Hi
am new to the site and just noticed on the right column the anouncement “Now accepting Paypal”:
Does that mean that once I signed up for a vendor checkout account,I dont need to sign up for paypal seperately(at their website) ?
Also,does 2Checkout provide a way to pre-populate customer’s order page(as with paypal)?
My gratitude in advance.

Kylen - PayPal is a payment method that your customers can choose during the 2checkout process. If you sign up for a 2Checkout account you will be able to offer PayPal to your customers once they have accessed the 2Checkout purchase pages. The sales will be created in the 2Checkout system just like a credit card sales or a online check sale. The only difference will be that the payment method is PayPal. You do not need to signup for a PayPal account if this solution works for you. If you wish to have a separate PayPal account and offer customers that option as well you can. Signing up with 2Checkout only allows you to offer PayPal as a payment option, it does not create a new PayPal account for you.
You can pre-populate the fields on the 2Checkout order pages. To do this take a look at the parameter set article that you are using on your website and pass in the parameters under the section “To populate the billing information page you may pass in” and “To populate the shipping information page you may pass in”.
You can find the parameter set articles here.

Thank you joel for your clarifications,appreciate it.
I have already designed 2 payment forms(1 for paypal,1 for 2checkout. Now I think I can contend with one,labelled Paypal/2Checkout or do you think I can still use those forms with the Paypal one point to your paypal section(and same thing for 2CO).Am just not sure if it will be confusing to the customer having to click on a paypal button and found themselves on 2CO.
Appreciate your opinion on this !

PayPal is just another payment method option for the customer on our pages so there is not a PayPal section of the 2Checkout pages. I suggest you remove the PayPal form all together and just use the 2Checkout form to avoid any confusion. You may wish to add some text to your website that lists the available payment methods that 2Checkout offers so the customers know they will have the option to pay with a PayPal account if they wish.

Thank you joel for your support!
Just one last question if you would not mind,
Regarding the single page checkout(i know it has no paypal)
would passing parameters in the url work like demo code below or I need to use the POST variable from a form?
https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/purchase?sid=11&merchant_order_id&cart_order_id=6456138887&product_id=4&quantity=1&tco_currency=CAD&total=212.52&x_receipt_link_url=http://www.order.com/order.php”Am not sure all the above params are required.

Your welcome Kylen. The single page purchase routine can be accessed by using the following purchase URL:
https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/spurchase?
You may use the POST method and build a form or you can use the GET method and access the purchase pages with a URL as in your example.
You are mixing parameter sets in your example URL which you do not want to do. If you will be creating products inside the 2Checkout account and using the plug and play parameters then the 3 required parameters you need to pass are sid, product_id and quantity.
If you are using a 3rd party cart and the 3rd party cart parameter set then the 3 required parameters you need to pass are sid, cart_order_id and total.
You do not want to mix the required parameters and pass cart_order_id along with product_id and quantity. If you need to send a order number in then you will just us the merchant_order_id parameter.

I do not use a 3rd party cart.I may not use the plug and play feature.I sell only one specified item(a subscription).The way i used to do it with Paypal is to send info from my form to paypal and that’s all about it.info like
item_name(product)
amount(price)
so i dont know what is the correct parameter set for one item coming from a form with a set passed price and product name.
Am almost getting it
thank you for your patience with me !

I’ve removed your duplicate post, so we don’t get confused while maintaining two different threads on the same subject. I hope you don’t mind.
Since your product is a recurring product. This is very easy. Just replace “XXXXXX” with your supplier ID and “XX” with your 2CO-assigned product ID.
https://www.2checkout.com/ checkout/spurchase?sid=XXXXXX&quantity=1&product_id=XXThis should all be on a single line, unfortunately the code will not display correctly in this comment.
This is simply the HTML 2CO provides when you add your products to our admin panel with the traditional purchase routine replaced with the single page routine.
