Try to check into your "MachForm URL" within your settings page. Make sure the URL there is valid and pointing to your current machform URL. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/paypal-update-important-update-for-paypal-payments#post-24832 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:54:03 +0000 zeusofolus 24832@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am running version 4.5 and appear to be having this issue as well. The forms are not always sent after payments are processed and even the paid entries are marked "Unpaid". Wouldn't this update be a part of the 4.5 build already? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/paypal-update-important-update-for-paypal-payments#post-22106 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 22:20:25 +0000 mjaneck 22106@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is this also the reason that MachForm does not send out email notifications as soon as PayPal payments are involved?<br /> My form is not sending out emails when payment is required via PayPal - Forms without any payment have no problems.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Edit: Yes it was the problem! Just tested it. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/paypal-update-important-update-for-paypal-payments#post-22093 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:21:59 +0000 yuniar 22093@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes, version 3.5 also affected.

Unfortunately, the change is causing issue to all sites/software that uses PHP PayPal SDK, including MachForm. </p> <p>Although the issue doesn't affect the functionality of your form to accept payments, it will always mark all payments as "unpaid". This is because MachForm wasn't able to connect to PayPal server using SSLv3 to verify the payment status.</p> <p>Today (October 17th, 2014) , we've just updated v4.2 package with the fix for this issue.<br /> Please login to our member area and download machform package again.</p> <p>You'll only need to update one file.<br /> Please replace your current "machform/lib/ipnlistener/ipnlistener.php" file with the new file.</p> <p>The fix should enable your form to verify the payment status correctly again.</p> <p>References:<br /> -------------------<br /> PayPal announcement - <a href="https://www.paypal-notify.com/eventnotification/event_details?eventId=5787" rel="nofollow">https://www.paypal-notify.com/eventnotification/event_details?eventId=5787</a><br /> PayPal changes on GitHub - <a href="https://github.com/paypal/sdk-core-php/issues/52" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/paypal/sdk-core-php/issues/52</a> </p>
