Buying and selling goods and services are becoming more popular each day since smart phones are widely use. But many people are still feeling unease when entering sensitive details such as credit card information in order to buy a product from a website. To increase your consumer confidence when accessing and using your website you could install an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS in your website. With HTTPS the data being sent over the internet is encrypted. This protect your website from packet sniffing and data theft. Therefore, SSL secures ecommerce transactions such as credit card numbers and passwords. Your website will also get a boost in your SERP ranking since most search engines love website that use HTTPS rather than HTTP.
Most hosting providers allow you to use free Secure Socket Layer Certificate from Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare, or other CA but paid SSL certificates are much better than the free ones.

But the most trustworthy Secure Socket Layer CAs are probably Digicert and GlobalSign.
