Paypal Merchant Changes

[Randall]

Support,

I just received the following message from Paypal and wondered if the current Woo-tickets plug-in is covered.

We’re contacting our merchants with a reminder about some important information in response to an industry-wide security upgrade which is not unique to PayPal. This change involves upgrading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates over the course of 2015.

Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your partner, website vendor, or individuals responsible for your Payflow integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. If you do not have a technology team, we recommend you find one, and we can work with them to ensure you continue to process payments through your current integration with Payflow.

Full technical details can be found in our Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide<https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/resources/sites/PAYPAL/content/live/FAQ/1000/FAQ1766/en_US/2015%20Merchant%20Security%20System%20Upgrade%20Guide%20(U.S.%20English).pdf>. In addition, our 2015 SSL Certificate Change microsite<https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1236&gt; contains a schedule of our service upgrade plan.

Questions can be directed to our Merchant Technical Services team on our Technical Support website. Click here<https://ppmts.custhelp.com/&gt; for more information.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve our services.

Hey Randall!

Thanks for reaching out about this. These things will not affect our code much, if at all, and you shouldn’t notice any downsides as they roll out their updates.

We’re keeping a close eye on things, though, and check in on changes like this from all 3rd-party software that could affect our code (Eventbrite, Facebook, PayPal, etc.)

So: no worries here. But to be safe, keep your eye on product updates in the “dashboard” of your site, if any quick patches are released that’s where they’ll show up!

Cheers,
George
