We are happy to announce the launch of a new site just for web developers.
Developers.2Checkout is a collection of useful website development tools such as…
- Purchase Machine and Code Generator – An application created to allow you to easily test the 2Checkout purchase routine, as well as generate code that you can use to integrate with 2Checkout.
- Return Script – A script that you can use to test the 2Checkout return process. This will analyze and display useful information returned from our purchase routine when a sale is completed.
- Instant Notification System Simulator – An application created to allow you to simulate our Instant Notification System for integration development and testing.
Developers.2Checkout also features its own forum, so developers can talk among themselves and about some of the more advanced features 2CO supports.
These are just the first tools we’re releasing to help web developers integrate their sites or shopping carts with 2Checkout. Please take a look and let us know what you think.
P.S.
To all the non-developers who just want to get up & running today, our easy plug and play cart system and many recommended 3rd party carts still make integration easy! You don’t need to be a web developer to use 2CO, but if you are, your job just got a little easier.

The Instant Notification System Simulator is going to be very useful to us when we proceed to automate the actions on refund – we will obviously need to test/debug the functionality. Thank you!
It appears that right now we’d have to manually fill in all the fields (or use your defaults for a sample order, “creating” that order first). Here’s an idea: besides the existing functionality, also offer the simulator from within the vendor area – to simulate refunds, etc. of real orders that already exist in the system. This would save the “copy & paste effort” and would likely result in more reliable testing before the functionality is turned on (by the vendor) for very similar orders for real.

Thumbs up for the INS Simulator!

INS Simulator is really just a developers toy and a very poor substitute for something like PayPal’s Sandbox which can simulate a live transaction from start to finish.
Yes you can put in values in to the simulator that you think 2CO will return in a Live transaction and get your scripts to function on what YOU ASSUME will be correct. BUT you won’t know for sure until you run live transactions and then that’s where your problems are going to start.
From this point you’re going to have to deal with 2CO tech support which in my opinion they aren’t interested in you developing a 3rd party cart and are VERY SLOW in answering questions.
