Title: IPN endpoints Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # IPN endpoints * Resolved [nbruley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nbruley/) * (@nbruley) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-endpoints/) * I got a message from Paypal stating the following: * > As we have previously communicated to you, PayPal is upgrading the certificate > for [http://www.paypal.com](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.

Thanks. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jigoshop/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jigoshop/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Jigoshop Support-Vasili](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vasiliborbis/) * (@vasiliborbis) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-endpoints/#post-6534059) * Hi, * We Will check if there are required any changes in our PayPal extensions, as we have received same emails as well, if so , we will release updates to meet the new requirements. * Plugin Author [MWSGD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwsgd/) * (@mwsgd) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-endpoints/#post-6534317) * No updates are needed for PayPal. However, it is recommended that you contact your webhost to verify that they support SHA-256 encryption. * Read here for more info: [https://www.jigoshop.com/blog/2015/09/15/paypal-upgrading-encryption/](https://www.jigoshop.com/blog/2015/09/15/paypal-upgrading-encryption/) * [rottenuncle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rottenuncle/) * (@rottenuncle) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-endpoints/#post-6534358) * Michael, * I’ve been working for a couple of weeks with my webhost to get paypal IPNs to work again (they stopped working a few weeks ago) on my website (yearbox.com). We have made sure that the certificate (and cert chain) is upgraded to SHA-256. We have adjusted firewall and permissions to ensure that IPNs are able to reach jigoshop (confirmed both in my paypal account which shows IPNs successfully sent, and in my raw access logs, which show posts from paypal, in both cases with http 200 code). However, Jigoshop still does not advance orders paid with PayPal from pending to processing. Jigoshop 1.17.9, WP 4.3.1. It looks like PP is communicating properly with Jigoshop, but Jigoshop won’t advance the orders. Any suggestions?
