2CheckOut



No Merchant Account Required

2Checkout is not a normal payment gateway, but rather becomes your authorized "retailer" and is included standard in all AgoraCart distributions. This is a good alternative for businesses just starting out, but who do not want to pay for a merchant account and/or their own gateway. This is not a person to person option like PayPal, nor is it a true gateway. 2Checkout is a great way to expand those capabilities, but be mindful of the items listed in the "misc" section below.

Cost: $49 One-time,
Transaction Fees: 5.5% sales commission and 45 cents per transaction
Limits: none listed
Payments Accepted: Online checks and major credit cards
Currency: US or Canadian Dollars
Merchant Region Serviced: USA & Canada
Entities Accepted: Individuals/Businesses.
Misc: an additional 5% reserve held out for 90 days for chargeback and dispute protection, then released to you. payments processed from 1st to 15th of month paid on or about the 16th of same month. payments processed form 16th to last day of month, paid on or about 1st of following month. Payments also not released until 2checkout can confirm that product/service was received by customer.
