SandBox and SSL

To answer a lot of questions people have been asking about the test environment and the live environment and the use of ssl.

When you are testing against Google Sandbox environment you do not need to use an SSL secured area to carryout your testing. All you need to do is specify a not SSL secured page, i.e http not https connection for your testing.

Whne you go live you must use an SSL secured area, although Google will communicate with a non SSL secured area it is not advisable to send your payment information over an unsecured connection.

So in closing

Sandbox - you do not need to use an SSL area or certificate when developing

Live / Production - you must use an SSL area or certifcate when deploying your application.
