A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to acquire an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and login information which will be exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains info about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, an authorized SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Next, you can use a URL beginning with https:// for your site instead of http:// and your website visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
