Important PayPal security concerns for your site

The first measure of PayPal will only impact the TOWeb e-Commerce sites if they sell digital products (i.e. music files, photos and other types of files for sale on your site). If this is the case for your site then Paypal requires you to use the HTTPS protocol on your server. And the second measure of PayPal that may impact your PayPal payments is if your e-Commerce website is hosted on a server that is not already using the version 1.2 of the TLS protocol and the version 1.1 of the HTTP protocol.
