first data payment gateway (premium)

Question

I am using woo-commerce plugin for word press. I recently installed first data payment gateway extension(premium extension) into my wordpress.

It throws the following error:

FirstData GGe4 Error: Credit card data cannot be entered unless you are using an SSL secured connection.

I am not sure what is SSL, how can I connect SSL with first data gateway.

After installation if that will not work then try to add below code in your function.php of theme for particular page with ssl

add_action('wp_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
add_action('admin_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
add_action('login_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
function apply_ssl_to_specific_page(){
        <?php
    if ( is_page('your-checkout-page-slug') ) {
        if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '443')
            header('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    } else {
        if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == '443') 
            header('Location: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    }

}

replace your-checkout-page-slug with your page slug
