When shipping charges are based on order weight, suppliers may set charges based on exact order weight, or they may set charges based on weight ranges. This tutorial will explain how to create a shipping method in your account that will be based on the order weight.

Why am I getting this “No shipping available to your country!” error?
No shipping available to your country!
(The vendor may need to define a shipping method.)
This error is generated when the supplier is selling a tangible product and the shipping country entered by the customer does not have a valid shipping method set up in the supplier’s 2Checkout account. If the supplier wishes to ship to that country they will need a shipping method that includes it. Suppliers can follow the instructions listed in our shipping method tutorial for assistance creating or editing shipping methods.
If you are an international customer and wish to place an order with a supplier who does not ship to your country, you can use the service provided by Access USA to facilitate shipping to your location.

While the Plug and Play parameter set is typically implemented based on the provided HTML code, it can be extended and used in other forms. In this article we will explain how you can use the plug and play parameters with checkboxes. This will allow you to build an order form on your site where your customers can check the products or services they wish to buy all at once. We will also look at the use of checkboxes for product add-on and options.
Product options are variable selections of certain products, such as shoe size or shirt color, offered to customers. When a customer orders a product that is associated with a product option, the option will be presented in a drop down selection box on the first page of the purchase routine.
The product options page in your account provides you with access to view, create, remove and edit your product options. To access the product options page in our new vendor administration panel please login at the following url: https://www.2checkout.com/va/
Once you have logged in, click on the ‘Products’ tab and then select the ‘Options’ sub category.
The product options page provides you with the options name, the option values names and the surcharge for each value. The left side of the table provides you with the ability to delete and edit the options. The product options page also provides you with the ‘Option Locater’ search tool which allows you to search by the option name and option value name.
If you would like to create a new option you can click on the ‘Add New Option’ link on the right hand side of the page. From here you must specify the following:
There is no limit to the number of option values and you may specify up to 10 at a time by using the option value drop down. When your option values are entered you may click the save changes button to save your current values. This action will also provide you with new option value fields.
Once your product option has been created you may associate it with the certain products by selecting the ‘Products’ tab and clicking the ‘Edit’ icon for the product. Your newly created product option will be listed on the right hand side of the page. It can be associated with your product by clicking on the check box next to the option name and then clicking the save changes button.
To make changes to your current product options click on the icon located in the ‘Edit’ column. Editing the option will allow you to change any of the current option value and surcharges as well as add new option values and surcharges to the product option. To add additional option values select the number of new values you wish to add from the drop down box located above the option details.
Due to current credit card regulations, 2Checkout is no longer able to allow the purchase routine to be loaded with in a frame set. By loading our site in a frame, the customer would remain on the suppliers server while navigating though out purchase routine. Because 2Checkout is an authorized reseller and not a payment gateway or payment processor it is required that customers are aware that they are ordering from us at the time of purchase. To correct this the 2CheckOut transaction pages will break out of a frame set if they are loaded inside of one. Attempting to load the 2CheckOut transaction pages within a frame set will prevent them from working as intended and will generate a parameter error. If your site uses frames you may still integrate with 2Checkout by using target=”_blank” to load the 2Checkout purchase routine in a new window.
Example of an HTML form loading in a new window.
<form action='https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase' target='_blank' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='sid' value='123456' > <input type='hidden' name='product_id' value='101' > <input type='hidden' name='quantity' value='1' > <input name='submit' type='submit' value='Buy from 2CO' > </form>
Example of a purchase link loading in a new window.
<a href="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase?sid=123456&quantity=1 &product_id=101" mce_href="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase?sid=123456& quantity=1&product_id=101" target='_blank'> Test Product </a>
The reason for the products to not be removed from the cart from previous purchase is because you have tested a demo sale more than once without actually completing the sale. This means the product was “cookied” into the cart. The cart will remember items you put in the cart, and will only clear out by either a live purchase, or by putting a zero in and saving changes. This should not happen for a new buyer, or a buyer who completed a sale previously.
Each button added to the page needs to have its own opening and closing form field. This tells the browser that each form is separate, and not part of the same one.
The following correct example generated two separate buy buttons:
<form action="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="sid" value="XXXXXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="10" /> <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5" value="1" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Buy from 2CO" /> </form><form action="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="sid" value="XXXXXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="10" /> <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5" value="1" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Buy from 2CO" /> </form>
** Notice that there are two opening tags ( <form> ) and two closing tags ( </form> ).
Another possibility, if you are using an HTML editor, is the editor may be adding extra numbers to the parameters, thinking each identical one is part of the same form, and not a separate form. Look at the parameters in the forms, and make sure there are not extra numbers added to it.
Incorrect Example:
<form action="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="sid1" value="XXXXXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="10" /> <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5" value="1" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Buy from 2CO" /> </form>
** Notice that the in second line from the name=”sid1″, this should always be name=”sid”

Please be sure you are calling the products using OUR product_id number, not the one you added to the product. This is most likely the problem you are having. If this is not the issue, then submit a Help Desk Ticket below and give us a link so we can do a test purchase on your cart. If possible, include the purchase link or form you are using to send the parameters to our system.
