Vendors who use our 3rd party cart parameters often wish for the product details to be displayed on our 2Checkout.com order page. By default, when using this parameter set, only the value of the cart_order_id parameter and the total of the sale are displayed on this page. Did you know it was possible for you to create the products in your vendor account, reference them with a few parameters, and still pass 2Checkout an arbitrary total value? The process is quite simple. We will start from the beginning and you are welcome to follow along by placing your Supplier ID number as the value for the sid parameter in our example links.

Displaying Product Information
June 11th, 2007, by: joel 2CO StaffCreating a Product CSV
June 8th, 2007, by: beau 2CO StaffIf you need to add a large number of products to your account, you may want to use the “Upload New Products” option that can be found on the Set Up Products page. Here are some guidelines for creating a properly formatted CSV file that can be used for this.
Collecting Credit Card Information
May 31st, 2007, by: knowledgebaseCredit Card Association regulations state that only authorized merchant account holders are to directly accept credit card information from customers. Because your 2Checkout.com account is an Authorized Reseller account and not a merchant account, directly accepting a buyer’s credit card information is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to using your 2Checkout.com account as an in-store point of sale, accepting 2Checkout.com orders via phone or placing orders on behalf of your customers.
Direct Return
May 24th, 2007, by: beau 2CO StaffOne of the most utilized features available to our suppliers is the ability to return a customer, along with information regarding their order, to the page from which their order originated. Although this process can be extremely useful and powerful, it can also be misunderstood by someone who does not have all of the available information.
Using Checkboxes With The Plug and Play Purchase Parameters
May 21st, 2007, by: joel 2CO StaffWhile 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.
Why Are the Images/Links on my Approved URL Broken?
May 4th, 2007, by: knowledgebaseWhen Direct Return is enabled (set to ‘Yes’), your Approved URL page will be fetched and displayed to the customer while they remain on 2Checkout’s server. Because of this, images and links that use relative paths will not resolve correctly, resulting in broken images and incorrect link destinations.
To fix this, you will need to specify a base URI for your Approved URL. This can be accomplished by inserting the following line between the <HEAD> tag of your page:
<base href=”http://www.example.com/pathto/approved.html”/>
The URL specified after ‘href=’ should be changed to your Approved URL. This information also applies to your Pending URL.
Search Engine Optimization
April 20th, 2007, by: 2checkout“If you build it, they will come.” The magic that makes this statement true is Google. When webmasters ask Google reps what they need to do to get their site into the index, the reply is consistently, “Content is king.” The subject matter of your web site and how clearly it is presented are the things that matter most. Make sure you have a site that is of value to a user seeking information online, and then Google will do everything they can to bring visitors to you. Continue reading…
