HTTPS – will return an HTTP 400 response with the following text in the body: "ERROR! Connection is not HTTPS. On failure: One of the following errors will occur depending on what your system does not support:. On success: A successful connection to will return an HTTP 200 response with the following text in the body: " PayPal_Connection_OK". The testing environment will present a ‘PayPal_Connection_OK’ message if you’ve completed the server update correctly. Use our testing environment to verify that your servers support the latest security standards. The Production endpoints will only allow TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 connections: The Payflow testing endpoints will only allow TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 connections: These endpoints only allow TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 connections: You can use these endpoints to verify that your code supports the required standards prior to the Production endpoints getting updated. You better start making the transition today.The PayPal Sandbox endpoints have been configured with the latest security standards to which the Production endpoints will be moving. So, if you have a store that uses PayFlow and you are using an older PayPal module, you could find yourself in deep doodoo on May 1. You better start making the transition today.
You can test which version of TLS 1.2 that you have by using the following php code in a simple php file on your system:Įcho "uname: ".
These versions require TLS 1.2 (the latest security standard) which does not run on OpenSSL 0.9.8, which just happens to be the version of Open SSL that is installed on most servers these days, due to security problems that were encountered with early versions of OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.
- J- designed for the standard (not responsive) version of OSCommerce 2.3.4ĥ. - Ma- designed for upcoming OSCommerce 2.3.5 but works with tweaking for earlier versions. There are two versions of 3.1 on addons created by Harald Ponce de Leon. If you have version 3.1 of the PayFlow module installed on May 1, you are OK.Ĥ. If you have an older PayPal PayFlow module installed, it will stop working on May 1. I think that they are going to follow through this time.ģ. Now they say that they are going to require it on May 1, 2017. PayPal threatened to require TLS 1.2 on May 1, 2016. So you won't be able to accept Credit Cards, but you will be able to still accept PayPal payments.Ģ. This only affects PayFlow, if you have PayPal Express Checkout also installed in your store, that should keep working.
Those of you who are not new to this, please let me know if I am wrong in any of my statements below:ġ. There are a lot of OSCommerce owners that will wake up to a nasty surprise on May 1. I think I finally understand the TLS 1.2 issue.
