With rm=1, PayPal will simply redirect the user to your site, and rm=2 will actually post the data back to the site. We have decided to use rm=2 as that could be useful for some users that need to display that information on their pages. I am not sure why the warning message is being displayed, but that is something specific to some configurations, and not to everybody. We will look for a way to allow the rm parameter to be changed via a hook and also try to find out why the return URL is not using HTTPS for some users. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-80885 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:20:34 +0000 Chris Hajer 80885@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've brought this issue and the other post you linked to to the attention of the developers.

I don't have an SSL certificate. I wonder if it's a browser or OS thing? Which browser are you using and on what operating system? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-79003 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 00:09:52 +0000 Trevor 79003@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just wondering if anyone else has any ideas on this security warning? </p> <p>I'm surprised this isn't a bigger concern from Gravity Form users...I thought for a lot of folks the whole idea of using PayPal is so you don't need an SSL certificate, but then isn't everyone without an SSL getting this security warning whenever someone finishes their transaction and clicks the return to website button on Paypal?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-57124 Tue, 01 May 2012 09:19:24 +0000 David Peralty 57124@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Unfortunately, I'm no expert in Paypal, but I have paid for a number of things with my Paypal account, and not all of them have redirected me back afterwards. I can say that you are correct in everything else, but it looks like if you want to pass any details back to your site, you'll need an SSL to get rid of that warning. </p> <p>I'm not sure how to do it, but if you could create a thank you page without any kind of details from the transaction in it, you probably won't get that warning, but you would be best to talk to Paypal directly about that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-57099 Tue, 01 May 2012 02:20:47 +0000 Trevor 57099@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for getting back to me so fast. My concern is that if you stop people from redirect back to your site, don't you lose the ability to present a follow-up / thank you message after someone makes a purchase--which is pretty much essential ?</p> <p>Also, how would I stop PayPal from re-directing back to website if I do want to go this route? I don't have "Auto Return" on PayPal, but I don't think you can remove the link back to your website, so I'm not sure how to stop people from clicking back through and getting the warning?</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-57074 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:51:26 +0000 David Peralty 57074@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you don't redirect back to your form then this issue is moot and you don't need a SSL. If is only because you are sending data back from a secure site to a non-secure one that this error should appear. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-57061 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:12:38 +0000 Trevor 57061@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So, essentially then if you want to use Gravity form PayPal plugin you need a security certificate? Well it's not essential I guess, but I think that this security warning would make for very unhappy and unsure customers, so really it is needed. </p> <p>Is there any alternative solution? I'm wondering because the big benefit of using PayPal is not having to worry about this and clients being able to save on the SSL certificate cost.</p> <p>Thanks a ton!<br /> Trevor </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/security-warning-after-payment#post-53827 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:32:42 +0000 bhays 53827@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Apparently, the HTTPS is checked via the $_SERVER global on line 2595. This should work fine in most circumstances, but thanks to Network Solutions and their proxy SSL it does not. I had to hard code the https in for now.</p> <p>And on that note, stay away from Network Solutions at all costs. </p>
