Changes to Instant Notification Service
April 1st, 2008, by: richon 2CO StaffOn 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:

- 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!

Advance Preview of 2CO Instant Notification Service
March 6th, 2008, by: joel 2CO Staff2Checkout is pleased to offer an advance preview of our Instant Notification Service (INS). This service has long been a top request, and we believe there are thousands of 2CO vendors who will benefit greatly from this new service. We wanted to get this in front of you, our vendors, as soon as possible so that we can quickly improve the documentation and support of this service.
INS is, in plain terms, a service which will post sets of cgi parameters to any URL you specify. These posts are each a message containing all the information you need about a specific event (such as when a recurring order re-bills successfully).
This service currently includes the ability to opt-in and receive messages for the following events:
- Recurring Order Stopped
- Recurring Installment Billing Failed
- Recurring Installment Billing Succeeded
- Order Refunded
- Order Canceled
- Order Fraud Status Changed
So what can you do with these messages? Well, please remember that you are getting the very first look at these messages, we do not yet have any prepared add-ons for carts you may be using. We are hopeful that several of the carts out there will be responsive and create add-ons which read in the information from the message and use it to automate some inventory or customer access tasks, making your lives easier. We also hope some of our very talented vendors will create message receiving tools on their own and share them with our community.
We, for our part, will be contacting carts and encouraging them to integrate INS as well as creating some example CGI scripts that our vendors can use as a starting point for integrating these messages into their systems.
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.
