How to setup 2Checkout support

Pixaria Gallery allows you to sell your images and products using 2Checkout as a payment processor. 2Checkout is very easy to use and supports payment using most major credit cards though there is a set-up fee of $49.

Configuring 2Checkout's merchant settings

To get started, you will need to login to your 2Checkout admin account and go to the 'Look and feel' page a link to which is listed under 'Helpful links'. When you're in the look and feel page, enter the following details substituting your site address in place of 'your.pixaria.site':

Direct return: Test with this set to 'No' before you try it as 'Yes'

Approved URL: http://your.pixaria.site/index.pay2co.php

Pending URL: http://your.pixaria.site/index.pay2co.php

You will also need to enter a secret word which is used by Pixaria and 2Checkout to verify the authenticity of transactions and to prevent fraud.

Next, you need to select which currency you wish to use in 2Checkout by going to your 2Checkout account homepage and clicking on the link to 'Bank Account & Payment Details'. This will give you a form where you can configure which currency you wish to sell in.

Configuring 2checkout support in Pixaria

When your 2Checkout settings are correct, you will need to go the store settings control panel in your Pixaria website to configure it to receive information from 2Checkout. Enable 2Checkout by ticking the box in the 2Checkout settings section of the form and then enter your 2Checkout vendor ID and secret word.

Important notes

1. If your secret word is not entered exactly as you entered it on the 2Checkout website, transactions will fail.
2. Pixaria allows you to enable a demo mode for testing 2Checkout support.
3. If you enable 2Checkout support, Pixaria will not allow you to accept payment in Polish Zloty, Hungarian Forint, Singapore Dollars or Czech Koruny as these are not supported by 2Checkout.
