Overview
The disabling of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will occur so that we can maintain the highest standards for our data security and to align with the payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS) and industry best practices. TLS is the layer that ensures that connection from the app to the platform is secure, encrypted and safe from attacks.
Please enable TLS 1.2 to access the following eCommerce Solutions without interruption before Monday, April 9, 2018:

About Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures that a connection to a remote endpoint is securely encrypted in order to provide privacy and data integrity. Web applications and application programming interface (API) connections use TLS as a key component of their security. TLS 1.2 is the most current version and is considered to be the most secure. TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are earlier, now less secure versions.
