2Checkout has introduced a new payments feature called payment profiles. Payment profiles allow you to create different profiles for each of your supported payment options such as different payment methods, accounts or addresses. You are able to edit, delete, or set a payment profile live in your account from the banking details page of your account.

After you have logged in to your account, please select the “Account” tab on your account homepage and then select “Bank Account” from the Account menu.

Your profiles will be listed under the Payment Profiles section on the right hand side of the page. To create a new payment profile please click on the “Banking Wizard” button and provide the requested information for the payment method you select. When you finish setting up your payment method you will be asked to enter a profile name on the Save Bank Account Profile page (optional) and select the Save Profile button.

Once created this payment profile will be displayed on your bank account page and will be set as live. You may edit this profile by clicking on the edit link which will route you back to the backing wizard to make your changes.

The 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.

Your recent sales page will provide you with a table that lists only your most recent sales.
