2Checkout is a popular alternative to a traditional bank merchant account that enables online merchants to accept payment via credit cards. Unlike traditional bank merchant accounts, 2Checkout is an affordable solution for the startup online business owner and is available for a low one-time fee of $49. The application process is easy to understand: no complicated forms to fill out or banking approvals to obtain. The only restriction is that they require that you set up individual merchant accounts for each website you own so if you have several domains, each will require its own 2Checkout.com account. Not the ideal solution for prolific info-preneurs with multiple sites but it is still cheaper than obtaining a full internet merchant account.
2Checkout is easy to use and integrate into your existing website or shopping cart service (like Marketer’s Choice). There are a few things that can’t be supported. I have several clients who sell recurring online memberships through Marketer’s Choice but recurring payments are not supported with 2Checkout. Some opted to upgrade to a full merchant account, others chose to integrate their recurring memberships directly with 2Checkout.
