2Checkout Reviews

Pros

The best advantage is the TDR rate is much lower than their biggest competitors in the payment gateway industry like Stripe. Also 2checkout provides native support for card details entry on merchant website, which helps to build trust, customers doesn't get redirected to their gateway page to enter card details, this is what I love about it.

Cons

Lack of marketing, Lack of innovation, I feel 2checkout hasn't progressed that much of stripe, their woocommerce github repo is almost 2 years old, no sign of interest in fixing bugs etc.

Alternatives Considered

PayPal and Stripe

Reasons for Choosing 2Checkout

Skrill TDR is very higher

Pros

The best part for us is that 2Checkout can wire transfer your fund right to your bank account.

Cons

I didn't like the UI/UX also that the company can accidentally announce that they do not support certain types of credit cards such as MasterCard.

Reasons for Switching to 2Checkout

At that moment 2Checkout was a good fit for the price and the value they provide.

Pros

When I started using it in 2017 it was a better company with great "how to" videos and great support.

Cons

They have been sold twice sine we started using it and each time has been a downgrade.
They no longer seem to care about the users.

Pros

This platform is available in many countries where shopify or Etsy payments aren't available, it manages a lot of different currencies and is very easy to make many processes automatic.

Cons

It's more a dislike from our own customers than from the platform, the fraud avoidance works really well but sometimes the clients got away with an invalid claim.

Alternatives Considered

PayPal

Reasons for Choosing 2Checkout

We wanted to expand out store, we had all setup but the platforms wouldn't allow many of the currencies we wanted to work with, like the quetzal from Guatemala.

Reasons for Switching to 2Checkout

The amount of currencies was the principal, the fact that the setup with our store was really easy was also considered and, finally, the fact that we were able to send out money to many different countries and banks made us decide.

Pros

Previously we are using Paypal for our Digital Store. But we face lots of issues like the end customers not using Paypal, Countries boundaries, failed orders, etc...So 2checkout comes in this alternative and gives us 100% satisfaction at that moment.

Cons

The Admin Panel interface needs some work for User Experience, they have the bulk of options and sometimes you feel hard to find such options. The Fraud detection is great but they charge too much amount if any chargeback is received. Till now I am not able to calculate how their chargebacks are counted.

Pros

Once you have been authorized to use it, you have many options to configure and the checkout pages are quite nice.

Cons

The most painful authorization process with the most ridiculous rules, when you write to support there can be three or four different people answering in the same thread, and it seems you never get an answer. I had to threaten to abandon the thing entirely so that they would finally help me step over some ridiculous obstacle of their own making. Its almost as if they dont really want you to use their service.

They put stupid limitations like you have to give them ONE url from which the purchases will come. So what if I have two subdomains?

Then to set it up you have to really put yourself into the documentation and figure things out by yourself, like using the signing service for checkout arguments. It's really vital to their company yet it is quite cryptic to understand.

Also, I finally couldnt use it because it didnt allow me to withdraw to a US or EU bank account, rather it forced me to withdraw to my own country's bank account, which is a no go in the moment.

Alternatives Considered

PayPal and Stripe

Reasons for Switching to 2Checkout

For financial limitations associated with my country.

Pros

It's very easy to create a product and manage its pricing.

Cons

They don't allow to change the bank easily for payment transfers and more than one bank is also not allowed.

Alternatives Considered

Stripe and Squarespace

Reasons for Switching to 2Checkout

It was easy to integrate and their support is excellent

Pros

Not a single thing to like about this company

Cons

- ZERO KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT
- IRRELEVANT ANSWERS
- BREACH AND MISUSE OF IDENTITY, DOCUMENTS.
- FINALLY, NOT A SO CALLED 'PAYMENT PROCESSOR'

Alternatives Considered

PayPal

Pros

It's really a good solution for ecommerce payment processing. Easy to set up and also can be used from most countries which is not the case for other tools.

Cons

Nothing much. It's quite all rounded and a good solution

Pros

One thing I appreciate about 2Checkout is that it offers a wide range of payment options, including credit and debit cards, PayPal, and more. This has made it easy for my customers to make purchases and has helped to increase sales. It is widely accepted and has a trust factor with my customers. The platform is also relatively easy to use and navigate, which has made it simple for me to manage my transactions. Setting it up is easy as long as you have all the details, tax info, identity cards etc ready.

Cons

However, there are a few cons that I have encountered while using 2Checkout. One issue is that the fees for using the platform can be quite high, especially for smaller businesses. Another issue is that the customer service is not always as responsive as I would like, which can be frustrating when trying to resolve issues or get questions answered. Finally, the platform has experienced occasional outages or glitches, which can be frustrating for both me and my customers.

Pros

The ease of use and how quick it processes the payments; customers can pay for their goods at a glance

Cons

Perhaps the revenue that needs to be credited to the app could be less; but we're aware that it depends on the transactional volume

Alternatives Considered

Square Payments

Pros

I am located In India and and I was looking for credit debit card online global solution and you know what 2checkout full-fully my dream. On-site payment solution as well as offsite payment solution for USD payment. Use was able to make their payment with credit and debit card on-site. I can say the best and wonderful experience.

Cons

Right now if user cancel the payment or subscription, the same not reflecting on 2checout account. I need to check it manually every day. I think 2checkout should work on their APIs

Pros

The 2Checkout helps a lot with the online payment management. It is so much intuitive e gives you plenty options about products and services that you can offer, integrating all of them in so many plataforms and transations.

Cons

It is kind hard to implement at first and sometimes something in the process could give you some trouble., which is why I think that the support could be a little faster.

Pros

2checkout is great & reliable. I've been using this for almost 2 years & their service is great so far.

Cons

They've a 2FA system which is kind of broken. Also there's no chat support, only email support. But they respond quickly on working days.

Pros

Always great customer support, when requested, quickly provide solutions to problems. Having someone else handle the payments just allows us to worry about other aspects of the business, especially, makes it easier when having clientele from all over the world!

Cons

Quite a lot of double charges have occurred on separate occasions - basically all clients in a couple hour span got double charged, and the amount of accidents only confirms that it was definitely not the case of human error. Everything was solved quickly on their part, but it created inconvenience for the clients.

Pros

It’s easy to set up, and allows us to enable subscription based offerings on our social networks with a robust platform that the current script didn’t support.

Cons

The support is a bit slower than some others I’ve tried, but overall, still not tealky a con as much as something to be aware of.

Pros

First of all 2Checkout support team are awesome for their support. Their payment gateway solution is more awesome. It's fully hassle-free.
My billing team likes 2Checkout for hassle-free.
Now my company can take payments with PayPal and credit cards from my clients directly on my website without any hassle.
Also, they have a perfect dashboard for use.
I'm very satisfied using 2Checkout.
I hope they keep up the good things and word.

Cons

I liked their Instant Notification System (INS) and Instant Payment Notification (IPN) most.
The more awesome thing is clients can easily manage their order, subscription, invoice, and payment details from https://www.2co.com/.

Pros

So far the service was very reliable. Flexible fulfillment options, flexible configuration. I recommend it to others.

Cons

Withdrawal options are very not flexible. I wish Avangate would allow multiple withdrawal ways adjustable on-the-fly.

Pros

Easy checkout, concise sales reports and clear payment dates. The payoneer card integration is really great as well. The Google authenticator 2 factor login also makes me feel secure regarding access to my dashboard and funds.

Cons

The rigorous application process is lengthy and frustrating. Building a successful business online is very difficult and the last thing you want to feel as an Entrepreneur is to be subjected to scrutiny that makes you feel like you're a criminal when you just want to do business the right way. They need to make it more fluid and customer centred.

Pros

Avangate's Absolute Lo Jack software helps to track your laptop (or other devices) by simply downloading their software on the device. How convenient is this?!

Cons

If the device is turned off I think the software stops tracking it, so if they do not turn on I still can't locate my device.

Pros

- it works well
- easy invoicing
- it's fairly cheap
- it's based in Holland, so perfect to avoid VATMOSS issues
- great support

Cons

The software stack can be a bit overwhelming at first; the UI could use a brush up here and there, but overall no major negative points.

Pros

The integration with my page was so easy and the process to get the service, they were always in communication with me, takes a little more time that I expected, but at the end the waiting was value

Cons

The dashboard it's no so friendly, sometimes I feel that I can't find the things that I want to view easily.

Pros

Used when Paypal didn't work properly, seemed to be a great alternative!

Cons

No complaints, it seemed to work well for us.

Pros

It's great for international merchants and has no setup and application fees, great developer tools available.

Cons

Not suitable for card present merchants nor for the high-risk merchants. Great for small businesses delocalized.

Pros

It was the easiest product to use. Implementing products, changing prices all at once, and implemented the Invoice part is the best thing that they can do.

Cons

I like least that we can not use the software for all our business, but we need to have different accounts for every business that we have.
