2Checkout is an electronic payment service (merchant account alternative) founded in 2000 that allows merchants to accept online credit card payments from customers in their home country and abroad. 2Checkout is an all-in-one monetization platform that allows businesses to quickly expand internationally and optimize recurring revenue streams across channels, by simplifying the back-end complexities that modern digital commerce creates.

2Checkout makes it easy for digital businesses to expand their market reach and accept payments in over 180 countries. Merchant services spanning global shopper support, risk, fraud, and tax, through financial reconciliation make it possible to instantly conduct commerce globally and navigate the complexities of global business across multiple jurisdictions.

2Checkout allows customers “to check out” and pay when completing an online purchase. 2CO is very similar to PayPal and Stripe Payments and competes for much of the same market share. You may have encountered 2Checkout as a payment processing option within one of its many partnered shopping carts, invoicing, or booking platforms.
