A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you would like to acquire an SSL certificate that will encrypt all of the payment and login information that will be exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains info about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address along with email, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
