You may pass in a parameter called x_receipt_link_url to control where the customer is returned to on a per-sale basis. Keep in mind that this parameter will over-ride the approved URLs set in your account. Using this method, you could create a special button or link that would return the customer to a different page on your site than is set up on the Site Management page. This is useful for ‘promotional’ type sites as you can avoid having to make any configuration changes to your actual account.

If you are using buttons on your site to sell your goods through 2Checkout, you would add a single line to the button such as this:

<input type=”hidden” name=”x_receipt_link_url” value=”http://www.your-site.com/return.php”>

This must go between the opening and closing form tag that you see when you view your existing code.

If you are using links to sell your goods through 2Checkout, then you would add this parameter to your links to specify the approved URL, such as this:

&x_receipt_link_url=http://www.your-site.com/return.php

Notice that in both of the above examples, the FULL path is used for the value of this.

Important Note: For security reasons, the domain on your account and the domain that hosts the pass back page must match exactly for this to work correctly. For example, if you have http://www.your-site.com specified on your account, you could pass back to http://www.your-site.com/pages/pass.php but not to http://www.your-other-site.com/pages/pass.php.

For the pass back to function, 2CO must be able to locate and access the script and post the variables to it.

HTTP errors are not generated specifically by 2Checkout. They are a part of the HTTP protocol and are common amongst all web servers. It is therefore beyond the realm of 2Checkouts support to provide you with specific instructions for making these changes as every server is set up differently and 2CO does not provide server administration services as part of our support plan.

To correct this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your account.
  2. Click on the Account tab and then select the Site Management sub-category.
  3. Check the URL that is currently entered under the Approved URL field and make sure that it is correct.
  4. Click Save Changes.

The order of precedence for return from highest to lowest is:

  1. x_receipt_link_url
  2. Product Level Approved URL
  3. Site Management tab

The x_receipt_link_url will take precedence over all other return URLs, and the URL listed on the Site Management tab will be used by default if the other two are absent.

If the one with the product is different, then it will override the one you set up in the Return page.

If all customers will be redirected to the same URL, you may want to only provide the URL in the Site Management page rather than at the product level.
