A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you want to obtain an SSL certificate which will encrypt all the payment and account details that are exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address along with e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, an accredited SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they're a dependable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate and the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.
