Cheers

Its good to read !

But I received a message from Paypal explaining that I have to correct this aspect:

"IPN Verification Postback to HTTPS Microsite"

How can I be sure that I am ok? Which is the minimum version of Hikashop I need to have? I had install two stores in Joomla 2.5 and i need to know if their ok.

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

The plugin already has a IPN verification using HTTPS.
If you want to be be it does you can look at the code of the plugin...but you'll need to be a developer to understand it.

Make sure that you have the latest version of HikaShop.

It's best to update regardless of the PayPal modifications.
But yes, you should be good.
