Visa payment security in Magento 1.9.3.7

[Mohsin]

I am developing a website using Magento 1.9.3.7 version. Can I use the same version to make secure payment or should I upgrade the magento version? Please recommend a solution.

Hey @Mohsin, 

Can you please let us know the API that you would like to use for your project? To view a list of APIs, go here -  https://developer.visa.com/apibrowser

Visa’s Payment Methods APIs aim to help process payments securely, safely, and quickly. Here's a link to the Payment Methods APIs - https://developer.visa.com/site/payment-methods 

Below I've include some direct links to payment APIs, as well.

Visa Checkout provides a single sign-in service to pay for online shopping purchases. After a simple setup, Visa Checkout users can skip inputting their payment and shipping information for their orders. Visa Checkout works across multiple devices so online shopping stays easy.

Hi Diana, 

Thanks for taking your valuable time to reply to my post. I referred to a blog saying that visa urges to migrate merchants of Magento 1 to Magento 2 due to security issues.  Please refer https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/visa-urges-merchants-to-migrate-e-commerce-sites-to-m...

All I want to know is whether the users of existing websites that were developed in Magento 1  can still use Visa card payment without any security issues. If yes, what would be the solution to overcome?

Thanks,

Mohsin

Hey @Mohsin,

To answer your question, as per the Acquirer Advisory below, it's recommended that all merchants migrate to the new version of Magento.

Given the absence of security patches after the revised cut-off date, any sites that have failed to migrate will be vulnerable to security breaches and pose an increased risk to the security of payment card data. Please let us know if you have other questions and someone will be happy to help.
