    We are having a woocommerce site and using paypal payment on the site. we go a email instructing about an paypal payment IPN.
    Does anything have to relate with Woocommerce on this ?

    As a reminder, communicated through email in the first week of December 2020, PayPal is expanding the Instant Payments Notification (IPN) infrastructure used to notify merchants about events related to the status of PayPal transactions. This change has added seven new IP addresses from which IPNs are being sent since January 18, 2021.?

    Below are all of the IP addresses that are being used for IPN.

    Some List of IPS were mentioned to
    xx.xx.xx.xx
    xxx.x.xx.x

    Call to Action

    If you are implementing any Access Control List (ACL) or filters on IP addresses for the IPNs received from PayPal, we request that you add all the aforementioned IP addresses before May 3, 2021.?

    Doing so will help avoid missing IPNs from PayPal. If you have any further questions about this migration activity, please feel free to reach out to Merchant Technical Support (www.paypal-techsupport.com).

    Thank you,

    PayPal

  • Hi @jaweedkhan,

    If you’re using one of our PayPal plugins, you don’t have to do anything as the plugin takes care of these updates.

    However, if you have implemented any additional security measures on your site that block certain IP addresses, then you would need to update that.

    I hope this clarifies your question.
