Services

2CO clients (called "vendors") are web businesses offering products or services for sale. Each vendor agrees to supply their products to 2CO for immediate resale to any paying customer. Customers shop at the vendor's web site, then proceed to the 2CO order form to complete payment. 2CO integrates well with a variety of shopping cart software packages, including OsCommerce, CRE Loaded, Cube Cart, Mambo labs, X-cart, and Zen Cart.

For the convenience of international customers, 2CO accepts payment in numerous currencies. These include Australian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone, Euros, Hong Kong Dollars, Japanese Yen, New Zealand Dollars, Norwegian Krone, Swedish Krona, Swiss Francs, and US Dollars.

A sales odometer posted on the 2checkout.com web site suggests that 2CO completes approximately $550,000 in sales per day. 2CO's primary competitors are payment processor PayPal, and digital products retailer ClickBank. 2CO vendors are permitted to engage in affiliate marketing, but 2CO does not participate in the process of tracking commissions, or reporting earnings to affiliates.
