PayPal IPN Email

[riyana]

I have been receiving this notice from PayPal, and I want to make sure this has no impact on the WP E-Store plugin. Please advise.

As a reminder, communicated through email in the first week of December 2020, PayPal is expanding the Instant Payments Notification (IPN) infrastructure used to notify merchants about events related to the status of PayPal transactions. This change has added seven new IP addresses from which IPNs are being sent since January 18, 2021.

Below are all of the IP addresses that are being used for IPN.

66.211.170.66
173.0.81.1
173.0.81.0/24
173.0.81.33
173.0.81.65 (New)
173.0.81.140 (New)
64.4.240.0/21 (New)
64.4.248.0/22 (New)
66.211.168.0/22 (New)
173.0.80.0/20 (New)
91.243.72.0/23 (New)

Call to Action

If you are implementing any Access Control List (ACL) or filters on IP addresses for the IPNs received from PayPal, we request that you add all the aforementioned IP addresses before May 3, 2021.

Doing so will help avoid missing IPNs from PayPal. If you have any further questions about this migration activity, please feel free to reach out to Merchant Technical Support (www.paypal-techsupport.com).

It should not affect you. That message applies to sites that filter messages from incoming IP addresses.

From our plugin’s point of view, there is no impact from this.

If your server has any firewall whereby it only accepts IPN messages from certain IP addresses, then you need to ask your hosting provider to update that firewall to include the new IP addresses.
