Columbus, Ohio – 2Checkout.com, Inc. (2Checkout), a leading global payments solutions provider, has added an application programming interface (API) to its robust e-commerce system for online retailers to immediately integrate.

2Checkout’s back office admin API is a publically 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 Senior Vice President - Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Daly, “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.

2Checkout will showcase its full service e-commerce solution at Internet Retailer’s Web Design and Usability Conference February 15-17 in Orlando, Florida. Currently, active 2Checkout retailers and certified partners interested in integrating 2Checkout into popular open-source shopping cart packages can request access to the API.

These recent additions boost 2Checkout s available international purchase currencies to 17. In addition, 2CO added the Rand (ZAR) to its remittance currency list, making it possible for the company s South African-based merchants to be paid in ZAR by wire transfer, raising 2CO s overall payout currencies to 25.

According to Vic Cleary, 2Checkout s E-Commerce Strategy Manager, Requests for access to additional currencies continue to come in from international vendors, indicative of the robust growth of online, internationally-based businesses.

Online shoppers now have the option to pay with PIN debit through PaySecure

Columbus, OH, May 6, 2009 2Checkout (2CO) announced today that some U.S. online shoppers can start using PIN-debit to purchase products through businesses using their e-commerce service with the integration of Acculynk’s PaySecure.

PaySecure, a sophisticated encrypted PIN-Debit payment option is the first software-only service of its kind in the U.S. The service is fully automated and unique in comparison to traditional online payment methods and fills a nice niche for 2CO.

Signature debit is a preferred payment method for many 2Checkout customers, but paying by PIN-Debit has never been an option until today. The addition expands 2CO’s market of potential buyers, who prefer to use PIN debit, or have PIN-only debit cards.

Here’s how it works. PaySecure’s graphical PIN-pad appears during checkout when the system determines a customer’s debit card can be used with a PIN and the card is a member of Acculynk’s network. Customers are given the choice to enter their PIN on the PaySecure PIN-pad or run the transaction as signature debit. If they choose PaySecure, they enter each digit of their PIN into a unique, scrambling graphical PIN-pad by mouse, making the process undetectable by online scammers. Upon completion, they click submit and receive payment confirmation.

Unlike other alternative payment methods on the market, PaySecure is fully automated and will not require new passwords, log-ins, or redirection to another website for payment. Consumers will only need their card and four-digit PIN.

PaySecure is in a pilot stage and supported by a select group of debit card networks, with additional networks coming soon. 2CO’s timely integration falls in line with the news surrounding recent rollbacks of credit accounts and credit limits from leading financial institutions. The news suggests an increased number of consumers will be forced to rely on their PIN-Debit cards in the future. Unprecedented adjustments to the credit market have been made by financial institutions that will inevitably impact customer buying behaviors and more than likely result in an increased use of PIN-Debit.

By adopting PaySecure, 2CO has not only expanded its payment methods but has also provided an option for customers directly impacted by the credit crunch who now have limited choices but still prefer to purchase online.

(Columbus, Ohio): 2Checkout.com (2CO), a leading online authorized reseller integrated by multiple carts has expanded its global reach by adding 14 additional language translations to its e-commerce service. This latest feature integration provides online customers immediate, one-click translations of checkout screens and pre-set language default options for online retailers linking sites to 2CO s turnkey e-commerce option providing seamless transitions for customers.

According to CFO, Kristin Dach, 2Checkout is staying true to our commitment of continuously diversifying our features to remain focused on improving our customer experience for an expanding global audience that has been imperative to the historic growth of our company. Offering our checkout service in multiple languages is a step toward improving our overall customer experience and boosting conversion rates. 2CO launched the beta in mid-December experiencing positive feedback from vendors.

In addition to English, the new purchase routine will include Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, European Spanish, Latin Spanish, and Swedish. A link to a live demonstration of the upgraded translation feature is available at http://www.2checkout.com/

The new feature displayed in native characters and added to the top right corner of 2CO s purchase routine is designed to provide immediate translation of 2CO s standard English version to one of fourteen additional languages with a single click. The feature also empowers 2CO retailers to choose a default language of choice and point their customer traffic to regional or native language checkout pages designed to improve usability.

We are always looking for ways to improve our customer experience for the online retailers utilizing our service, as well as the customers visiting their sites, Dach continued. Optimizing our purchase routine through continuous A/B testing and adding new features helps better align our checkout with the needs of all our customers.
