Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 6 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about 2Checkout, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It needs account approval, contract terms and developer setup.
- 1
Best for checkout and billing for software sellers worldwide
No fees are published, since they sit in each merchant's contract, and its main site blocked our read.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
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.
- 4
Payment methods and currencies
The docs say the platform accepts more than 45 payment methods and more than 100 display and billing currencies.
- 5
Subscription billing
Handles recurring plans, trials, renewals and upgrade orders, with a renewal flow for returning customers.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 6 of 50
That is against the other tools for selling digital products we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
Best for checkout and billing for software sellers worldwide
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who 2Checkout is for
- Fits if you sell software or SaaS to buyers in many countries
- Works for teams with developers who will use the API and webhooks
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a published fee, as it is only in your contract
- Not for you if you sit in or sell from restricted places such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea or Syria
- Tight if your payouts are small, since resellers need a $100 minimum and other accounts $50
- Watch out: the main site answered our reader with a bot check, so the card follows its documentation
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
2Checkout's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published: fees and margins are in each merchant's signed contract.
We could not confirm 2Checkout’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. 2checkout.com has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
6/50
Other tools for selling digital products it is graded above
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).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 51 tools for selling digital products we grade, cut by the letter each got. 2Checkout’s own letter is outlined.

- CEase of useAbove 1 of 50
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 14 of 50
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Digital downloads and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- It plugs into other products, REST API, Webhooks and 2Pay.js among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. 2Checkout’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
