4. You will then be redirected to the edit product page for the product you wish to edit. Below is a list of the fields that can be edited and descriptions for those fields.
   • Your Product ID (Required) – This is an internal reference number for your use. A part number, bin location or other reference that will be useful to you. This field can consist of only letters and numbers with no spaces or special characters.
   • Name (Required) – This is the name or title of your product. Keep this as short as possible (no more than 30 characters) or it can cause the payment page to become distorted.
   • Short Description – This is what your product is. We recommend you keep this short as well to keep the payment page from becoming distorted.
   • Long Description – This is a longer description of your product, this will not be shown during the checkout process.
   • Price (Required) – This is how much the customer will be charged each payment cycle. Do not include any currency symbols (like “$”) in this field or errors will result.
   • Tangible (Required) – This indicates whether or not your product is tangible. Tangible goods must be shipped in a timely manner in order for you to receive payment. Tangible goods are also subject to sales tax for Ohio customers. This field must be set correctly, if 2Checkout becomes aware you have deliberately lied about whether or not a good is tangible, your account will be suspended, and further penalties may apply. Note that if you set this field to intangible, the customer will not be charged for shipping and the option to select shipping methods will not be shown on the order page.
   • Weight – If you plan to use our shipping systems and will ship by weight, specify the weight here.
   • Handling - If there are any product-specific handling charges, they go here. These charges are above and beyond your normal shipping charges, and are only applied if this product is purchased, they are applied for each product ordered, i.e. if 3 of this product are ordered, the customer will be charged 3 times this amount. Do not use currency signs (like “$”) and do not use commas. Prices can be specified in whole numbers or as decimals to 2 places (example: 4.95).
   • Start Up Fee – This is a one time fee billed together with the first installment. This amount will be billed only once, not on a recurring basis. The amount you enter here will either be added or subtracted from the base price . If you put a minus(-) sign before the amount it will be subtract from the base price. If you don’t put anything in front of the amount it will be added.
   • Recurring (Required) – This indicates whether or not your product is a recurring product. A recurring product is one which will rebill the customer with a specified recurrence for a specified duration.
   • Recurrence (Required for recurring products) – This is a two-part field. The first part is a numerical field that tells us how long between billings as a number. The second box tells us the unit of time measurement, current options are; weeks, months and years. So, if you want a customer to be billed once every month, you would put in a ’1′ in the first box, and then select “months” from the second drop-down box. Note that we no longer support daily recurring billing.
   • Duration (Required for recurring products) – Like the last setting, this is a two-part field. The first part is a numerical field that tells us how long to continue billing as a number. The second box tells us what unit of time you are referring to. If you put in ’6′ and then selected “months” from the second drop down, your charge would automatically cease billing after 6 months. If you want to bill the customer until they or you cancel, leave the first box blank and select “Forever” from the second box.

   • Product Categories – This is for accounts who participate in the 2CO Affiliate program. You may select the category the product will be shown in when other Affiliates search for selling opportunities.

   • Affiliate Commission – Affiliate Commission can be specified either as an amount (in your pricing currency) or as a percentage. It is how much you want to pay affiliates, re-marketing your products on their websites.

To add an established product to the affiliate program, first locate the product in the listing by logging into the Vendor Administration area and clicking on the Products main tab. Find the product in the listing and click the Edit icon next to that specific product under the Actions column.

Once you are on the page to edit the product, you will see in front of you all the product’s options. Adding the product to the affiliate program requires that you have two additional product settings defined: Product Categories, and Affiliate Commission.

First, scroll through the Product Categories list and click on the category that best fits the product.

Second, specify the commission amount that will be paid out to the affiliate in the Affiliate Commission field. This amount can be either a fixed value or a percentage of the total product price. For example, if your product is worth $10.00 and you set a fixed amount commission of $1.00, you as the vendor will receive $9.00 and the affiliate will receive $1.00. Similarly, if your product is worth $10.00 and you set a percentage commission of 10% (IMPORTANT: do not include the percent sign when specifying the number in the input box), you as the vendor will receive $9.00 and the affiliate will receive $1.00.

After you have selected the product’s category and set the commission rate, click the Save Changes button to apply the settings and add the product to the affiliate program.

Once you have logged in please click on the ‘Shipping’ tab.

From the shipping screen click the icon labeled ‘Add New Shipping Method’ to open the Shipping Wizard. The first screen has three sections, as described below.

The shipping method name field is used to create a name for your shipping method. This name will be displayed to customers when the shipping method is available for them to select, so you may want to make it fairly descriptive.

The Tracking URL field. If you will be shipping by a method that will provide tracking numbers, you may want to list that URL in the Tracking URL field as the URL will be included in the shipment confirmation email that can be sent to the customer when the order is marked as shipped.

The options in the Pricing section decide how the cost of your shipping method will be calculated and has three options.

• Free- Will create a shipping method with a base price of ’0.00′. Will show ‘Free’ in the price column at checkout.
• Fixed- Allow you to specify a static flat-fee.
• Price based on delivery country, weight, or order total- Opens more advanced pricing schemes. As the name suggests it can be used to charge a higher shipping fee based on the country the product will be shipped to, how much the products ordered weigh and/or the amount of the order total.

The Countries section is used to specify what countries your shipping method applies to. If you will be using this method to ship internationally select ‘all trusted countries’. If you are only shipping within your home country select ‘home country only’, otherwise you can select ‘custom list’ to select specific countries that your shipping method will be used for.

If you selected a pricing option other then free then you will be presented with the Surcharge Options page. Enter a base price for your shipping method to use. If you selected fixed for your pricing scheme, this will be the flat-rate that is used to calculate shipping, otherwise you will have a chance to add additional surcharges on the next screen. Your base price can be 0.00 but cannot be a negative value.

If you selected price based on delivery country, weight, or order total for pricing then you will also see a Countries section that can be used to further customize the pricing for your method. Select whether you want to customize your shipping method by country, weight, order total or any combination thereof.

The Custom Country List section serves two purposes. It allows you select the applicable countries for your shipping method if you selected the Custom List option and will allow you set country-specific surcharges if you selected price based on delivery country, weight, or order total. You can add countries to your method using the list at the top of the page or remove countries using the list at the bottom. Use the surcharge amount field to enter your desired surcharges for each country if you selected that option earlier in the process, otherwise the field will not be displayed.

The Set Overweight Charge / Add A Weight Surcharge page will be displayed if you chose to add shipping surcharges based on the total weight of the order. The set overweight charge field can be used to specify how much will be added per pound if the order weight goes over your maximum weight division. To create a weight division use the weight max field and specify an amount to be charged if the order weight is under or equal to your weight setting (but above any weight divisions below it). For example, if you create a surcharge for 2 lbs at 2.00 and 4 lbs at 6.00 and the order weighs 1 lb the shipping surcharge will be 2.00 plus your base price. If the order weight is 3 lbs, the surcharge will be 6.00 plus your base price. Another way to think of this process it that the weight of the order is rounded up until it finds the nearest weight max. One thing to keep in mind is that although the weight measurement used throughout the admin area (and, therefor, also in this tutorial) is pounds (lbs), our system doesn’t know the difference between this and any other measurement (ie. ounces or kilograms). Feel free to use your preferred weight measurements so long as you use them globally for your account.

The Add An Order Total Surcharge page is used to specify a total price and how much the surcharge should be if the order total is equal to or below it. This feature works similar to the weight based method in that the order total will be rounded up until the next division is found.

The Confirmation page will give you a quick overview of the options you have selected for your shipping method. Click the ‘Save’ button to complete the shipping wizard or ‘Back’ to return to a previous page and make additional changes.

Recurring (Required) – This indicates whether or not your product is a recurring product. A recurring product is one which will re-bill the customer with a specified recurrence for a specified duration.

Start Up Fee – This is a one time fee billed together with the first installment for recurring products. This amount will be billed only once, not on a recurring basis. A free trial period is not possible on our recurring billings. A startup fee can be setup to apply a discount on the customer’s first installment. To do so simply enter the set-up fee as a negative amount. It should not equal or surpass the recurring price as the system will not accept a sale for 0.00.

Recurrence (Required for recurring products) – This is a two-part field. The first part is a numerical field that tells us how long between billings as a number. The second box tells us the unit of time measurement, current options are; weeks, months and years.
