To better clarify why 2Checkout is the ideal solution for South African businesses and address the difficulties many face while selling online, 2CO has developed an exclusive page outlining 2Checkout’s solution for South Africa, and for a limited time is offering South African businesses a waiver of our $49 USD signup fee.

E-Commerce has always been a hot topic of conversation in South Africa. For the past year, a steady stream of buzz has resonated from a number of South African message boards and blogs as business owners debate the best available e-commerce options and air their frustrations about the logistical difficulties they face while selling online.

According to various posts, most South African businesses face the same challenges while attempting to sell online – inflated rates and fees, application denials due to their South African business address, and the inability to remit payments from their e-commerce provider to a South African bank account. How is it possible for any business to survive if they can’t deposit sales into their bank account?

The truth is South African businesses have never had to worry. 2Checkout is the ideal solution and many excellent businesses from the country have already figured this out. In fact, on any given day, approximately 400 South African businesses rely on 2Checkout to sell online.

Why? There are a number of reasons why and many users were not shy in sharing their opinions in blog posts – which we in turn addressed on the new landing page. The basic difference is this. Aside from our built-in fraud protection, 24/7 customer care and free PCI-DSS compliance, 2CO provides South Africans the ability to accept all of the web’s most popular payment methods, including PayPal, and remit these payments directly to their South African bank account. These crucial, combined features separate 2Checkout from our competition and have not only made our service a popular solution in South Africa, but popular and useful throughout the world.

And what’s great is that the news only gets better. Beginning this Autumn, businesses will be able to remit their payments in South African Rand, one of five additional currencies being added to 2Checkout’s currency remittance list. Additionally, 2CO is updating its Prohibited Products List removing a number of once banned products and services, including banner advertisements and social networking sites, making it possible for more businesses to utilize our services.

We encourage you to visit the new landing page and review the facts. And if you are in South Africa and ready to switch e-commerce providers or prepared to start selling online through a new site, now is the time to choose 2Checkout and save $49 USD through our limited time free signup offer. You will be glad you did!
