Overview

Dynamic products are a mechanism designed to enable you to pass purchase information directly from your system into 2Checkout without first configuring the products in your Control Panel or via API. Bypass the need for handling 2Checkout's catalog products and create orders with product information sent dynamically via API or through ConvertPlus URL parameters. Receive payments from your customers by using the products defined in your own system, or in your shopping cart applications.

Availability

This functionality is available only for merchants on the 2Sell and 2Subscribe accounts (PSP business model), for orders that are placed both through ConvertPlus/InLine ordering engines and API calls.

Dynamic Products Parameters

2Checkout allows you to create orders and receive payments by using the following product types: 

• PRODUCT - Item purchased by the customer. It is mandatory to send the name and price of the product item.
  
  • Products can have pricing and recurring options assigned.
• TAX - Additional fee/charge that will be considered 'Tax' in the ordering process. Taxes may have recurring options assigned.
• SHIPPING - Item that contains the name and amount corresponding to the shipping method.
• COUPON - Item that contains the discount to be applied to the entire order.

Orders with dynamic information allow you to control, without an existing setup, the following product attributes:

• Price
  
  • You have full control over the price applied to the purchase. Example: $20 price for product A.
• Product pricing options (together with name and prices)
  
  • You can pass the pricing options information dynamically. Example: A pricing option named users that adds a surcharge of $5 for option 3-5 users, and $10 for option 5-10 users.
• Product purchase type
  
  • Set the purchase type (tangible or intangible). Example: intangible for products delivered electronically.
• Recurring options
  
  • Set the product recurring options that include the contract length and unit, cycle length and unit, and recurring amount to be charged. Example: a recurring charge of $20, on a monthly basis for the next 2 years.

Reporting dynamic products

Orders placed with dynamic product information are included in your account reports and can be found in your Order Search area of the Control Panel, and in the Products Reports based on which your sales invoices are generated.

Dynamic products are not displayed in the Products section of the 2Checkout Control Panel.

How to place orders with dynamic information

Orders with dynamic products via API

Place orders via 2Checkout's latest API version and send the product information as part of the call. Create orders with dynamic product information, that contain the following product types: product, tax, shipping, and coupon.

Requirements 

Product code must be sent as null. The order currency must match the payment currency, otherwise, an error is thrown. The isDynamic parameter of the Items object must be true.

Limitations 

Placing an order with both catalog and dynamic product information is not possible. Recurring options can be set only for purchase type PRODUCT and TAX.

How to test it?

You can place test orders via API with dynamic product information. Set the Payment details type to TEST in order to create an order in a test environment.

Place your first order with dynamic products

Read the documentation for guidance:

• JSON-RPC
• SOAP
• REST

Orders with dynamic products via convertplus

Use ConvertPlus to create a dynamic ordering process by passing the product information to ConvertPlus through buy links parameters. With ConvertPlus dynamic ordering, you control the product name, price, recurring and pricing options, and many other product properties.  

Learn more about ConvertPlus buy link parameters and dynamic ordering.

Alternatively, you can generate buy links for dynamic products directly from your Control Panel. Learn more about ConvertPlus dynamic ordering via Control Panel.

Use the convertTrial method to convert a trial to a paid subscription. In the eventuality of a conversion failure, you can use convertTrial again for the same trial subscription only after you let 24 hours pass since the initial attempt. The 2Checkout system attempts to automatically convert trials before they expire to full subscriptions unless you made an attempt that failed less than 24 hours before the scheduled expiration deadline.

In case the trial conversion fails due to a transaction issue, the 2Checkout system sends unfinished payment follow-up emails to customers, provided that you set up lead management for your account.

Overview

License Change Notification (LCN) works as a message service generating automatic subscription notifications for your 2Checkout account. Use the notifications to process subscription data into your own management systems by synchronizing it with 2Checkout account events. 2Checkout generates notifications for subscription update and expiration events (including past-due notifications).

How can I use LCN?

Use LCN to automate back-end functions for your services, including but not limited to:

• Creating end-user accounts
• Providing access to acquired services
• Manage subscriptions
• Fulfilling purchases
• Engaging subscribers
• Converting trials to paid subscriptions
• Cutting access to a delinquent account

Webhook asynchronicity

2Checkout’s webhooks (IPN and LCN) operate asynchronously. 

How does LCN work?

1. Create one or multiple LCN listener pages on your website. 2Checkout sends LCNs to publicly accessible servers.
2. Configure the LCN settings of your 2Checkout account to point to the URLs of your default/preferred listener pages. Our system performs a GET request against the URL you fill in and expects an HTTP 200 code as a response. Make sure that your URL can be queried via a GET request from our webserver  IPs.
3. Set up multiple URLs if you require more listener pages, such as in testing scenarios in which you don’t want to use your default LCN listener. 
4. 2Checkout sends subscription notifications to the endpoints you defined when subscribers change specific subscription details, using secure (HTTPS) POST.
5. 2Checkout uses an HMAC_SHA signature to validate the HTTPS POST. Calculate the signature using data sent and your 2Checkout account’s secret key, following the instructions included in this article.
6. Your custom LCN listener scripts consume the notifications and process the info received.
7. Configure your LCN listener to output a read receipt confirmation on the listener page after receiving a valid LCN message. This article includes guidance on how to generate the confirmation.
8. In the absence of a confirmation from one of your LCN listeners, 2Checkout continues to send notifications to that endpoint, according to the failure retry process, until you provide a valid response.
9. The 2Checkout system regularly checks the status of subscriptions to identify expired items and modifications. 2Checkout then sends notifications for expirations as well as for updates that occurred in the last 24 hours prior to the moment when it performs the check. 2Checkout does not re-send notifications for the same event unless the status of the subscription changes or it identifies additional modifications.

Set up the default LCN URL

1. Log into your 2Checkout account.
2. Navigate to Dashboard → Integrations → Webhooks and API.
3. Click on the LCN Settings tab.
4. Click on the Edit button to edit an existing URL corresponding to your default LCN listener or click on the Add LCN URL button to add a URL corresponding to your default LCN listener in the LCN URL field.
5. Save your settings by clicking on the Update button at the bottom of the page.
6. 2Checkout checks the validity of the URLs in terms of access to ensure that notifications reach your LCN listener without any issues.

Set up multiple LCN URLs

You can set up multiple endpoints for your LCN notifications, for scenarios in which you have multiple Internal Systems that require receiving this information. You can set up eight (8) URLs for your notifications.

Navigate to LCN settings under Integrations → Webhooks and API, in your Merchant Control Panel Dashboard. Select the LCN settings tab and click on the Add LCN URL button to create an additional URL configuration for your notifications.

To find out more about the NOTIFICATION_URL functionality, read more here.

Debug LCN

To view or debug LCN notifications during the integration phase, place TEST orders.

Alternatively, search for specific subscriptions in the Subscriptions area. On the subscription details page, you have the option to resend notifications. You can also see how many LCN notifications have been sent so far for a subscription. Opt to reissue the LCN for debugging and 2Checkout re-generates and re-sends the LCN, but also displays a copy of the content sent in the control panel.

Secure your LCN script 

For security reasons, 2Checkout recommends that you restrict access to the LCN script. 

Overview

Multi-product promotions allow you to offer percentage-based discounts to your shoppers, based on the number of unique products added to the shopping cart. They apply automatically as long as the order includes the products assigned to the promotion.

How to configure a multi-product promotion

1. Enter a promotion title and description. Promotion names are visible to your shoppers if the order meets the promotion criteria.
   
   • Add localized promotion names for any of the supported languages. The 2Checkout shopping cart automatically displays localized promotion names based on the selected shopping cart language.
2. Define the time interval when you want the promotion to be active. To start a promotion as soon as you activate it, leave the start date empty. If you don't set an end date, the promotion will stop when the maximum number of orders has been reached or will continue to run if the maximum number of orders is set to unlimited.
3. You can restrict promotions to a specific number of orders, or set them to run indefinitely
4. Define a minimum order value threshold. Choose whether to apply the promotion to any order or only to orders exceeding a certain value (including taxes). To set a threshold, choose Custom, define the threshold and select the default currency. Orders using currencies without a threshold are automatically converted to the default threshold currency, using exchange rates applicable at the moment of purchase. 
5. Select whether or not to activate the promotion as soon as you save it.
6. Configure the discount depending on the number of unique products added to the shopping cart. Click Add rule, enter a number of unique products to be detected in the cart and set the corresponding discount. You can add multiple scenarios for different numbers of unique products. If you define multiple promotions or scenarios, 2Checkout automatically applies the one with the highest discount, provided that the order meets the promotion criteria.
7. Assign products to the promotion. Multi-products promotions only apply to products in the shopping cart that are not subject to another regular promotion or cross-selling discount at the time of purchase!
8. Save the promotion when you're done configuring it.
