PayPal New SSL/TLS 1.2 Update Notice? Do my site work?

Hi all,

Today I am received a e-mail from PayPal about it TLS 1.2

https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=FAQ1913

And I am on processing the ZC 1.5.4 upgrading .. but it need time.

I am using PayPal Express on ZC 1.5.1, and 1.3.9h, do this effect my site?

And do I need buy SSL Cert right now for the front end? I am using GoDaddy VPS Hosted....

Thank you.

you can test the supported protocols on your site here:

if your site does not meet the requirements laid out by payPal, you would have to contact goDaddy.

That interaction is between the server and PayPal. That requires different SSL capabilities than when a customer reaches the server... To comply with the information posted by PayPal one does not require a SSL certificate that would be seen by the customer coming to the site with https:. It is still a good idea and is still suggested generally speaking but these two issues are different and divorced... Another way to put it, yes please get a SSL certificate for your store, but having it, assuming it is installed correctly and doesn't have a negative impact on your customer's purchasing desires won't necessarily mean that the server will be able to communicate with PayPal as needed to meet their direction.
