JEM allows you to SSL enable different parts of your site:

1. Public Area
2. Members Area
3. Checkout Area
4. Admin Area

If you have an SSL certificate for your domain such as https://www.yourdomain.com, you can set the SSL option by editing the following file:

/system/application/config/config.php

define('SSL_PUBLIC_AREA', false);
define('SSL_MEMBERS_AREA', false);
define('SSL_ADMIN_AREA', false);

set each area to 'true' that you want to enable SSL for.

If you have a different URL for your SSL site, you can also edit the SSL URL in the same file:

$config['base_SSL_url'] = 'https://' . $config['base_subdomain_name'] . '.' . $config['base_domain_name'] . $config['base_folder_path'];

change that to the URL for your SSL area.

SSL enable the checkout page

If you want to SSL enable the checkout pages, you can add the SSL URL in Setings > Global Configuration > Store > Cart Settings.

Set the Use SSL On Checkout to enable, and enter the URL in URL to use for SSL checkout.  If you use a shared SSL certificate, you can enter the full URL here
