PayPal changes to SSL to SHA256 – does it affect non HTTPS sites?

  • Hi

    I have a site using your plugin and PayPal for payments.

    I recently got an email from PayPal saying they were moving from SHA2 to SHA246 security and all SSL certificates had to be updated etc.

    I was just wondering how this would affect the use of your plugin especially on sites without SSL / HTTPS domains?

    Obviously you have a page to receive IPN messages from PayPal. What happens with these new changes to sites without an SSL certificate? Will they still be able to get IPN notifications of payments from your plugin?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Just have to say PayPal have directly responded to me today to say that if you are not using SSL certificates then you don’t need to do anything regarding these changes.

    Thanks
