A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to have an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account details which are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address along with email, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, a licensed SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to show that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. After that, you will be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the website visitors can view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.
