# Integrate third-party connectors

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

You can easily integrate with 2Checkout through different third-party store creators. You can find a list of all the major connectors in our [Knowledge Center](https://verifone.cloud/docs/2checkout/Shopping-cart-integration/). However, if you are looking to integrate with 2Checkout through a particular connector that is not listed in our Knowledge Center, see the steps below:

## 2Checkout Settings: <a href="#id-2checkout-settings__003a" id="id-2checkout-settings__003a"></a>

After logging into your 2Checkout account, navigate to the *Integrations → Webhooks & API* section in the Control Panel, and you will find all the necessary tools to connect your third-party store creators to your 2checkout account. From this centralized integrations' section you will be able to:

* Set up INS&#x20;
* Have access to your Merchant code
* Add Return URL with header redirect or link in **Thank you** page&#x20;
* Generate an INS secret word&#x20;
* Generate private API keys, or use any API information required for your authentication

## Integration Tools <a href="#integration-tools" id="integration-tools"></a>

### Merchant code <a href="#merchant-code" id="merchant-code"></a>

Throughout the 2Checkout connectors' documentation, you may find the **Merchant code** also referred to as Seller ID, Account ID, Merchant ID, 2checkout ID, 2checkout account code. You can find your Merchant code in your Control Panel dashboard, in the **Integrations** section, under **Webhooks and APIs**.

### Return URL <a href="#return-url" id="return-url"></a>

Throughout the 2Checkout connectors' documentation, you may find the **Return URL** referred to as Return link, Approved URL, Thank you link, Given links back to my website. You can find the Return URL in your Control Panel dashboard, in the **Integrations** section, under **Webhooks and APIs**.

### Secret Word/Secret Key <a href="#secret-word__002fsecret-key" id="secret-word__002fsecret-key"></a>

You can find the 2Checkout **Secret Word** functionality under the INS secret word tab in your Control Panel dashboard, in the **Integrations** section, under **Webhooks and APIs**. Your **INS secret word** should be the same as the **buy-link secret word** (can be found under Dashboard → Integrations → Webhooks & API, scroll down to the Secret Word area, as shown in the image below). Edit your INS secret word and buy-link secret word to match each other, then copy and paste them into your third-party connector's admin.

### 2Checkout API Access <a href="#id-2checkout-api-access" id="id-2checkout-api-access"></a>

To connect to the 2Checkout API, use the API private keys located in your Control Panel dashboard, in the **Integrations** section, under **Webhooks and APIs**.

### Set up your Instant Notification Service (INS)/Global URL <a href="#set-up-your-instant-notification-service-__0028ins__0029__002fglobal-url" id="set-up-your-instant-notification-service-__0028ins__0029__002fglobal-url"></a>

To set up your Global URL, follow the steps below:

* Log into your [2Checkout account](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel/)
* Navigate to *Dashboard → Integrations → Webhooks & API* section
* Check the **Enable INS** and the **Enable global URL** checkboxes
* Paste the link from your third-party store creator in the field below the “Enable global URL”
* Click **Update** to save your settings

{% hint style="info" %}
If any changes are made to your domain (to a custom domain/other), e-mail us the new URL at <supportplus@2checkout.com> in order to update your 2Checkout account, and thus avoid a communication mismatch. Currently, when you are using a third-party cart and want to have multiple URLs, you need to create new accounts for each new URL.
