Re: Unable to communicate with the PayPal gateway

Hi Guys,

 

Wanted to share how we solve the issue.

It turned out that the curl version on our server is outdated.

To test use this:

Run the following command: curl -v -s https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp

 

Thanks again!

 

Re: Unable to communicate with the PayPal gateway

I am also facing same issue. Is it required to use only NVP APi for PayPal Express Checkout?

Re: Unable to communicate with the PayPal gateway

Hi,

 

Please refer to this answer https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/3509#issuecomment-189271581 
As addition, Paypal has upgraded to TLS1.2 https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1914&viewlocale...
From OPS point of view it requires to update libcurl to 7.34 or later.
 

Re: Unable to communicate with the PayPal gateway

Upgrading curl on Amazon Ec2 fixed the issue Smiley Happy

Re: Unable to communicate with the PayPal gateway

I tried with the above command but getting error "
Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl"
