Adding the 2CheckOut Payment Gateway

To set up the 2CheckOut payment gateway in WHMCS:

Go to the appropriate location for your version of WHMCS:
- For WHMCS 8.0 and later, go to Configuration () > Apps & Integrations or Addons > Apps & Integrations.
- For WHMCS 7.10 and earlier, go to Setup > Products/Services > Payment Gateways and choose All Payment Gateways.
Click 2CheckOut.
Check Show on Order Form to display this payment method in the Client Area during checkout.
Optionally, enter a new display name.
Enter your vendor account number. You can find the vendor account number in your 2CheckOut account by clicking the gear icon and copying the Merchant Code value.
Choose your desired checkout style. We recommend always selecting Standard Checkout. For more information, see Checkout Style.
Enter your API username and password. You can create these in your 2CheckOut account:
1. Go to Settings > Manage User Access > View Roles > Add Role and enable Manage api access.
2. Go to Settings > Manage User Access > View Users > Add User and create a new user with the role you just created.
For enhanced security, enter a secret word. You can create the secret word in your 2CheckOut account:
1. In your 2CheckOut account, navigate to "Integrations".
2. Copy the INS Secret Word or generate a new one. The secret word is case-sensitive and can only contain the letters a-z.
Select a Recurring Billing setting. For more information, see the section below.
Check Skip 2CO Fraud Check to prevent 2Checkout from performing their fraud checks on payments. If a payment in WHMCS is later determined to be fraudulent, manual action would be required to reverse the payment in WHMCS and suspend any services.
If you use multiple currencies, set Convert To For Processing to the value of the currency your 2Checkout account. For example, if your 2Checkout account is in USD, the Convert To For Processing setting must also be USD.
Click Save Changes.

Checkout Style

The 2CheckOut module allows you to select between Inline Checkout and Standard Checkout checkout style options. However, 2Checkout has deprecated their legacy inline checkout style and it is no longer available.

2Checkout will use the standard checkout style regardless of your Checkout Style setting.
We recommend always selecting Standard Checkout.
We plan to remove this setting in a future version.

This applies to 2Checkout's legacy inline checkout style and not to their current InLine checkout feature.

Recurring Billing

When you configure recurring billing, you can select the following options:

Offer Recurring & One Time Payments — Provide both recurring and one-time billing options.
Offer Recurring Only — Only provide a recurring option. This option will only appear when there is a recurring item on the invoice and the invoice is not overdue.
Offer One Time Only — Only provide a one-time option. This option will not allow automatic recurring payments.

If you choose Offer One Time Only, you must configure it in your 2CheckOut account:

Log in to your 2CheckOut account.
Go to the Integrations tab.
To set the 2CheckOut callback process to automatically mark invoices paid:
1. Check Enable INS and Enable global URL.
2. In the Global URL field, enter https://www.example.com/whmcs/modules/gateways/callback/tco.php, where https://www.example.com/whmcs/ is the URL of your WHMCS installation.
To configure Direct Return to return clients to your WHMCS installation after payment:
1. Under Redirect URL in the Approved URL field, set the URL to https://www.example.com/whmcs/modules/gateways/callback/2checkout.php, where https://www.example.com/whmcs/ is the URL of your WHMCS installation.
Click Update.

Demo Mode

In order to use demo mode, set the Demo Setting in your 2CheckOut account to Parameter under Account > Site Management. Then, in WHMCS, enable demo mode by checking the checkbox at Configuration () > System Settings > Payment Gateways or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Payments > Payment Gateways.

When you use demo mode, all callbacks from 2CheckOut will fail with the error MD5 Hash Failure if a secret word is specified. This is done intentionally by 2Checkout to protect sellers of digital goods from fraudulent purchases through their demo mode.

In Demo Mode, valid credit card data must be submitted in order to properly perform the request. Credit cards will not be charged during this process.

Troubleshooting

MD5 Hash Failure

An MD5 Hash Failure error under Billing > Gateway Log indicates that the secret word in Configuration () > System Settings > Payment Gateways or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Payments > Payment Gateways does not match the secret word in the 2CheckOut control panel.

To resolve this issue, ensure that the secret word in 2Checkout contains only letters and numbers and does not contain any invisible trailing spaces. Then, update the secret word value in WHMCS to match the value in your 2Checkout account

Error Code PE101

This error indicates that there are invalid details in the 2CheckOut module settings, such as an incorrect Vendor Account Number value. Ensure that you entered the details correctly in the 2CheckOut gateway configuration.

A PE101 error can also be due to an account-level issue that you must resolve with 2CheckOut:

Account is not approved to sell.
Account has been closed.

It is possible that 2CheckOut is not allowing the use of inline checkout. Changing to standard checkout can resolve this.

Authentication failed

This error at Billing > Gateway Log indicates that the secret word, API username, or API password are incorrect. You can update these at Configuration () > System Settings > Payment Gateways or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Payments > Payment Gateways.

For further information on this configuration, see above.

+=== Checkout Style ===
-===Checkout Style===
+The '''2CheckOut''' module allows you to select between ''Inline Checkout'' and ''Standard Checkout'' checkout style options. However, 2Checkout has deprecated their legacy inline checkout style and it is no longer available.
-Two checkout styles are made available as part of 2CheckOut configuration:
-* '''Inline Checkout''' - Inline Checkout is an iframe payment option which displays a secure payment form as an overlay when your client is making payment. This allows for payment to be taken from a client without them leaving your site. WHMCS recommends this checkout style when using 2CheckOut.
-* '''Standard Checkout''' - Standard Checkout will redirect a client to the 2CheckOut site to make payment before they are redirected back to your site.
-===API Username/Password===
-[[File:2co-api-new.JPG|thumb|2CO API User Setup]]
-If you wish to be able to use the '''inline, recurring billing and automatic refunds functionality''' within WHMCS, then you must setup a 2CheckOut API user and enter the details in these fields.
-To setup an API user, you will need to first login to your 2CheckOut account and go to '''Settings > Manage User Access > View Roles > Add Role''' and ensure enable  '''Manage api access''' is ticked. You then need to go to '''Settings > Manage User Access > View Users > Add User''' and create a new user, assigning it to the role just created. Finally, enter the username & password that you just created into the appropriate API username and API password fields inside WHMCS.
-===Secret Word===
+* 2Checkout will use the standard checkout style regardless of your '''Checkout Style''' setting.
+* We recommend '''always''' selecting ''Standard Checkout''.
+* We plan to remove this setting in a future version.

+In Demo Mode, valid credit card data must be submitted in order to properly perform the request. Credit cards will not be charged during this process.
-The secret word is case-sensitive and should contain letters a-z only.
 </div>
-For Security, a secret word is set inside your 2CheckOut account, this must be entered into WHMCS for notifications and client redirects to be successful:
+==Troubleshooting==
-* In your 2Checkout Account Navigate to "''Integrations''"
-* Copy the INS Secret Word displayed or generate a new one
-* Paste the INS Secret Word into the ''Secret Word'' field of the 2CheckOut configuration within the WHMCS administration.
-===Recurring Billing===
+===MD5 Hash Failure===
-This option allows you to choose the options your clients have to pay when viewing an invoice, or going through the checkout process.
-A recurring payment with 2CheckOut is automatically sent when due without the need for the client to login and pay again. No card details are saved in WHMCS when using 2CheckOut.
-====Offer Recurring & One Time Payments====
-Allow the choice to your clients by providing both Recurring and One Time Billing options.
-====Offer Recurring Only====
+An MD5 Hash Failure error under '''Billing > [[Gateway Log]]''' indicates that the secret word in '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > [[Payment Gateways]]''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > Payments > Payment Gateways''' does not match the secret word in the 2CheckOut control panel.
-Only provide a recurring button to your clients. The button will only appear when there is a recurring item on the invoice, and when the invoice is not overdue.
-====Offer One Time Only====
+To resolve this issue, ensure that the secret word in 2Checkout contains only letters and numbers and does ''not'' contain any invisible trailing spaces. Then, update the secret word value in WHMCS to match the value in your 2Checkout account
-Only provide the option for One Time payments to your clients. No automatic recurring payments will be received.
-===Skip 2CO Fraud Check===
+===Error Code PE101===
-Ticking this option will prevent 2Checkout from performing their fraud checks on payments. It can result in faster processing of payments, but may potentially increase your exposure to fraudulent orders and charge-backs.
-Should a payment that has been recorded in WHMCS later be determined to be fraudulent, manual action would be required to reverse the payment recorded in WHMCS and suspend any services as appropriate.
+This error indicates that there are invalid details in the 2CheckOut module settings, such as an incorrect '''Vendor Account Number''' value. Ensure that you entered the details correctly in the  [[#Adding_the_2CheckOut_Payment_Gateway|2CheckOut gateway configuration]].
-===Convert To For Processing===
-This option will only appear in a multi-currency installation. If using the '''Standard Checkout''' option, It is very important that this be set to the value of the currency your 2Checkout account is held in.
-For example, if your 2Checkout account is held in ''USD'', then the "Convert To For Processing" setting must also be set to ''USD''. If this is not set properly, your payments may fail.
-==Error Messages==
-===Demo Mode===
-In order to use demo mode, the "Demo Setting" in your 2CheckOut account should be set to "Parameter" under '''Account > Site Management'''. Demo mode can then be enabled by ticking the checkbox in WHMCS under '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > Payment Gateways''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > Payments > Payment Gateways'''.
