I purchased and installed a dedicated SSL certificate (with help from this forum). Included was a logo to use on my store. They had additional trust seals that you could purchase. I am new to this and would like to hear what others thoughts are on purchasing additional trust seals. The research I did showed costs ranging from $10-$30 per month.

What would the additional trust seals do, exactly?

Surely you get a seal with your SSL certificate that you can add to your website so customers can click on it to verify it?

As long as that is that case I'm not entirely sure what benefit 'additional' trust seals are - except for the people selling them, and of course, they'll be telling you how much better your website will perform because of it. Utter rubbish.

Much like the mcaffe secure seal thing, pretty much proven to have no discernable effect, other than the one on your bank account!

Thanks ggrgr, I feel the same way now.

I am trying to add the Paypal Verfied logo to my store. I located the column_right_tpl file that Qphoira was talking about but have no idea on how to add the code that paypal provided me. It is in html and not php.

Here is the tpl file. Can someone tell me how to insert my code?

Code: Select all

<?php if ($modules) { ?>
<div id="column-right">
  <?php foreach ($modules as $module) { ?>
  <?php echo $module; ?>
  <?php } ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
Here is the code paypal provided.

Code: Select all

<!-- Begin Official PayPal Seal --><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=nameofmystore%80state%4enet" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/icon/verification_seal.gif" border="0" alt="Official PayPal Seal"></A><!-- End Official PayPal Seal -->
Thanks in advance[/quote]

If you want to put it in a column, the easiest way to do this is to use my 'Page Content' module (click link below) or one of the other ones available as using one of these won't require modifiing any files.

If you use mine then leave the dates blank, you can also leave the title blank. In the page content box, click on the 'Source' button and then paste in your code.

Depending on how your shop is set up you may need to do this 2 or 3 times to get it on different pages (category, checkout and product layouts perhaps).

Job Done!

Otherwise, try:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($modules) { ?>
<div id="column-right">
  <?php foreach ($modules as $module) { ?>
  <?php echo $module; ?>
  <?php } ?>
<!-- Begin Official PayPal Seal --><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=nameofmystore%80state%4enet" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/icon/verification_seal.gif" border="0" alt="Official PayPal Seal"></A><!-- End Official PayPal Seal -->
</div>
It will always be at the bottom of the column though.
