You may have the following message on the Dashboard:
You can receive this message because you have a test site or a clone after the live site. When you see the message in the dashboard, your payments are stopped. To solve this you have to put the payments from the live site on test mode and then on live mode.
The rule is as follows: On live sites, payments must be set in Live Mode. On the test sites, payments must be put in Test Mode.
This option allows you to select the Currency that you want to use on your website. Currently, every currency that is supported by our integrated payment gateways should be listed here.

According to PayPal’s Announcement, Instant Payment Notification (IPN) has been updated to https for added security.

Action by you: An SSL certificate is required by 19 January 2016 for Sandbox testing and by 30 September 2016 for all PayPal transactions.
