Sorry, I don't understand why you'll grab a SSL certificate If you'll be processing with a 3rd party.

2Checkout provides secure https order pages. As wdi-home already mentioned there is no need for a seperate ssl certificate, unless you plan a secure client area on your website.
You might consider PayPal as an additional payment option for customers who don't have a credit card or who don't want to pay with a credit card on the internet. It depends on the products you want to sell and on your target group.
I wish you much success with your new online business.

Yes, to accept online payments via credit card signing up for a 2Checkout account is all you need to get started. Don't forget to make a business plan with all expenses included. It really helps to plan on a long-term basis.

xTiNcTion,
Don't be too quick. How much you will be processing in sales? Is 2checkout the best option for you, your products, or customers?
Did you check if a Merchant Account would be better and cheaper for you?

I don't want to act the one "Stay away from 2CO!", No. As well I don't like to recommend a company. Please research google and find reviews before going with 2CO.
Depending on the nature of your products, you may consider PayPal. They're more reliable.

There were many bad posts about 2CO on other forums, so it's really better to check with google.
So you are going to sell a single book?

Hello. I agree that you might want to check out both options to see which is best for you, a 3rd party processor or a true merchant account.
Wishing you much luck!

I need more info about you business. To get merchant acc in USA is not a problem. Concerning 2CO they've got some system problems right now, so it's better to wait a bit and to see what will be the result. Concerning third parties you may find lots of posts here about 3pp. I can't suggest as I'm an agent of 3pp and this will be advertising. Good luck!
