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.

2Checkout in summary

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.

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.

Integration

What PaymentHood handles for you

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
Setup

Connecting 2Checkout takes three steps

1

Open your 2Checkout account

Register directly with 2Checkout and complete their onboarding. Funds settle from 2Checkout into your own bank account — PaymentHood never holds merchant money.

2

Add the credentials to PaymentHood

Paste your 2Checkout API credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They are stored server-side and never exposed to your storefront.

3

Enable it at checkout

Install the PaymentHood plugin for your platform, paste your PaymentHood API key, and 2Checkout appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

2Checkout is the legal seller for the transaction, so it calculates, collects and remits sales tax and VAT in each market and appears on the buyer's statement. You avoid registering for tax in every country you sell into — the reason it is popular with SaaS and digital goods.

Cost and ownership. Merchant-of-record pricing is well above a plain gateway's, and the customer relationship, refunds and chargebacks sit partly with 2Checkout rather than with you.

Rarely. The model is built for digital goods and subscriptions, where tax treatment is the hard part. For physical goods a conventional gateway is usually both cheaper and simpler.

No. 2Checkout bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
