Hi
I had an email about a month ago (see copy below)saying that I will need to update my prestashop Paypal module in order for it to keep working.
I didn't know if it was applicable to v1.2.5.0 so just ignored it....but yesterday a customer phoned to say they were having difficulty in paying with PayPal. I tried myself using my [spam-filter]'s Paypal account to place an order through my shop and again it would not work.
I then tried to upgrade Paypal module in my shop but nothing happens....so I assume I will have to upgrade my prestashop version in order to apply the Paypal updates.
Am I thinking wrong?
Thanks
Dave
Since the SSL v3 issue (also known as POODLE) was identified on October 14, PayPal has decided to completely disable SSL 3.0 support at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 3, 2014.
POODLE is an internet security vulnerability that impacts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol, which was designed to ensure secure connections when surfing on the Internet.
As a consequence all PayPal merchant customers using PrestaShop need to update their PayPal integration by upgrading their PayPal module on PrestaShop before December 3rd, 2014 in order to disable SSL 3.0 for their client interactions.
If you do not upgrade your PayPal module on PrestaShop by this date, you may face interruptions to your ability to accept payments with PayPal.
To make sure your integration is protected against this vulnerability and to keep accepting PayPal payments beyond this date, you need to upgrade your PayPal module to version 3.8.0 by following these steps:
Users of version 1.5 and 1.6 of PrestaShop
Go to PrestaShop back office in the list of modules installed
Click on the « Update it » button next to PayPal module
If this button doesn’t appear, please follow the same steps as the ones described below for “users of version 1.4 de PrestaShop”
