Accept 2Checkout
without building the integration
2Checkout, now part of Verifone, sells as a merchant of record: it becomes the seller on the buyer's statement and takes on tax calculation, remittance and compliance in each market. For software and digital-goods businesses selling worldwide, that removes the VAT and sales-tax burden entirely.

What is 2Checkout?
- Coverage
-
Sells into most countries and territories worldwide, with a broad set of payment methods and billing currencies. The available set narrows by region, and 2Checkout's own documentation is authoritative on what your account can actually use.
Among the markets 2Checkout serves — their own list is authoritative (opens in new tab).
- Currencies
-
- USD
- EUR
- GBP
Among those supported. Which ones your account can charge in depends on its registered country.
- Fees
- Set and billed by 2Checkout, and published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top, at any volume.
- Official resources
- Website (opens in new tab) · Developer docs (opens in new tab)
Written against 2Checkout's own documentation on . This page deliberately states no fees, no counts and no completeness claims, because those change without notice — for anything you are about to build on, 2Checkout's own documentation (opens in new tab) is the authority.

2Checkout fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your 2Checkout transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What 2Checkout charges
- 2Checkout sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from 2Checkout changes what you pay 2Checkout and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. It settles in USD, EUR, GBP, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 4 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- 2Checkout publishes current rates on their pricing page (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with 2Checkout
A direct 2Checkout integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- Merchant code and secret key, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Instant Payment Notification with a signature, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side order status re-check against the 2Checkout API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when 2Checkout is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across 2Checkout and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
