Overview

Shoppers place orders through 2Checkout by using an ordering/checkout interface. 2Checkout offers a collection of purchase flows/funnels, enabling you to control the complexity of the ordering process, from the first page in which customers land to the final stage of the purchase. Use specific query parameters to control the purchase flow in combination with Buy Links.

Availability

Available to all 2Checkout accounts.
