Yes, when running e-commerce websites it is important to have a SSL fo your website. You can order for a SSL certificate from here:

Private SSL for your websites

Once you order it will be set up for your website.

That is right. For a website that you have mentioned about will need a dedicated SSL anyway. You don't have to worry about the installation. the techs will install it for your website.

It creates a secured private connection between the web browser and web server that covers the web forms, gateways, mail, FTP servers and VPNs. This is one of the most secured and efficient ways of securing the sub-domains linked to the website. Here is a complete explanation on the WildCard SSL – WildCard SSL Certificate.
