Paypal ending support for Magento 1?

[reikak]

The owner of my company just called me and said Paypal called him and stated that they are ending support for Magento 1 on November 28th and that we must upgrade to Magento 2 or Magento 1.9 with some extra patches. I searched all over and couldn't find this info. I am on 1.7.0.2 with all patches released thus far. So does anyone know what is going on? I am worried about losing extensions that aren't available on Magento 2.

Thanks!

Hi @reikak

I am not aware about such announcement,I also searched on internet about this.

I do not think this is correct. Did your company owner receive an official email from Paypal?

 @sherrie might provide any information.

He received a phone call regarding it which I thought sounded very suspect... so I got the phone number. It's paypal 402-935-7733. But I tried calling them and the people answering didn't know what I was talking about. There were no emails, I get them for everything else such as their TLS update taking effect soon.

Well I found out via Paypal that there is some truth to this. There is some change taking place on November 28th 2017 that will affect certain versions of Magento 1, not sure on exact details. Some versions will no longer be supported. I will post more info once I get a response to my ticket from Paypal Developer Support.

any repair patch for paypal / magento issue with authentication. We got hit with 34,000 authorizations on friday 5-18-5019!  pay pal says magento knows about it for 2 uears and cant plug it up!  all or sites are now turned off.

Does anyone know if others like paypal are affected, maybe just move from paypal?
