On March 6th, 2Checkout announced an advanced preview of our new Instant Notification Service (INS). We have since been refining the service, and will soon be releasing a new version, with streamlined message parameter definitions, and additional INS messages, such as:

• Order Created
• Recurring Stopped

A full set of updated streamlined and simplified documentation will be posted online soon. These documents will provide detailed information and multiple examples of the parameters that are passed back for each message.

This release will also include changes to some of the parameters and values passed with each INS message. If you implemented INS based on the advanced preview documentation it will be important to review these changes and edit your scripts.

In the new release, all messages will share one of 2 parameter set definitions: Item level or Invoice level. Additionally, some parameters have been added, including:

• customer_ip
• customer_ip_county
• ship_status
• ship_tracking_number

Detailed descriptions of the new parameters will be provided in the new documentation. Release details and new documentation will be posted online soon; we’d like to thank everyone again for their participation and feedback!

Please Note: The INS Opt-in can only be found within our new Vendor Area, located here. Use your regular username & password from the old Vendor Area to login.

Also, keep in mind that suppliers can make use of the Instant Notification Service Simulator within the developers.2Checkout area as an additional way to test their INS scripts.

2Checkout has introduced a new payments feature called payment profiles. Payment profiles allow you to create different profiles for each of your supported payment options such as different payment methods, accounts or addresses. You are able to edit, delete, or set a payment profile live in your account from the banking details page of your account.

After you have logged in to your account, please select the “Account” tab on your account homepage and then select “Bank Account” from the Account menu.

Your profiles will be listed under the Payment Profiles section on the right hand side of the page. To create a new payment profile please click on the “Banking Wizard” button and provide the requested information for the payment method you select. When you finish setting up your payment method you will be asked to enter a profile name on the Save Bank Account Profile page (optional) and select the Save Profile button.

Once created this payment profile will be displayed on your bank account page and will be set as live. You may edit this profile by clicking on the edit link which will route you back to the backing wizard to make your changes.
