To celebrate their support for 2CO’s automatic recurring billing service, WHMCS has teamed up with 2CO to offer WHMCS users $25 off a new 2CO account. Additionally, WHMCS is extending a special offer to 2CO users by providing a 10% discount off an owned WHMCS license purchase.

After three waves of testing, we have seen a steady increase in completed sales. As of the most recent test results, our conversion rate has increased another 1%, to over 5% in total. These increasing conversion rates have resulted in millions of dollars of additional sales for online businesses using 2Checkout.

Earlier this week, we rolled out new purchase pages that implement the improvements developed from these waves of testing. We think you will enjoy our new cleaner easier to use purchase pages.

You can see more of these new purchase pages, without charging your credit card, at our demonstration store ACMEOnlineBooks.com.

Testing and development of the purchase page will continue, as we adjust and adapt to an ever-changing world e-commerce marketplace.

When used in conjunction with our Instant Notification System and CGI purchase parameters, the API will enable the creation of sophisticated and powerful order management systems.

We are currently conducting a private beta for the first 10 API calls. If you are a 2Checkout vendor or a software developer who would like to participate in this beta program, please send an email to techsupport@2co.com that includes the following information:

• Your Name
• Your 2CO Supplier ID Number(s)
• Your Preferred Email Address

If you are a third party software developer, we would like to know the name, and anything else you would like to tell us about, of the product you develop.

After confirming the submitted account information, we will begin contacting those selected to participate, in the coming weeks.

Developers.2Checkout is a collection of useful website development tools such as…

• Purchase Machine and Code Generator – An application created to allow you to easily test the 2Checkout purchase routine, as well as generate code that you can use to integrate with 2Checkout.
• Return Script – A script that you can use to test the 2Checkout return process. This will analyze and display useful information returned from our purchase routine when a sale is completed.
• Instant Notification System Simulator – An application created to allow you to simulate our Instant Notification System for integration development and testing.

Developers.2Checkout also features its own forum, so developers can talk among themselves and about some of the more advanced features 2CO supports.

These are just the first tools we’re releasing to help web developers integrate their sites or shopping carts with 2Checkout. Please take a look and let us know what you think.

P.S.
To all the non-developers who just want to get up & running today, our easy plug and play cart system and many recommended 3rd party carts still make integration easy! You don’t need to be a web developer to use 2CO, but if you are, your job just got a little easier.

Our multi-purpose carts give you the ability to sell clothing, software, electronics, and much more using a flash based shopping cart. Choose between a XML powered cart or a full admin version for super easy product management.

Many of our clients have been asking for a faster, more efficient, customer experience. We heard those requests and are now happy to deliver the fastest checkout possible for clients that produce intangible goods/services.

To maximize compatibility, all current 2CO parameter sets are supported.

To maximize efficiency, only intangible products and credit card payments are enabled with this routine.

Please note: Accounts using third party carts are able to use the Single Page Purchase routine for both tangible and intangible products/services.

To address the needs of clients who produce tangible goods and those who want to benefit from all the alternative payment options 2CO accepts, the traditional multi-page checkout process will remain as the default.

This new single page purchase routine may be used with the PNP and third party cart parameter sets, by simply replacing the default purchase routine with this one:

We are confident that the new routine will streamline the checkout process for appropriate offerings and therefore increase conversion rates. 2CO will monitor conversion results closely. It is also recommended that each client evaluate their individual results independently.
