TUTORIAL: Creating 2Checkout Purchase Links
March 10th, 2008, by: simba 2CO StaffThere are several different ways you can set up your website using the four different parameter sets available in 2Checkout’s purchase system. The system works through sending HTML parameters (aka. variables) to the purchase routine to initiate a sale, whether they be sent by a HTML submission form or a direct purchase link.
As you are working through developing your integration, you can make use of our developers.2Checkout area to test and play around with the various parameter sets and see their interaction with 2Checkout’s purchase routine.
Universal Parameters
Four universal parameters will be available to use with every set. These parameters assist you with various aspects of integrating the 2Checkout purchase system into your website:
- demo — You can set this equal to ‘Y’ to tell the purchase routine that the sale is a test. While the cart will act the same, and even ask you for billing details, no monetary transaction will actually take place.
- lang — Set this to ’sp’ to translate the purchase routine into Spanish.
- pay_method — This can be set to one of the following values to specifically set the purchase routine to use the specified payment method: ‘CC’ for Credit Card, ‘CK’ for check, ‘PPI’ for PayPal, or ‘PPL’ for PayPal Pay Later.
- merchant_order_id — You can set this to any ID number (eg. ‘merchant_order_id=SALE-001′), which will display on the customer’s email receipt of their purchase and can assist you with organizing customers and their purchases within your records.
The following are explanations of the four individual parameter sets available within our system.

New Vendor Admin: Home Page
February 1st, 2008, by: simba 2CO StaffThe home page displays all information that is immediately pertinent to you regarding your account. Your account status, priority alerts and a recent list of sales let you see the most up-to-date standings within your account. In addition, you have the ability to search for sales quickly by using the locater included in the home page’s sidelines.
Account Status – Three possible statuses…
- Y – Allowed to sell. Allowed to be paid.
- P – Not allowed to sell. Allowed to be paid. – Suppliers in this status will see a ‘Parameter Error’ on the 2Checkout purchase page when a purchase is attempted.
- S – Allowed to sell. Not allowed to be paid.
Pending Balance – This is the estimated amount pending the release of your payment from your 2Checkout account.
Your last login was – You can keep track of when you last logged into your account. This can come in handy if you are keeping track of log-in times.
Vendor Alerts
This section includes all the notifications that 2Checkout will send vendors when major events occur that affect accounts globally, when new documentation needs to be reviewed, and other such alerts requiring your attention.
Summary – Clicking on the title of an alert will open the message up in a modal pop-up box on the page.
Once you are finished with reviewing the information, clicking the ‘Mark Read’ button will note that the message was read and will keep the message around for later review, or clicking the ‘Delete’ button will remove the message entirely. The review status of each message is displayed within the Status column as a ‘read’ or ‘unread’ status.
If you have many alerts saved, you will notice that there is a limitation of displaying only the ten (10) most recent items. To view all of your saved alerts, you will need to click on the ‘View All Alerts’ link.
Recent Sales
Here you will find your ten (10) most recent sales in a listing, defaulting in a descending order by the date and time they were placed.
Sale # – Clicking on the sale number link gives you easy access to opening up that specific sale’s details page.
The total sale amount that appears under the USD Total column is the total amount for the most current sale under that sale number. This means that any non-recurring sales will have only one total amount that will never change. However, recurring sales that have start-up fees will display whichever is the most current re-billed sale amount. For example, if a vendor has a recurring service that costs $10 per month with a $5 start-up fee, the initial total amount will display as $15, but when it re-bills for the continuous $10 amount it will display as $10.
Sales Locater
The locater is positioned along the side-lines of the home page, which gives you easy access to search for sales as soon as you log into your account. Additional to the convenience, there are now more search-able fields than ever before, making it even easier to locate your sales.
