2Checkout Breaks out with Release of Direct Checkout

Pete Prestipino — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:55:00 GMT

Online payment solutions provider 2Checkout today announced the release of Direct Checkout, a customizable, cloud-based online payment technology that provides digital enterprises the functionality they need to accept customer payments from their websites in an alternative way.

What makes Direct Checkout so interesting is that it works as an overlay that collects a limited amount of payment information - while allowing the user to remain on the page they were visiting during the checkout process.

A less bulky/cumbersome checkout process will be appealing to merchants seeming a more seamless buying experience. The product is offered in 15 different languages and supports 26 currencies and eight payment methods.

2Checkout Gives Globally

Whether you're a believer that good will somehow equate to good profits or not, there are plenty of opportunities to promote a brand and make a positive difference in the world - simultaneously.

It's not easy to accomplish, but fortunately, there are plenty of corporate social responsibility initiatives which can pay big dividends and which serve as terrific examples. For example, e-commerce payment processor 2Checkout announced the launch of its Global Giving Initiative last week.

2Checkout, one of the steadier seeming companies in the digital landscape, has already funded 51 loans to entrepreneurs in 27 countries and committed $25,000 to the initiative for 2013. “Our Global Giving Initiative can have a truly worldwide impact,” says 2Checkout‘s Chief Marketing Officer and SVP of Sales, Sharon Wiles.

For 2Checkout, a leading provider of payment solutions that make global ecommerce possible, secure, and affordable, the Global Giving initiative is a celebration of entrepreneurs that empowers them to transform their business goals and dreams into reality.

Merchants can now create a customized checkout with a new feature from payment processing solution 2Checkout.

The Custom Checkout feature provides online retailers with the ability to tailor their checkout pages without giving up payment security. This can help merchants decrease cart abandonment rates, raise conversion rates and increase revenue because it creates a cohesive brand experience.

The feature also enables merchants to brand their checkout pages with desired colors, logo, font, custom background and contact information. This ensures that the checkout page matches the rest of the website, and also creates a more seamless buyer experience.

“Our customers have been asking for this feature and we are excited to provide the ability to extend their brand into their checkout page,” says Tom Dailey, CEO of 2Checkout. “This is the first of many improvements our customers will experience. We will continue to seek their feedback, uncover needs and prioritize our projects accordingly.”

Manage Payment Processing On The Go

Merchants who leverage 2Checkout to process online payments can now manage their accounts on the go.

Inexika recently launched the 2Checkout Vendor app for the iPhone and iPod touch, which is designed for vendors who would rather monitor their account from the palms of their hands instead of logging into their Web account on a browser.

The 2Checkout Vendor app is available in the iTunes App Store for $4.99. It enables merchants to view all purchases made by customers, sort specific groups of sales, search sales information and view details of selected orders – including customer information and invoice details. The app also allows merchants to issue refunds, as well as get in touch with customers by using the sales details.

The app uses 2Checkout's API and requires users to create a special API username. Merchants can create a 2Checkout API username by logging into their Web account, clicking on the account tab and user management sub-tab, and then choosing the create username link. Then, a new username must be created that has API Access and API Updating selected for the Access type.

Back Office Admin API from 2Checkout

Payments solutions provider 2Checkout has added an application programming interface (API) to its e-commerce system for online retailers.

The back office admin API is a publicly accessible set of routines designed to allow existing clients, as well as developers interested in marketing unique 2Checkout cart solutions, the ability to access account, product and online sales information without logging in to 2Checkout.

According to Chris Daly, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, “The back office admin API provides a new layer of flexibility for online retailers using 2Checkout, by enabling users to remotely interact and gather reconciliation and product level data from their account without logging in to gather data from our admin area and manually exporting records back to their system. Accessing sales data through a preferred accounting system and alleviating the necessity to login multiple times per day greatly adds to our system’s flexibility,” Daly concluded.

Currently, active 2Checkout retailers and certified partners interested in integrating 2Checkout into popular open-source shopping cart packages can request access to the API.
