Overall Satisfaction with 2Checkout All-in-one Monetization Platform

We are integrating 2Checkout [All-in-one Monetization Platform] as a payment gateway in our webapp.
  • Lots of options for checkout
  • Comprehensive admin panel
  • Integrating to 2Checkout API will crush your soul
  • You will feel lost in documentation
  • Crazy and lengthy approval system
  • It feels like they don't want you to use them
  • It allows for charging users
  • Checkout is nice and to the point
  • It delays everything with a lengthy approval process and crazy API to integrate with

2Checkout [All-in-one Monetization Platform] is a good replacement for Stripe in countries where it is not available. It has good commissions, works in many countries. But it is a nightmare to integrate. If you can use Stripe, forget about 2Checkout [All-in-one Monetization Platform].

Using 2Checkout All-in-one Monetization Platform

It is surreal. Everything feels like they don't really want you to use them. I had to beg them to approve my account because of stupid approval questions. Example: give ONE url where payments will come from. (my payments will come from a page inside my webapp which means absolutely nothing to users who don't have a user in my webapp. I also have many URLs where the users can pay from)

Then their API is super complicated to use. I couldn't believe how complicated it is. It is not well explained in the documentation and you have to guess until you understand the underlying logic. I wouldn't use it if I Stripe was available in my country.
