Shopping Carts

2Checkout is supported by an ever-growing list of third-party shopping carts.

Traditional shopping carts, like X-Cart and ClickCartPro, have supported 2CO for many years now. Others, like Summer Cart and ViArt, are more recent additions. 2CO is also supported by hosted shopping carts like 3DCart and hosted invoicing systems like FreshBooks.

We’re proud to recommend these carts and services and all of the others we’ve reviewed and confirmed for compatibility. You can see our entire recommended cart list, organized by category (PHP, ASP, Hosted Services, etc.), here. There’s a solution for almost every need and we’re adding more all the time, so check back frequently.

If you have developed a 2CO-compatible shopping cart and would like to have it included in our recommendations, please email us directly at integration@2co.com and we’ll be happy to provide all the information you need to confirm compatiblity.

E-Coupon Use Increases

An Internet News article reports that coupon use is becoming more and more popular when buying things online.

“The news comes at a time when online coupon use is experiencing unprecedented growth, as a new generation of bargain hunters — those who do not subscribe to newspapers or clip physical coupons — turn to the Internet for the convenience and vast selection realized by the digital format.”

This should not be surprising as more and more shoppers are looking to save money. Coupons have long been used to introduce new customers to products or a new store. As more shoppers turn to the Internet, it seems logical that coupon use would continue to grow.

Coupons are actually easy to integrate into an existing payment structure. Business week gives some very good example of how to integrate coupons with your existing marketing and payment programs. Some of my favorites are:

  • Customer loyalty - Giving frequent shoppers a discount on future purchases
  • Incentives - Giving an instant coupon to encourage a sale
  • Increasing add-on sales - Using a coupon to sell related items

If you would like to use coupons on your site, we provide helpful “how to” articles on Creating a Coupon as well as Changing Existing Coupons . Share any thoughts you have on coupons with the Community.

Spotlight Product: Café Milagro

Café MilagroCafé Milagro

Established in 1994, Café Milagro is Costa Rica’s premier artisan coffee roaster. Costa Rica’s finest, mountain-grown, Arabica beans are meticulously prepared in small batches in a custom-designed 25 kilo roaster. Specialty coffees are sourced from plantations in Tarrazu, Tres Rios and other prestigious regions. Rich, volcanic soil, high elevation, ideal climate and generations of experience culminate in a perfect balance of aroma, body and acidity.

Sustainability is the cornerstone of Café Milagro’s philosophy of corporate responsibility. As a founding member of the Titi Conservation Alliance, a portion of profits are dedicated to the preservation of Costa Rica’s endangered Titi Monkey. Projects vital to the species survival include the creation of a biological corridor, environmental education in local schools and promotion of sustainable development in the community.

Why Small Businesses Can Win in This Economy

In a recent article on the Harvard Business Publishing website, Peter Bregman writes:

Small companies with low overhead, reliable owners, a small number of committed employees, personal client relationships, and sustainable business models that drive a reasonable profit are the great opportunity of our time.

He also make the case for establishing relationships with your customers. Something many of you are already doing.

We simply don’t trust companies anymore. We trust people.

This is something that I think most of us can understand. We are individual small businesses establishing relationships with individual customers. If Mr. Bregman is correct, we are the ones who will be winning in this economy. Nice to hear.

2Checkout Vendor Featured on US Television

On May 12, “The Today Show” hosted Chris Lilly, the author of Big Bob’s BBQ Book. During the segment, Chris showcased his favorite grill, the Komodo Kamado, made by 2Checkout vendor Dennis Linkletter’s company. Nice going guys, and nice grill too!

I made a point to visit the Today Show’s website to get a copy of the Loaf-Pan Chicken. Now I just have to find someone to actually make it.

Join the discussion on the Komodo Kamado website.

Have you been mentioned in local, regional, national media? Let us know. We will be happy to share the news!

Having a Strong Refund Policy

We recently talked about building a community as a means of developing relationships with your customers. One positive result of having a strong community is the development of trust between you and your customers. With understandable fears of identity theft, establishing this trust can go a long way in making that initial sale.

Two other ways to gain the trust of potential customers is having a clear guarantee and a return policy. Both of these tell your customers that you are willing to stand behind your product. Making sure that your customers know your refund policy before purchasing directly reduces the number of chargebacks you will receive.
