2Checkout and our Fraud Prevention Department are pleased to announce an improvement made to our services today. Beginning earlier this afternoon vendors are now receiving the fraud review notifications at a quicker response rate then they were previously.

Prior to today, 2CO vendors were receiving review notifications within an hour or two of the order being placed. Now, vendors should see this response time reduced by at least half.

This feature enhancement should benefit those of you selling immediate downloads and services as your customers will experience fulfillment rate that has been improved from hour or more, to within the hour. Or even as quickly as within 20 to 30 minutes.

Quicker notifications should result in a quicker turn-around on order processing benefiting both you and your customers.

We are happy to announce the launch of a new site just for web developers.

Developers.2Checkout is a collection of useful website development tools such as…

• Purchase Machine and Code Generator – An application created to allow you to easily test the 2Checkout purchase routine, as well as generate code that you can use to integrate with 2Checkout.
• Return Script – A script that you can use to test the 2Checkout return process. This will analyze and display useful information returned from our purchase routine when a sale is completed.
• Instant Notification System Simulator – An application created to allow you to simulate our Instant Notification System for integration development and testing.

Developers.2Checkout also features its own forum, so developers can talk among themselves and about some of the more advanced features 2CO supports.

These are just the first tools we’re releasing to help web developers integrate their sites or shopping carts with 2Checkout. Please take a look and let us know what you think.

P.S.
To all the non-developers who just want to get up & running today, our easy plug and play cart system and many recommended 3rd party carts still make integration easy! You don’t need to be a web developer to use 2CO, but if you are, your job just got a little easier.

2Checkout is supported by an ever-growing list of third-party shopping carts.

Traditional shopping carts, like X-Cart and ClickCartPro, have supported 2CO for many years now. Others, like Summer Cart and ViArt, are more recent additions. 2CO is also supported by hosted shopping carts like 3DCart and hosted invoicing systems like FreshBooks.

We’re proud to recommend these carts and services and all of the others we’ve reviewed and confirmed for compatibility. You can see our entire recommended cart list, organized by category (PHP, ASP, Hosted Services, etc.), here. There’s a solution for almost every need and we’re adding more all the time, so check back frequently.

If you have developed a 2CO-compatible shopping cart and would like to have it included in our recommendations, please email us directly at integration@2co.com and we’ll be happy to provide all the information you need to confirm compatiblity.

Purchasing goods through 2Checkout using your ATM Debit card is quick and easy.

When you are ready to pay for your purchase, you will be presented with a Payment Methods page where you want to select the “Debit” option.
