Can I Use 2CheckOut Without a Shopping Cart?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseHow do I make my 3rd party or Custom Cart work with the 2Checkout.com service?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseYour cart will need to support the Plug and Play cart parameters, 2CO’s custom cart parameters, or the 2CO-supported Authorize.net parameters. If using one of the latter two parameter sets, your cart will also need to support the New Cart Purchase Parameters.
Are Memberships or Subscriptions Supported?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseYes, 2CO does support membership-based or subscription-based products or services.
The purchase routine will pass back control to routines or pages on your site after the sale, so that you can easily receive payment for, then automate the set up of, member accounts for buyers.
You can bill them a one-time fee, or at a specified approved interval, using our recurring billing features.

How Can I Send an Email to My Customer So They Can Make a Payment?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseThe “Request Payment” feature exists primarily for invoicing purposes where it may be necessary to bill for a product or service that does not have a static price, or the final sales price is unknown.
“Request Payment” can also be utilized for billing for excessive server time for webhosts, or for services that need to be billed in addition to the product/pricing structure hard-coded via 2CO’s product listing.
You can use our Request Payment Options to have an invoice emailed to your customer. The email will have a link to a payment form where the buyer can make payment for your products.
You can find information on this in your account admin area under the section:
Helpful Links: Request payment from a client. Create Invoice
That’s all there is to it. Once the customer completes the order with their payment information, the sale will be logged to your account and email notification sent to you and the customer.
Are Transaction Fees Negotiable?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseWe cannot negotiate our discount rate.
All of our vendors are charged the same discount rate, and such a rate is not negotiable. These fees are quite modest, when one considers all of the services obtained:
- Support Staff
- Real-Time Gateway Access
- Industry-Leading Fraud Screening
- Customer Service Support
- Marketing Base
We are certain you can appreciate the expense of providing these services to you and our customers on a daily basis. Discounting our transaction rate would also force us to ‘discount’ the services and features provided to you and the customer, which is not something we are willing to do.
I Do Not Have a Web Site Yet, Can I Sign Up?
December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseIf you are establishing your domain, or your site is under construction, you can still open an account with 2CO. Many new suppliers prefer to include 2CO in their site design prior to actually being ready to sell.
Additionally, since your account is not charged for inactivity, there is no financial penalty for pro-actively establishing your account.
Once your site has been established, the Domain details can be updated by sending an email to Risk@2co.com or submitting a Support Ticket through our Help Desk.
Once your account is active and processing sales, to change the URL of your account their will be a $19.00 fee charged.

December 30th, 2006, by: knowledgebaseIt is important to the credit card associations 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”, a “third party 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.
