    Best shipping extension for Magento

    Thanks, I'll check it out. Also, have you guys tested Shipping Per Product from CMS Ideas? As I understand, the extension helps you to set individual flat shipping rate for each product (that's what I need) but doesn't automatically detect the location an order is placed from. Also, what do...

My clients may search for the exact product name but the search returns about 100 results (some of them have nothing to do with the product at all!) is there any replacement for default Magento search?

    Do I really need an SSL certificate

    When you should use an SSL certificate: 1. You store credit card info. 2. Your site asks for personal info (login& password), otherwise hackers can see the data in clear text. 3. Many customers are fearful of fraud, so an SSL certificate will make them feel safe.
