PayPal® Not Supported Errors

Problem

You see the following error while using a PayPal® payment gateway module:

Not Supported

Cause

This error indicates that an action occurred that does not require any action from WHMCS. For example, a txn_type value of subscr_failed indicates that a subscription payment failed, and subscr_eot indicates the end of the subscription term.

Solution

You will see these entries under normal operation and they do not indicate a problem.

PayPal® will end support for the legacy (deprecated) PayPal modules, including PayPal Basic and PayPal Checkout, starting in 2027. After PayPal ends support, their transactions will fail. Your customers will not be able to pay you. We strongly recommend migrating to PayPal Payments to prevent this problem.
