If you are selling a downloadable product or service, you may provide the URL as the approved URL at either the product or account level. The customer can be directed to your download one of 3 ways. When the Return Method is set to “Given Links back to my website”, the customer will need to click a button listed as “Click here to Finalize your Order” to “Immediately Returned to my Website”, your approved URL page will be fetched and displayed to the customer while they remain on 2Checkout’s server. This also has the effect of masking the URL used so that the customer appears to still be on the 2Checkout domain. It is important to note that because of the way this method works, you must return the customer to a web page that includes an absolute link to your download and outputs at least 255 characters. When the Return Method is set to “Header Redirect”, the customer will be immediately redirected to your approved URL. If your approved URL is just the path to your file you will want to use either the “Given Links back to my website” or “Header Redirect” methods as the “Immediately Returned to my Website” method will not prompt the customer to download.

If you will only have one approved URL for your products or services you may provide that URL at the account level by clicking the Account tab on your account home page and then clicking the Site Management sub tab. On the Site Management page you will enter the URL in the approved URL field at the bottom of the page and then click the Save Changes button.

If you are selling multiple products or services that will have different approved URL you will need to provide the URL at the product level. This way if a customer orders multiple products that have separate download paths they will be provided with a download link for each product on the order review page. You may provide the approved URL when creating your products, or you may edit the approved URL on your existing products. To create a product in your account you will need to click the Products tab and then click the Create sub tab on the Products page. To edit an existing product you will click the Products tab and then click the edit icon listed under Actions for the product you are editing. Please be certain to click the Save Changes button when editing products.
