PAYPAL PAYMENT ERROR

[rayrayrugby]

Hi, I apologize in advance for my bad english, I'm french  .

 

I have a big problem with my paypal module since yesterday. Indeed when I try to pay my order by means of Paypal , I'm redirected on a blank page on wich activating the paypal debug mode I can see that error :

 

1. Send with CURL method failed ! Error: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com:443
2.  
3. Connect failed with fsockopen method

1. <b>PayPal response:</b>
2. ->

Since yesterday i try to find a solution to this embarrassing problem but nothing work so far .....

Could someone help me please ?

 

I specify that I use the paypal module in test mode, of this fact I use my sandbox username, pwd and signature.

 

I work in local. 

 

PayPal v3.7.2

PrestaShop™ 1.6.0.9 

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Did you try to reset the module?

[rayrayrugby]

Hello, Thanks for your reply  ,

 

Yes I did it several times but nothing changed .... Fortunately, I found a way to avoid this problem by installing the US version of Paypal and now all works fine.

 

I don't know why on the european version this error occur ....

Hi, I had exactly the same problem (Paypal API failed in Sandbox mode and in my case did not return an error code)..

 

I have contacted Paypal Technical Support and they answered:

 

"Please check that the module does not enforce version 3 of the SSL protocol.
We have disabled this protocol for sandbox as a response to the "POODLE" vulnerability."

 

I have replaced the following line in /modules/paypal/api/paypal_connect.php

 

//---replace  @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3); ----with
                   @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT);

 

and now it works again.
