Payflow Gateway Update

[gsdcypher]

Question about PayPal... Is zen cart 1.3.8a compatible with the [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]upcoming Payflow Gateway Update? PayPal is upgrading its payment gateway service and all older Payflow integrations must be updated.

I'm not sure if you're writing in the context of Payflow Pro or in terms of PayPal in general. ie: which one are YOU using?

Zen Cart v1.3.9 is fully compatible with the new PayPal/Payflow/Payflow Pro requirements.

Zen Cart v1.3.8 can be patched for compatibility (details will be posted next week), or you can upgrade to v1.3.9 when it is released.

Users of Zen Cart v1.3.7 and older will not be able to use the free addon for Payflow Pro because the addon is not compliant with the new Payflow Pro requirements.

I see in DrByte's announcement that this applies to PayPal UK users - would it hurt to do the patch if you're located in the US, anyway?

Just trying to be thorough. Thanks!

Applies to Payflow Pro and Websites Payments Pro Payflow Edition Merchants (both are US) and Websites Payments Pro UK merchants using the Payflow credentials.

I just spoke with PayPal about the Payflow Pro update to what they call SDK 4.33. I mentioned that if it involves the gateway URL change (the one DrByte has posted) I already know about, but they said it involves more than the URL change. I am using 1.3.8, will there be a patch for 1.3.8?

..., but they said it involves more than the URL change.

If you are using other methods to connect to Payflow Pro, you will have to upgrade those yourself. As far as Zen Cart is concerned, the posted changes are all that's required.

I am using 1.3.8, will there be a patch for 1.3.8?

No there will not be a patch just to change the URLs. Surely you can open a text editor and edit those yourself ?

Is this statement correct, as in the other thread that you link to it just says to change the URL for 1.3.7, i'm assuming that all i have to do is change the URL and it will continue to work?

The adjustments for v1.3.7 apply to the built-in PayPal support, which can interface with Payflow services only for handling the UK Express Checkout support.

If you're using Payflow as a non-UK merchant and don't have Payflow connected directly to your PayPal account, then simply editing the URL will not suffice ... you'll need to upgrade to v1.3.8a (minimum) and add the free addon for Payflow discussed at the link below:

Thank you DrByte. No I am not using anything other than zen-cart and my payflow pro is connected to my paypal account (that is any payment that comes through shows up in my paypal account). I just edited the files and I going to do some testing. Since I upgraded to 1.3.8, which I absolutely didn't have any problems with, I customized quiet a bit, nothing in the payment area. As far as the payment modules go what do I need to do to just get that part upgraded to 1.3.8a?
