Translations: 2Checkout Wants to Hear from You

Checkout!, Acquista!, Verificar!, Auschecken!, Fazer Pagamento!, Til Kassen!, Passer la Commande!

“Checkout” is no longer the only word we will be using at 2Checkout.com. Soon, “Acquista,” “Verificar,” and “Til Kassen,” will be three of fourteen new ways to checkout customers, as we put the final touches on our newest translated updates of the 2Checkout Single Page Purchase (SPP).

As part of 2Checkout’s Phase One translation plan, fourteen additional languages are being added to the checkout process and are now available for viewing on our beta server, as part of a larger planned overhaul to provide a more seamless and consistent customer-friendly experience. In addition to English, languages added in Phase One are Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, and Swedish.

We encourage you to review these new pages through the 2Checkout beta server (see links below) and provide us feedback on ease-of-use, flow, and translation accuracy. Once we are able to apply appropriate changes based upon your suggestions, we will go Live with the pages and make them available for integration. It is important to note that these pages are for viewing only and are in their initial beta phase, therefore, please do not point real sales to the beta server.

We look forward to your feedback! Additional versions are currently in the works including plans to launch multiple translations of the traditional checkout method pages by mid-summer 2008.

Fraud Mitigation

When legitimate e-commerce prospers everyday, there is still the growing threat of illegitimate business. Unfortunately, there is no way we can stop these people from attaining and using others information. However, we can prevent our vendors from associating with illegitimate buyers. A business that sells tangible goods will experience less fraud than a business that sells intangible goods. It is quite easy to generate great loss by sending a service to a free and untraceable email address opposed to sending a service to a physical address. Fraud will occur in every type of business, some more than others. We find that the most sought after services that accumulate the most losses are hosting, e-books, and templates.
