Definitions

• EFT — Electronic Funds Transfer is the quickest method of money transfer and they do not cost anything through 2Checkout. Vendors are able to transfer very small amounts (minimum of $10 USD) from their 2Checkout account to their bank, hence enabling vendors to potentially be paid every week without the penalty of transfer fees. It is recommended by the banking systems for the safety of the vendors that no more than $10,000 USD be transferred per payment for vendors who can receive EFTs, as they are rescindable. Although EFTs are not available in all countries, vendors always have the option of signing up for a Payoneer card to enable their ability receive EFTs.
• Payoneer — The 2Checkout.com-branded Re-Loadable MasterCard® (powered by Payoneer) is the solution for vendors who wish to be able to accept EFTs in countries that do not offer the EFT service. The opportunity to receive EFTs in a country that does not support them is accompanied by the inherent benefit of being able to receive payments from your 2Checkout account with only a $20 USD minimum payment and no 2Checkout transfer fees (although, Payoneer does charge nominal fees for transferring money to your card). Additionally, it is very handy for those who wish to have direct ATM access to the funds transferred from their 2Checkout account into the Payoneer card. Click on the following link if you would like to sign up for the 2Checkout.com-branded Re-Loadable MasterCard®.
• Wire Transfer — Monetary wires are not as quick as EFTs, although they are typically suggested for payments greater than $10,000 USD. Wire transfers give you the assurance that your check-in-hand is as good as cash and no charge-backs can take place against that amount unlike EFTs, which are rescindable.
• Paper Check — Checks are manually printed from our 3rd-party processor and then mailed out to the address you specify within the Banking Wizard.

Welcome to 2CO!

All of our vendors are charged the same discount rate, and such a rate is not negotiable. These fees are quite modest, when one considers all of the services obtained:

- Support Staff
- Real-Time Gateway Access
- Industry-Leading Fraud Screening
- Customer Service Support
- Marketing Base

We are certain you can appreciate the expense of providing these services to you and our customers on a daily basis. Discounting our transaction rate would also force us to ‘discount’ the services and features provided to you and the customer, which is not something we are willing to do.

Signup/Account Establishment Fee:

There is a one-time set-up fee of $49 USD.

Transaction Fees:

2CO applies a 5.5% commission on each transaction, plus a $0.45 USD charge per transaction.

Additional Penalties and Fees:

If you elect to pay the sign up fee via the check or PayPal method and we do not receive the funds, a manual adjustment can be made for the $49.00 USD plus a $25.00 USD manual processing fee from the current balance on the account.

Depending upon your funding selection, you can experience wire transfer costs. Additional fees can be applied for unsuccessful funding transfers, should the information provided to 2CO prove to be erroneous.

Should you elect to be paid by check, and fail to receive one via first-class mail, you can elect to pay applicable stop-payment fees in order to have the payment reissued in advance.

Chargeback experience can also result in fees passed along to you. We strongly encourage all contracted suppliers to assist in combating credit card fraud in order to minimize or eliminate fees of this type. Fees can vary depending upon utilization experienced by various suppliers.

Please review the Supplier Agreement, Operating Guidelines, and Fee Schedule for specifics regarding these fees.

Operating Guidelines:

Fee Schedule:
https://www.2checkout.com/documentation/op_regs_a.html

For all accounts, the reserve begins at 5% of gross sales within the payment period. The reserve amount is held for 90 days, then released.

Reserve Example ( 5% Reserve Level, 90 day hold ):

June 1st payment cycle
———————–
$120 in sales
$20 in refunds from sales in this payment period
$10 in refunds from sales in a previous payment period

The reserve held would be $5 or ( ($120 – $20) * 5% ).

Under this example, the $5 would be released to you on the August 31st payment cycle.

The reserve level can be increased based upon individual account experience. Any potential increase is always discussed with the supplier in order to ascertain whether the situation can be rectified in another manner.

Please follow these instructions when utilizing this payment option:

1. Go to the “Start Selling” link located on http://www.2checkout.com.
2. Complete the required information, but choose the “Mail in Your Check” option located at the the top of step 2 of the signup process.
3. When the signup is completed, send an email to sales@2checkout.com with the SellerIDs (old and new).

Step 3 is VERY important, as our Fraud Department will likely terminate the new account for fraudulent payment information without prompt notification to our Sales Department.

All of our potential vendors are charged this fee. This fee is quite modest when one considers all of the services it helps pays for:

- Support Staff
- Real-Time Gateway Access
- Industry-Leading Fraud Screening
- Customer Service

We are sure you can appreciate the expense of providing these services to you and your customers on a daily basis. Discounting our account establishment fee would also force us to ‘discount’ our customer service, which is not something we are willing to do.

Additionally, this fee is much less than one could expect to pay for a normal merchant account. Some of the setup fees for those can be several hundred dollars.

All accounts that offer only products or services that are $5.00 USD or less will be reviewed by our Risk Department on a case by case basis to see if the higher rate structure applies. The decision to either apply the higher rates or to not is based on the fraud or risk that we have historically encountered with similar products or services.

To find out if the higher rates would apply to you, please contact risk@2Checkout.com and provide them with your URL or a description of your products or services so that may provide you with additional information.

If it is decided that your account would be subject to the higher rate structure, the fees per order would be 6.5% of the transaction plus $1.00 USD.
