Paypal Update for SHA-256
-
I got the following email from PayPal about an upcoming upgrade to the SSL certificate. I’m wondering if this will affect thecartpress, and if I’ll need to add any code or change something on my end? From what I’ve read it depends on your host/server and you shouldn’t need to change plugin code, but I just want to make sure.

The email:
As we have previously communicated to you, 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.
This upgrade is scheduled for 9/30/2015; however, we may need to change this date on short notice to you to align to the industry security standard.
You’re receiving this notification because you’ve been identified as a merchant who has used IPN endpoints within the past year. If you have not made the necessary changes, we urge you to do so right away to avoid a disruption of your service!
Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your individuals responsible for your PayPal integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. Please share this email and the hyperlinks below with your technical contact for evaluation.
