PAYPAL SSL V3 - TLS > DO I EVEN NEED TO DO ANYTHING?

[Gavlar94]

Been looking on the web because my boss got a email from paypal warning him about the recent issue and how paypal will not be supporting ssl v3 after the 3 Dec and that an email will be sent out to show you how to fix it.. No email yet.. but hey this got my boss all moody and mugins here has to find a solution..

 

Anyway i came across this:

 

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest

 

Which i typed our url in and it says my hosting package doesnt even support ssl v3 anyway? So do i still need to upgrade or am i all fine and ok to ignore it the warning messages?

 

Many thanks,

Gav

So i receievd the email and all you need to do is either update the module if you have a reminder to update the module if you don't have a reminder go to the addon.prestashop website search for the paypal module re-download it and then upload the newer version to your website. The newer verson is Paypal v3.8.1.

 

This will simply update the one you allready have - so no need to retype in your api or whatever its called..

 

Hope this helps someone..

Thanks for the info. But my prestashop version is 1.3.1.1 with paypalAPI 1.0. What do I need to do?

@ hurray i have no experience with Prestashop 1.3.

The email only has advice for 1.4 +..
The paypal module update is only compartible with 1.4+ (So it says).

 

So you might need to edit the code it's self.

 

Here is a topic which has been updated, to explain a little bit more..

You can also contact paypal:

Prestashop 1.3 is pretty old? Have you thought about upgrading it to a newer version?

Sorry i cant be more help.

Hi Fuckitsgav,

Yeah the email from Paypal did not mention anything about older versions of Paypal Module.

I know I should update my shop's prestashop version but right now is really not the time given the fact that christmas shopping season has started and any down time would have negative effects on my business.

Apparently no one from prestashop family seems to have full knowledge on this matter.
