To upload a product image in your account, please login to the sellers area at the following URL: https://www.2checkout.com/va/

Once you have logged in click on the Products tab and then select the Images sub-category. This will take you to the List Images page where you can view your uploaded images and add new ones. To add a new image, click on the plus + sign where it says Add New Image in the upper right side of the page. This will bring you to the Upload Image page. You will need to enter some information into the form to upload your image.

Image to Upload – Click the Browse… button and find the image on your computer that you want to upload. The image format can be any one of the following types: GIF, JPG/JPEG, PNG, and BMP

Image Name (optional) – This is the name you give your image to easily identify it when looking at the ‘List Images’ page.

Folder Name (optional) – This is a category that you can give your image. It will help when sorting your images in the ‘List Images’ page. Example: “CDs” for audio discs, “DVDs” for video discs.

Image Type – Click on the drop-down menu and select the ‘Product Image (300×300 max)’ option. [also see: Uploading Order Page and Purchase Page Logos]

Auto Resize Image? – Default is selected. This option will automatically resize your image if it is not within the maximum resolution acceptable for the Image Type you have selected. This saves you the time of going through all of your product images and resizing each one.

Auto Convert to JPEG? – Default is selected. This option will automatically convert your image file to a JPEG image.

Once you have filled out the information, click the Submit Form button to complete the upload of your product image. If the image uploaded successfully, you will be taken to the Edit Image page and you will see your newly uploaded image on the upper left side of the page. Please note that uploading an image does not automatically attach the image to any product. You must attach the image to the appropriate product after you have uploaded your images.

When creating your file remember the number of fields used per line is 13. Each field is separated with a comma or pipe and each line must have no more or less than 13 separator. When using a CSV, product names and descriptions are common offenders to this rule as they sometimes include extra commas so we suggest creating a PSV file to handle these situations.

Listed below are the fields that will need entered for each product along with the maximum length in characters for that field.

Product ID:
This is the unique ID that you use to identify your product. 64 char max.

Name:
This is the name that will be used for your product and will be displayed to the customer in our purchase routine. 128 char max.

Inventory:
This field is not currently used by the 2Checkout system and may be set to any non-negative number, including zero, or left blank. 9 char max.

Price:
This should be a positive number representing the price of your product in the currency used by your 2Checkout account. No currency symbol should be used in the field itself. Valid examples are ‘100′ and ‘100.00′. 8 char max.

Weight:
This is the weight of your product used to calculate a shipping charge using your weight-based shipping methods. Only numbers should be used in this field. 4 char max.

Handling Charge:
This is an optional handling charge to be added on a per-product basis. No currency symbol should be used in the field itself. 4 char max.

Tangible:
Whether this product is a physical item (ie. clothing) or intangible (ie. software or services). Represented with a 1 for tangible or 0 for intangible. 1 char max.

Description:
This is a short description of your product that will display on your Order Page or when the item is added to a shopping cart. It’s easy to add an unintentional comma in this field, so check your descriptions. 255 char max.

Start Up Fee:
This is an additional fee to be used for recurring services. This must be a non-negative number, although it can be changed to a negative value after upload to represent a discount on the first billing cycle. No currency symbol should be used in the field itself. 4 char max.

Pending URL:
The Pending URL field is no longer used and may be left blank as 2Checkout no longer offers e-check as a payment method.

Approved URL:
This is the URL your customer will be returned to after a successful order. This must be a full URL starting with http://. It can be left blank to use the URL specified in your account’s Site Management tab. 128 char max.

Recurrence:
This specifies the length between billing cycles (how often to charge a customer). Entries should contain a number followed by Week, Month or Year. Examples are 1 Month (once a month) or 4 Year (four times a year). There must be a space between the number and the word. Also, the word must start with a capital letter (see examples above). 32 char max.

Duration:
This specifies how long to continue billing a customer. This should be formatted in the same method as Recurrence but can alternatively be set to Forever to continue billing until canceled. Keep in mind that, while 4 Year in the recurrence field means bill four times per year, in the duration field this means continue billing for four years. 32 char max.

Below you will find the first three lines of a working CSV and PSV file. The first product example is a simple tangible product that costs 1.00. The second product example is a recurring intangible product that will bill for 10.00 every month for two years with a 15.00 setup fee on the first installment. A custom approved URL has also been set for this product. The last product example is a tangible product that costs 100.00, weighs 10 units of measurement, and has a 5.00 handling charge.
