HI there
Im looking for some help. I run a small ecommerce website in the UK. I use Paypal pro uk (name may have changed) to accept card payments directly on my website.
I recently moved servers to comply with tls1.2 demands.
now when somebody tried to pay by card on my site they get the following error.
Result code = -32, RespMsg = The certificate chain did not validate, common name did not match URL. Input Server Uri = https://payflowpro.paypal.com/
Ive contacted paypal without any response. does anybody know how to resolve this error?
Thanks !

I found, at least with my .NET app, that I needed to enabled TLS 1.2 support to avoid this error.
Exactly how you do that will depend on your OS setup and programming language of choice.
