web servers for £150 for the first year, plus £100 for every year thereafter; a cost which primarily covers the costs of a trusted third party investigating your company and agreeing to vouch for your authenticity.
