Thkns to take care of:
1. Make sure you know how you're going to calculate shipping.
2. Make sure you protect from SQL injection hacks
3. Purchase an SSL certificate - your hosting company may be able to
sort this bit out.
To install SSL, follow the instructions here:

In the application you don't do anything different to use SSL - the
browser and server take care of that bit.
Basically, you install the cert on the server, and tell the server what
pages must be served using port 443 (SSL). Then use absolute URL's to
nav to those pages (the secured pages need
https://www..... not
http:// to browse to them correctly).
If you are using a generic secure server provided by the hosting
company, then you need do nothing apart from place the secured pages
onto that server and use https:// to navigate to them.
