  11. In the secret word field, enter the same phrase you entered in the Secret Word field in Squirrelcart.
  12. In the URLs section, enter the URL to your store page for the Approved URL field. You can enter either your secure URL if you have one, or the regular http:// URL, as follows:
  13. http://www.example.com/store.php


    In the Pending URL field, enter the URL to your store page. You can enter either your secure URL if you have one, or the regular http:// URL, as follows:

    http://www.example.com/store.php

    The domain name in the URLs you enter must match the domain name on file with 2Checkout, or 2Checkout will not return the customer to your website.
  14. Click the Save Changes button
  15. In order to use 2Checkout, you have to have one product created in their system, with the product ID set to 1. Click the Products tab, and then click the Create button below it:
  16. This product is going to be used to represent a typical order from your site. Enter something in the Name field that is generic enough to describe the items you sell, but be as specific as possible. For example, "Web Design Services" is better than "Web Services".
  17. Enter 1 for the Your Product Id field
  18. Enter the average price of an order on your site in the Price field
  19. Fill out the other fields as you see fit, but leave Pending URL and Approved URL blank.
  20. Click the Save Changes button

  

2Checkout can return a status of "pending", which means that they could not immediately verify the card. When this happens, Squirrelcart will consider the order approved. You will get an email from 2CO when they have determined the correct status. Because of this, you should always check your 2CO control panel to ensure that the payment was received before shipping an order.
