A. SUMMARY
==========
1. If your version was released before 14 September 2019 then you should install this patch.

2. If your version was released on or after 14 September 2019 then you should not install this patch as your version already supported PayPal Pro - SCA process and please go to C. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION > point 3.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
PSD2 introduces strict security requirements for the initiation of electronic payments in order to reduce the risk of fraud. These requirements include strong customer authentication, which is an authentication process that validates the identity of the user of a payment service or a payment transaction, which will be compulsory in the EEA on the 14 September 2019. Most payments will need at least 2 forms of authentication – or form factors* – to process a payment from institutions (banks) that issue credit and debit cards. SCA enforcement will not be enforced in the UK until March 2021, and there is also an enforcement delay in some other countries. However, as it phases in payments from customers outside the UK may be affected. So, you'll need to make sure your systems are up to date.
