I’d love to see some of our suppliers respond here, but I’ll cover some of the basics.

First, it needs to be pointed out that 2Checkout and PayPal are not competitors. Our services compliment each other. 2CO even accepts PayPal as a payment option.

Some will prefer 2CO over PayPal or vice versa, depending on their needs, but many will use both.

Depending on nationality, some vendors can receive Foreign Currency Electronic Funds Transfers (FCEFT) at their local bank, in their own currency, when PayPal may require a U.S. bank account. Many international vendors who cannot acquire a PayPal account are able to sign up with 2CO. For some vendors, a 2CO account is their only access to customers who prefer to use their PayPal funds when making online purchases.

Some vendors, who could have both a 2CO and PayPal account, may decide to limit themselves to 2CO, because it allows them to accept PayPal orders without maintaining a separate account.

2CO’s fraud solution is generally considered more complete. For more information about the process, you may want to read Real Time vs Time Delayed Fraud Detection. PayPal-funded 2CO sales will go through both PayPal and 2CO’s fraud review process.

Another substantial benefit 2CO offers to both vendors and customers is the ability to contact us at any time. Our Customer Care department is always open and may be contacted by telephone or the support ticket system at any time. Just click on the “Help” tab above for all of our contact information.

2CO offers a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, so you can try the service out for yourself and see if it meets your needs.

If you have any questions please let us know.

PayPal transaction fees are not applied on top of 2Checkout transaction fees. The transaction fees on sales made by the PayPal payment method will be the same as any other payment method offered from 2Checkout. (5.5% + $0.45 per transaction) The total transaction fees on a $200 sale would be $11.45.
