Click here to create an account with 2Checkout.

Once you have created your account, choose Edit Payment Providers in the store admin settings and click modify for 2Checkout. Make sure the Enabled box is checked, and enter the account number for your 2Checkout account. You do not need to, nor should you enter your secret 2Checkout password.

In includes.asp of your vsadmin folder set use2checkoutv2=TRUE to use 2Checkout's V2 System, just add it to the list if it's not already present.

Now log into your 2Checkout account. You should see a list of links and choose the one entitled "Look & Feel" and click on "settings".

Make sure "Direct Return" is set to No and in the box for Approved URL you will need the URL of your thanks.asp file, typically http://www.yourstore.com/thanks.asp

That's about all the set up entails.

Once you have products added to your store, you will need to upload those products to 2Checkout too. In your store product admin page you should see a button "2Checkout Inventory", clicking there will download your products to a .csv file in the format required by 2Checkout. In your 2Checkout admin area click on the "products" link next to "To view, edit, or create Products" and then on "Upload New Products". Browse to where you saved the .csv file, upload and you should be all set.

NOTE
2Checkout are now very strict about text that may appear / may not appear on your site regarding your relationship with 2Checkout. You can change the text of the "Check totals and proceed to process payment." in your language file. However, some people will use more than one payment system, and would not want 2Checkout specific text appearing for other payment processors. In that case change this line in your vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp . . .

xxChkCmp="Check totals and proceed to process payment."

. . . to

if Request.Form("payprovider")="2" then
xxChkCmp="2Checkout specific blurb<br>And a disclaimer etc."
else
xxChkCmp="Check totals and proceed to process payment."
end if
 

2Checkout allows you to receive orders via Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Diners, JCB and debit cards with the Visa, Mastercard logo.

Once a customer has added an item or items to their shopping cart and clicked on "Checkout" they are taken to a form to enter their personal details, once this is completed the customer can check their purchase total, and if they are in agreement will be forwarded to the secure 2Checkout server to give their credit card details. Most of the 2checkout form is pre-populated by the details given on the store form so it only takes a moment to add the credit card number in a secure environment, and be sent back to the store again.

When the transaction has gone through, the buyer will receive a confirmation email from 2Checkout and the seller will be informed that there has been an order on the store.
