Internet 
Keep in mind, when you buy SSL, you buy it for the root domain normally. That is, if you want it for www.roanokemerchants.com, then you should buy it from www.roanokemerchants.com, not roanokemerchants.com. Either way doesn't honestly matter, the challenge is in keeping your configure.php file correct to match the URL the SSL certificate includes. Here is a partial example of a configure.php with SSL enabled:
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.roanokemerchants.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.roanokemerchants.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
The key is to replaced the default "http://www.yourdomain.com" with "https://www.yourdomain.com". There really are no secrets to making this work, but there are some key components to keep SSL from breaking.
#1 You must set the "HTTPS_SERVER" path to be your secure site for which your SSL certificate is designated. So, don't go putting https://yourdomain.com when the certificate actually reflects https://www.yourdomain.com. Very important!
#2 Change ('ENABLE_SSL', false); to ('ENABLE_SSL', true);
#3 Ensure any "img src=WHATEVER" links are set to secure sites, i.e. img src="https://www.paypal.com/certified.gif" All linked images (not on your secure site) must be linked to an "https" or SSL breaks. In some cases, you may copy the image to your own site's folder, so calling on it from there will always ensure it is compliant to SSL.
That is pretty much it. If you have any questions about this or you have a different configuration, please let me know. I am happy to help.
