Overview

Use this object to create new orders and collect payments from shoppers using catalog products defined in your Control Panel.

For orders that require physical delivery, if no shipping methods are provided, 2Checkout will add to cart your account's default shipping configuration.

For more details about how to be PCI compliant before accepting CC payments, see this page.

Supported payment methods/flows

  1. Credit/Debit cards: Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro, Amex, Discover, Dankort, Carte Bleue, JCB. 2Checkout supports local Brazilian cards.
  2. PayPal and PayPal Express
  3. Purchase Order
  4. Wire
  5. Check
  6. WeChat Pay
  7. iDEAL
  8. TEST orders
  9. Free orders (no payment information required)
  10. Previous order references - In addition to the payment methods enumerated above, 2Checkout also supports 1-click purchase flows in which you use valid previous order references belonging to returning customers to pay for new orders with their previously used cards and PayPal accounts.

Requirements

For credit card orders placed using 2Checkout API 5.0 or a more recent version, you need to pass through additional parameters that support the 3D Secure flow. 3D Secure works by redirecting customers to pages provided by their banks, where they need to enter additional security tokens or password to trigger the completion of the charge. By using 3D Secure, you get additional protection from liability for fraudulent card payments, with customers having to go through an extra layer of authentication.

Send the following parameters in the placeOrder call, as part of the PaymentDetails object:

Parameters Description
Vendor3DSReturnURL Required (string)
  URL address to which customers are redirected after the 3DS details get validated by the bank and the order is successfully authorized.
