Paypal Services Upgrade Notification

Hello,

We received the below email from Paypal.

We use 12 r2.2

Is there anything we need to do or be concerned with regarding this announcement and our use of Paypal via Shopsite?

Thank you,
Mark

ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED: PayPal service upgrades for merchants.

Csutomer,

We’re contacting our merchants with some important information in response to an industry-wide security upgrade which is not unique to PayPal. This change involves upgrading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates over the course of 2015 and 2016.

Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your partner, website vendor, or individuals responsible for your PayPal integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. If you do not have a technology team, we recommend you find one, and we can work with them to ensure you continue to process payments through your current integration with PayPal.

Full technical details can be found in our Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide (https://ppmts.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/471495/1425083092/redirect/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xNDI4NDQyNTIyL3NpZC83SXlEZWlqbQ==/filename/2015 Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide (U.S. English).pdf) . In addition, our 2015-2016 SSL Certificate Change microsite (https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1236) contains a schedule of our service upgrade plan.

Questions can be directed to our Merchant Technical Services team on our Technical Support website. Click here for more information.
Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve our services.

Thanks Jim.

Based on that only SP1 is being tested, so is one to assume we need to upgrade to sp1 to make sure all is OK?

Who do I contact about getting the installation files to update to sp1? I have your email, but not sure if I should contact your directly with this request or not.

We are hosted on Bluehost, but their automated (simple scripts) update service is not very well supported and we prefer to do it manually ourselves.

Thank you again,
Mark

Authorize.net made similar changes (see http://support.shopsite.com/KBase/questions/2566/) and older versions of ShopSite were tested and no problems were found.

If you want to upgrade to 12sp1 you can contact ShopSite sales using number listed on our home page http://shopsite.com.
