To specify a URL for our system to pass back to, please follow these steps:
- Login to your account.
- Under the ‘Helpful Links’ section, click on ‘Settings’ near the ‘Look and Feel’ section.
- Input the URL into the Approved and Pending URL boxes on this page.
- Click ‘Save Changes’.
If you are using our new vendor administration panel login at the following url: https://www.2checkout.com/va/
- Click on the ‘Account’ tab.
- Click on the ‘Site Management’ sub category.
- Input the URL into the Approved and Pending URL boxes on this page.
- Click ‘Save Changes’.
If you our using our free Plug and Play shopping cart, then you may specify an Approved and Pending URL on each product individually. You should see the options for these URLs while creating a product, but to add them to existing products, click Edit next to the product you wish to add them on. Any return URLs set on the product itself will over-ride the ones that you set on the Look and Feel page.
The Approved and Pending URLs may be the same URLs if you wish, but they can also be separate URLs. We will send the customer to the Approved or Pending URL depending on what the value of the credit_card_processed parameter is. It is only either Y or K. We will set the value of this to Y if we can immediately verify the availability of funds after the sale and then send the customer to your return Approved URL. We will set it to K and return them to the Pending URL if we can not immediately verify the availability of funds, such as if the customer paid by digital check. If you put the URL to the same script in both boxes, then the script should check the value of this parameter to determine the needed course of action.
The URL you enter here must have the extension of a script. If a static HTML file is used, such as an .htm or .html file, we will still send the customer back to that page. However, we will not pass back any details of the sale with them unless it is a script. If your return URL ends in any of the following extensions, then pass back will NOT occur, but the customer will still be returned there : .htm, .html, .com, .zip, .pdf, .rar, .doc
