The Holiday Season is fast approaching. It is time to turn our thoughts toward the ones we love and search for that perfect gift. 2Checkout Suppliers have a variety of gift ideas that that will be perfect for your gift-giving needs. Here is a brief list of suppliers from around the world ready to help you spread some Holiday Cheer!
The Product page in the new Vendors Administration Area(VA) features an Advanced View that will allow suppliers to select what product fields are displayed on the Product page, as well as the ability to edit multiple fields for multiple products at the same time on the Product page.
This tutorial will explain how to create products in the new Vendors Administration Area(VA).
Are you a prospective vendor wondering if your product is one that 2Checkout prohibits or restricts? Are you an existing vendor who wants to add additional products or services and you’re not sure if 2Checkout can support it? Still have questions even after reviewing our prohibited product list? Our Risk Department is here to get you the answers you need. Email risk@2checkout.com and provide us with your URL and we will happily review your product or service for acceptability. If you do not yet have a website that includes your product or service, then provide us with a detailed description as to what you wish to sell and we’ll follow up with information on whether we think we could support it. It is important to note that while we can give you a general idea as to whether or not we could support something based on a description, we will still need to review your URL before approving an account.
If you would like to make any adjustments to your products you may visit the edit products page in your account. This page provides you with access to change the price on multiple products at one time. To access the edit products page in our new vendor administration panel please login at the following url: https://www.2checkout.com/va/
Once you have logged in click on the ‘Products’ tab and then select the ‘Edit” sub category.
The edit products page provides you with the option to edit your products price, and the image associated with the product. When you are finished editing click the ‘Save Changes’ button, found at the bottom of the page.
The top of the edit products table provides you with links to sort your products by Image, 2CO ID, Product ID, Name and Price.
You are also provided with a search tool which you can use to search by 2CO ID, Product ID and Product Name.
You also have the option to display one product per column or select the advanced mode to choose to display the following:
Many of our suppliers have asked if they can customize their Plug and Play purchase links. This article will demonstrate an easy way to do so.
Below is an example of part of an HTML Snippet we may provide. This snippet can be found in the ‘Set Up Products’ section of your account by clicking the ‘HTML’ link for the appropriate product:
<a href="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase?sid=11&quantity=1&product_id=4"> PRODUCT NAME </a>
Once a supplier has copy and pasted this auto-generated code into their site, it will appear like this to a web browser:
Using the auto-generated code as a starting point, we can simply remove the link text and replace it with the HTML code for an image:
<a href="https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase?sid=11&quantity=1&product_id=4"><img src="XXXXXX" alt="PRODUCT NAME"></a>
Please make sure that you replace “XXXXXX” with a link to the desired purchase image hosted on your site, “PRODUCT NAME” with your actual product name or other appropriate text and “11″ with your own 2CO supplier ID.
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.
If 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.
