What does 2CO need from me?
2CO will ask affected Sellers to confirm and/or update their 2CO account by providing a tax ID number and the appropriate corresponding contact information.

Your tax ID number is one of these:
• Your Social Security Number (SSN)
• Your Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Your Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)

Please use the guidelines below to determine which tax ID number to provide.

Business Entities with an EIN
Provide your company EIN and company name.

Sole Proprietors with an EIN
Provide your company EIN and your own name.

Individual Sellers and Sole Proprietors without an EIN
Provide your SSN or ITIN and your own name.

2CO will also need affected Sellers to confirm that their account name matches the tax ID number provided and to confirm their physical address so that if Form 1099-K is issued, we can report your information accurately to the IRS.

What if I don’t provide my Tax ID number?
If 2CO is unable to verify your information because it is incorrect or incomplete then, in order to comply with the law, soon 2CO will be required to withhold 28% on all your sales and remit it to the IRS. The withholding will end once you provide your tax ID number and corresponding contact information, and your information is verified by the IRS matching system.

How is the $20,000 calculated?
As required by IRC 6050W, the $20,000 will be calculated by looking at the Seller’s gross payment volume for sales of goods or services. Gross amount means that any adjustments for credits, cash equivalents, discount amounts, fees, refunded amounts, or any other amounts will not be included in the total.

Are international 2CO Sellers affected by this new law?
All international Sellers who are being paid in US Dollars and/or paid to a US Bank Account must comply with this new law. As a result, international Sellers may need to certify their non-US status and their address by filling out IRS Form W-8BEN. International Sellers are encouraged to fill out the form and email it directly to 2CO at: risk@2co.com. Form W-8BEN can be found at: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf. Please note that US Sellers living abroad may still be required to provide a tax ID number (Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)). 2CO will be contacting those international Sellers affected by this law via email and/or mailing address.

If you have additional questions about this law and your 2CO account, please email legal@2co.com, however please know that while we’re committed to helping our customers understand the 2011 tax changes, 2CO is not qualified to give you specific tax guidance. Please contact a tax professional for specific tax concerns.

Custom Parameters:
You may pass in any additional parameters that you may need and they will be returned to you at the end of the sale. The only restrictions on custom parameters are that they can not share the name of ANY parameter that our system uses, even from the other sets. Please note that you WILL need a return script set up on the Site Management page to receive any of these parameters back as they are not included in the confirmation emails.

You can receive back all of the parameters that were passed in as well as the following parameters:
order_number – 2Checkout.com order number
credit_card_processed – Y if successful (Approved).
key – the MD5 hash used to verify that the sale came from one of our servers

Consult the documentation that came with your cart or contact the cart manufacturer for assistance with setting this up or to determine what URL you should enter on the Site Management for your cart to receive the sale confirmation.

Important: You can not mix the four parameter sets. This will cause problems during payment or may prevent the payment pages from working at all.

Please Note: If an order includes a product that is defined as tangible or a shipping method it will need to be marked as shipped before it will deposit into your pending payment. If the order is not marked as shipped with-in 7 days of being placed, it will need to be reauthorized prior to being marked as shipped. For more information on marking sales as shipped in the admin, please visit the Marking Orders as Shipped section of our User Guide. This can also be done programmatically using our reauth and mark_shipped API calls which are outlined in the API documentation.

Important Note: When you are testing parameters, please be certain to clear the cookies in your browser between tests to ensure the changes you have made are applied. For more information on clearing the cookies please click here.
