Hi! Please tell me if Let's Encrypt meets these requirements for Paypal?

Support SHA-256. PayPal is upgrading SSL certificates on all Live and Sandbox endpoints from SHA-1 to the stronger and more robust SHA-256 algorithm. You will need to update your integration to support certificates using SHA-256.
Discontinue use of the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate. In accordance with industry standards, PayPal will no longer honor secure connections that require the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate for trust validation. Only secure connection requests that are expecting our certificate/trust chain to be signed by the G5 Root Certificate will result in successful secure connections

Let's Encrypt has never used a Verisign root.

I think you're reading this:

This is describing paypal's certificates. Let's Encrypt is not involved in your communicating to Paypal.

Your own website's certificates don't matter for this.

If you need more help, you should contact Paypal.

Let's Encrypt certificates all use sha-256 or better.

If you are on any recent operating system, you won't have any problems.
