Paypal payment issue in Prestashop 1.5

Image
When you use the paypal button at checkout you end up seeing the following window. Solutions: There are two methods to correct this problem. One is by upgrading your prestashop to the latest version (currently 1.6.0.11) Two is by correcting the code in the existing file. Here I am detailing about the second method. 1. Open the following file "modules/paypal/api/paypal_connect.php" 2. Find the following line of code: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3); 3. Delete the line of code or disable it by putting "//" at the beginning. Cool ! If found useful, buy me coffee for the time you saved.
