We received this email from USPS web tools.

Hello,

This message explains some security improvements planned for the USPS Web Tools services. Effective June 24th, 2021, Web Tools will remove support for all unsecure HTTP endpoints. After this change, all requests to an unsecure HTTP endpoint will fail when attempting to access the Web Tools APIs and integrators may see an error message. To continue using the Web Tools APIs, all requests must be made using the secure HTTPS endpoints listed below. Integrators currently using an unsecure HTTP endpoint should transition as soon as possible to the appropriate secure HTTPS endpoint below to prevent any loss of service. This change will impact only the API endpoints; the API request and response schemas will not change.

You are receiving this message because you have been identified as a user of the unsecure HTTP endpoints for Web Tools API requests. Please review the entire message carefully and share with your web developer, software vendor, and/or IT service provider to determine if your use of the Web Tools APIs will be affected.

Support for the following unsecure HTTP endpoints will be discontinued in all Web Tools environments. In advance of the retirement date, please update your endpoints to the secure HTTPS endpoints listed below.

Does the Hikashop plugin use the old insecure endpoints? I'm not sure where else I could fix this? Any ideas?

Thank you,
Cheryl

Hello Cheryl,

You won't have to do anything as we already added the new HTTPS endpoint URL through the last Hikashop - USPS shipping plugin, so everything will be updated through the next Hikashop release.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Hello,

It was actually already added through the last Hikashop 4.4.2 version, so you'll just have to download the last Hikashop version through our website and install it.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.
