Yeah if your wordpress host doesn’t at least offer a let’s encrypt certificate for https, it might be time to move on.
When I first started my site Inonly took payments through the PayPal system which is enclosed and https on its own. But I had to get a cert to add a stripe option (some customers had issue with PayPal) and quickly became aware of other benefits.
I think google is more apt to list and give good rank with the combination of good seo and https.
