Required Parameters:
sid- Your 2Checkout account number.

li_#_type- The type of line item that is being passed in. (‘product’, ‘shipping’, ‘tax’ or ‘coupon’, defaults to ‘product’)
li_#_name- Name of the item passed in with the corresponding li_#_type. (128 characters max, cannot use ‘<’ or ‘>’, defaults to capitalized version of ‘type’.)
li_#_quantity- Quantity of the item passed in with the corresponding li_#_type. (0-999, defaults to 1 if not passed in.)

Please note that shipping information will only be collected for items that are defined as tangible in our system. Shipping is also only charged for tangible items.

The billing information page will also be populated with the information from the shipping page if the shipping information is collected on that sale and the billing information is not passed in.

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.
