    Good morning,

    First just to let you know I use X theme with WooCommerce and love it! The users pay with PayPal via the standard method of going to the checkout filling in your billing details and clicking the ‘pay with paypal’. This then opens up the paypal site for them to pay.

    I have received this email from PayPal:

    Upcoming security upgrade may impact yourPayPal service

    At PayPal, security and safety are our top priorities and as a result, we’re implementing a series of security upgrades throughout 2016 and 2017.

    To comply with industry standards, we’re moving the SSL certificates on our endpoints to stronger encryption known as SHA-256 starting after 30 September 2016. Compatibility with SHA-256 will help strengthen your protection and ensure that your business systems are up to date with the latest security measures.

    If your systems aren’t SHA-256 compatible, your business will be unable to accept payments with PayPal until changes are made.

    Will this effect me at all?

    Kind Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Jason,

    Unfortunately we cannot provide an ETA. I will remind our developers about it, I understand how important this is if you are running some business and I believe they will give a special attention on that, but for the moment no ETA.

    Thanks for understanding,

    Joao

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for your patience on this.

    You shouldn’t need to do anything for this upgrade. The PayPal SSL upgrade is neither, WordPress, WooCommerce or X theme specific. Rather it’s all to do with your webhost and if they have upgraded. Most web hosts I’m aware of already use SHA-256. WooCommerce have a guide on testing this out here https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-update-for-sha-256/

    Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

    Thanks!
