PayPal notification

[Nick Lappage]

Good morning.
 
Many people had an issue yesteray using a formbuilder that identified a propblem with PayPal IPN. Does this affect the PayPal modules in Prestashop? Below is the main issue which has now been fixed with an amendment to their .php file. Just thought it may help here?
 
 
Ok, apparently PayPal updated their SSL certificate yesterday (March 23, 2015) and this affect all applications that uses PayPal API, including MachForm. I'm working on an update for this.
Reference from PayPal:

Many thanks

Hi Nick,

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but the reference you gave to [ Paypal customer help site ] does not seem to be a valid one, but rather a fake one, and potentially dangerous one.

 

You seemed to have been the target of a scam. I hope you are not involved in this in any ways, but at least, giving a fake reference may add further victims.

 

I recommend you only use official and secured Paypal site: https://www.paypal.com/fr/webapps/helpcenter/selfhelp/home/

Hi Phil,

 

It's a correct and valid site - PayPal Merchant Technical Support. It detailed why other parts of my website failed to get a notification when a payment had been made by PayPal. It was part of the form builder that uses IPN and PayPal's SSL upgrade. I noted it just in case others may have problems. I only posted this once I knew my site was working correctly again.

 

Cheers,

Nick
