PayPal API Changes & E-Junkie

[vannatx]

I received the following e-mail from PayPal yesterday:

"In keeping with industry standards set by the Certification Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum, PayPal will discontinue supporting 1024-bit key length certificates and will migrate to 2048-bit certificates before the end of 2013.



We have completed the installation of 2048-bit certificates for all API endpoints in our PayPal Sandbox and Payflow Pilot environments, and we will be doing the same for our production environments starting on August 6, 2013.



We strongly encourage merchants to thoroughly test any existing integration(s) in the PayPal Sandbox and/or Payflow Pilot environments to ensure this migration will not cause any unforeseen issues."



Can anybody tell me what this means in relation to E-Junkie? There was a PayPal API issue back in late Jan/Feb 2013 that caused an E-Junkie outage for several hours, I hope it doesn't happen again. Please advise.

I expect Development is already aware of this and attending to the matter to ensure a smooth transition, but I'll refer this to them just to be sure.

Hello, has there been any confirmation that E-Junkie has addressed PayPal's changes? I just want to know if I should expect any outages. Thanks!

Yes, Development confirms they have already attended to this matter at our end, so there should be no disruption in service whatsoever as a result of this impending change at PayPal's end.
