Sorry if this has already been asked, I couldn’t find a suitable answer..

We are using ee4 with paypal standard and ipn. We have never had an SSL for the domain EE is hosted on. The site is hosted on centos 6 apache server.

We have received this email – “PayPal is upgrading the certificate for http://www.paypal.com to SHA-256. This endpoint is also used by merchants using the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) product. ”

Do we need to do anything?

Hi there,

You will want to check with your hosting provider to ensure they have correctly installed a VeriSign G5 Root Certificate.
Most of them will have already done this.
You can provide them with this link for further details:

PayPal Sandbox already uses this, so you can confirm if this works on your server setup by singing up with Sandbox, switching out your live credentials for sandbox credentials and enabling Debug mode.
Then run some test payments and see if it works as expected.
