December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseDo Customers Need to Know About 2CO?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseIt is important to the credit card associations and 2CO that the relationship between vendors and 2CO is not misrepresented. Vendors should represent 2CO as an authorized retailer or out-sourced vendor solution, not as a “credit card processor” or “payment gateway.” Vendors do have artistic license to incorporate this depiction into the context of their site provided they do not misrepresent the relationship.

May I use 2CO’s services to sell pixels?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebase2Checkout.com is no longer accepting pixel-selling sites if they guarantee that the site will to be up for more than one year.
It must be stated very clearly on the website that the site is NOT guaranteed to be up for more than one year. If you do not have any guarantee about how long the site will be online, then that must be clearly disclosed to prospective buyers.
In addition to the one-year limit on the guarantee, additional restrictions that 2Checkout is now placing on such sites include:
- 2Checkout will require a copy of a receipt from the site’s hosting service as evidence that hosting has been prepaid for the time that the site is guaranteed.
- Pixel site vendors must complete a Risk Form and return it to 2Checkout.com (I will attach a copy of the form to this e-mail).
- 2Checkout.com will withhold a reserve amount higher than our regular accounts. Reserve level will be 20 percent.
- Pixel-selling sites are strictly restricted to vendors in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
If you would like to use 2Checkout.com services for an account with these restrictions, please contact risk@2co.com for a copy of the risk form.
