Can Patch SUPEE-8167 be installed on older Magento 1.9 version?

Question

I am on an older version of Magento. Can the patch still be applied even on an old version or does it need to be on 1.9?

Thank you for you help.

Answer 1

If you are using Paypal with instant notification you can apply this patch.

First, understand the Magento released SUPEE 8167, It is IPN patch, PayPal will start using HTTPS URL (secured) for IPN communication. Currently, they are accepting HTTP requests.

For sure take backup of app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\Model\ipn.php Patch only changes above file.

Hope this will help you.
