You spoke — in multiple languages — and we listened!

2CO’s purchase routine is now better able to accommodate customers, by providing 15 languages to checkout in. The language options have been added to the top-right corner of our purchase routine, each displayed natively.

This feature provides immediate translation of our standard checkout form to one of these additional languages, with a click of the mouse!

If you are a vendor, and interested in choosing a default language to match your site and further enhance the customer experience, you can pass in a new parameter, “lang” when you hand off to 2CO.

As promised, we are staying true to our commitment of continuously improving our customer experience. By offering our service in multiple languages and facilitating better communication with customers, we are taking one more step toward improving customer conversion rates.

Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, European Spanish, Latin Spanish, and Swedish are now available in addition to English. To see working examples and integration instructions, please see our updated Knowledge Base article “Do you offer any languages other than English?”

As we monitor the success of this first round of translations, we hope you continue to provide us suggestions for a second round of language translations that will help reach us out to even more customers.

Stay tuned for more news on positive changes to the purchase routine as we continue to test and refine our layout, research additional languages and consider alternative payment options. We thank all of you who provided valuable feedback throughout the testing process.

Beta-version available today for your feedback!

Do you say “checkout” but a subset of your customers say it differently? We have your solution.

Staying true to our commitment of diversifying features to remain focused on the needs of an expanding global audience, 2Checkout has officially launched the beta of a new purchase routine loaded with 14 language translations for customers to choose during checkout.

The new feature, located in the top right corner of the purchase page in native characters, will provide immediate translation of 2CO’s standard purchase routine with a single click. Better yet, once the system goes live early next year, vendors will be able to direct customer traffic to the translated version of their choice, to eliminate the extra step of translating the English version for their international customer base.

In addition to English, the new purchase routine will include Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, European Spanish, Latin Spanish, and Swedish. Click on any of the following sample links to test the translation process:
