 * Hi,
    To anyone having similar issue, using paypal Shared web hosting account.
   login to your host using SSH. run command curl -i [https://tlstest.paypal.com](https://tlstest.paypal.com)
   Should return a 200 status if test passes. mine returned Unknown SSL protocol
   error in connection to tlstest.paypal.com:443
 * Solution:
    Godaddy’s Shared WebHosting only support version 5.3 & 5.4. PHP 5.6
   or above is required for to resolve this error. Godaddy upgraded my plan to Cpanel
   hosting which supports PHP 5.6 (still not 7 like most other hosts), but it seem
   to have resolved the issue.
 * Hope this helps someone.

    I’m receiving the same error on my wordpress backend.
 * > WooCommerce Gateway PayPal Express Checkout requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.1 to be
   > installed on your server
 * Woocommerce > System Stats shows
    cURL version: 7.48.0, OpenSSL/1.0.1e
 * I’m hosting this on godaddy shared hosting account. and have purchased ssl from
   them.
 * On my test environment hosting on 1&1 i don’t have this issue.
 * Consequently, order placed through paypal are stuck at “Pending-payment”
 * Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
