TLS 1.2 PROTOCOLS IN EFFECT JULY 2, 2018 

BridgePay production will no longer support TLSv1 or TLSv1.1 this Monday, July 2, 2018

After considering the impact to merchants unable to process and unable to reach out to their technical department or point of sale provider on Saturday, June 30th, BridgePay will make the final protocol changes at 6 am EDT Monday, July 2, 2018. If a merchant is still using an unsupported protocol, they will be unable to process transactions with BridgePay. Merchants will be referred to their technical department or point of sale provider for further assistance.

BridgePay systems support the latest PCI Council's encryption protocol requirement of TLSv1.2.

What systems are affected by this announcement?
Any system that makes an inbound encrypted connection to BridgePay systems. This includes web browsers, terminals and direct API integrations. If you are using an unsupported protocol, you will not be able to process transactions via BridgePay on July 2, 2018.

I use PayGuardian. Am I affected?
No. PayGuardian already supports TLS 1.2.
 
I connect with a web-browser. Am I affected?
Modern web-browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox and Chrome support TLS 1.2. Consult your IT department to ensure your system is configured correctly.
 
My system is integrated to the PathwayLINK API. Am I affected?
Yes. Please ensure your POS system integration supports TLS 1.2. Contact your POS supplier.
 
My system is integrated to BridgePay API. Am I affected?
Yes. Please ensure your POS system integration supports TLS 1.2. Contact your POS supplier.
 
Who should I contact if my terminal needs to be upgraded to use TLS 1.2?
If your terminal does not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, contact your terminal provider for an upgrade.

I use PayLINK. Am I affected?
Yes. Older versions of PayLINK, versions 2.1.253 and older, do not support TLS 1.2. This means older versions will not be able to connect to BridgePay test systems. Please upgrade to the latest version of PayLINK (2.1.254) that supports TLS 1.2. Production is not affected at this time. However, you should test and upgrade all of your production systems running PayLINK to the latest version before June 30, 2018. 
 
Where can I get the version of PayLINK that supports TLSv1.2?
