# 2Checkout review (2026): is it worth it? > Global checkout, billing and tax handling for digital sellers Checked Nov 13, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. 2Checkout, now run by Verifone, is a payment platform for businesses that sell software, digital goods and online services worldwide. It provides hosted checkout and buy links, subscription billing, a product catalog and a merchant control panel. Depending on the account type, it can also act as the merchant of record that handles taxes and invoicing. - **Category:** Selling Digital Products - **Made by:** Verifone - **Website:** https://www.2checkout.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a published fee, as it is only in your contract. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing 2Checkout's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Hosted checkout and buy links:** The ConvertPlus cart takes buyers through a hosted checkout from a generated buy link, and an InLine cart can open on the seller's own page. Product details can also be passed in through URL parameters. - **Payment methods and currencies:** The docs say the platform accepts more than 45 payment methods and more than 100 display and billing currencies. - **Subscription billing:** Handles recurring plans, trials, renewals and upgrade orders, with a renewal flow for returning customers. - **Three account types:** 2Sell covers one-time and recurring sales, 2Subscribe adds subscription management tools, and 2Monetize is the package aimed at digital goods sellers. - **Customer portal and reporting:** Buyers get a myAccount portal to see orders, manage subscriptions and request refunds. Sellers get reports, accounting views and payout settings in a control panel. - **Developer tools:** A REST API, webhooks and the 2Pay.js library are documented, and every new account starts in a demo mode for test orders. ## Good for - Software and SaaS companies selling to buyers in many countries - Sellers who want checkout, subscriptions and payouts in one platform - Teams with developers who will use the API and webhooks ## Worth knowing - No prices are published in anything we could read: the docs say the margins and fees are in each merchant's signed contract. - The main 2checkout.com pages answered with a bot check, so pricing and feature pages could not be read; facts here come from the documentation site. - Payouts need a minimum balance of $50, £50 or €50 on 2Sell and 2Subscribe accounts, and $100, £100 or €100 for resellers on 2Monetize. - Merchants in, or selling products from, restricted jurisdictions such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria cannot use it. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 2Checkout handles checkout, subscriptions, payouts and tax for sellers who sell to many countries. No fees are published, since they sit in each merchant's contract, and its main site blocked our read. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published: fees and margins are in each merchant's signed contract. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed anywhere on record. - **Features: B.** Hosted checkout, payment methods and currencies, subscription billing, three account types, a customer portal and developer tools. The listing shows no gap in the core work. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs account approval, contract terms and developer setup. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with a REST API, webhooks and payment-page tools listed. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from 2Checkout's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. Note: the main site was behind a bot check, so the facts come from its documentation. ## Where it stands among tools for selling digital products - 2Checkout's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 6 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade, and level with 4. - It stands best on features (B, above 29 of 50) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/digital-products ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace 2Checkout you would be making selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 40 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products grade higher. - You could make: Digital downloads and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. - You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner. - You could not: It plugs into other products, REST API, Webhooks and 2Pay.js among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with REST API, Webhooks, 2Pay.js, ConvertPlus, InLine checkout **Tags:** Merchant of record, Digital downloads, Affiliate tracking, Reports, Public API ## Alternatives - [Paddle](https://toolgpa.com/tools/paddle): Merchant of record billing for SaaS and software.
