Hello, We migrated from PayPal standarsd to “PayPal Payments for WooCommerce” https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-paypal-payments/ IPNs on PayPal started to fail, and we received another warning from PayPal. We were forced to disable IPNs. Questions: 1. We understand that “PayPal Payments for WooCommerce” will work even if IPNs are disabled. Correct? 2. We have old PayPal subscriptions that were purchased via PayPal Standards. Does it mean that the automatic renewal will fail, as IPNs are now disabled? 3. If yes, is there any way to ensure that these automatic renewals go through on PayPal? Thanks. Hello @ivo82 PayPal Payments works via the REST API and webhooks, so it does not interact with PayPal Standard IPN-based subscriptions at all. The existing subscriptions that were originally created through PayPal Standard will continue to be handled by the PayPal Standard integration. Disabling IPN may therefore affect those legacy subscriptions, as they still rely on the old integration rather than PayPal Payments. New subscriptions created through PayPal Payments will use the PayPal Payments integration and are not dependent on IPN. We may introduce a migration path for legacy subscriptions in the future, but currently there is no automatic migration of PayPal Standard subscriptions to PayPal Payments. Kind regards, Krystian
