Contact [2Checkout](mailto:info@avangate.com) directly to: * Access extra storage space for your product files. * Inquire about physical delivery. ## Configure product delivery options Define **product delivery options** along with general information, pricing schemes, renewal details, and all additional info needed when configuring a product. 1. Go to *Setup* > [*Products*](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/products.php). 2. Click **Add product.** 3. Enter the item's general information and click **Add product** when you're done. 4. Enter the pricing, upgrade and renewal details on the next page. 5. Three Product fulfillment categories are available: * **Fulfillment made through 2Checkout delivery** - You can opt to have 2Checkout deal with all aspects related to the delivery of your products, and serve binary keys, activation codes, product files and Download Insurance Service (DIS) to customers. Here you can also choose to manually confirm the delivery of the order. If you enable the [Requires delivery confirmation](/product-catalog/product-catalog/electronic-products-and-subscription-plans/fulfillment-confirmation.md) option, 2Checkout puts the order processing on hold until you confirm delivery . * **Fulfillment made by you** - You are responsible with providing your customers with the necessary resources to start using purchased products. It's critical that you also send confirmation of order fulfillment to 2Checkout to finalize orders. * **Fulfillment made immediately after payment confirmation** - Use this if don't distribute products / keys to customers, but instead offer access to online services or subscriptions-based applications, to name a couple of examples. ## Fulfillment made through 2Checkout delivery 2Checkout handles the delivery of your products, but you control the content served to customers as well as the distribution method, and can even add extra services to increase the value of your offerings. Selecting **Fulfillment made through 2Checkout delivery** brings up the **Content & methods** box, enabling you to configure the delivery process of a product. The **Fulfillment** area tailors itself dynamically to the options you select under **Product fulfillment type** and **Content & methods**. Options available: * Delivery content * Delivery methods * Extra delivery services ### Delivery content When 2Checkout handles the delivery of products on your behalf, you must check at least one of the boxes for the two **Delivery content** options: #### Electronic code/keycode/key/binary file Makes it mandatory to also select a list of codes from the drop-down menu under the Activation codes settings area that is brought up. If none exists, you need to create a new code list and associate it with the product. #### Product file download links 2Checkout can deliver your digital product files to shoppers immediately after they successfully placed an order. In the product **Fulfillment** page, set the files you want to deliver from the **Assign product files** list under the **Product file** area. You need to upload and set up product files, if you haven't done so already. Click [here](/product-catalog/product-catalog/electronic-products-and-subscription-plans/product-files-manager.md) to learn how to manage product files. Assign multiple product files in case your delivery requires separate installation files for one product in the download page. For example, if your product has support for multiple operating systems: Windows, MAC OSX, etc., your shoppers can receive and download the product files for all supported versions. You can add multiple product files at once by checking all the files you want to assign from the list. The list contains all the product files uploaded by you that have a clean status, including the ones currently assign to your product. Keep in mind that when assigning a product file you have to check the extra delivery services involved: download link, download insurance service (DIS), and partner (channel manager). Shoppers can download the product files from: * **Thank you page** — If you have checked the delivery method of **Instant delivery (in the Thank you page).** This delivery option is available for payment methods with instant payment confirmation like credit cards, PayPal, etc. {% hint style="info" %} Note that HTML tags are not supported in the ConvertPlus and InLine Checkout flows when using additional fulfillment information in 'Thank you' page. Plain text can be used instead. {% endhint %} * **myAccount** — Your shoppers can download the product files by logging into their 2Checkout customer account. The product files are available on the product history page, after clicking on the "Download product" button. * **Download page** — The electronic delivery e-mail sent to your customers contains a "Download your product" button. By accessing it, customers are redirected to the download page where they can download all the product files belonging to the product ordered. You can select both delivery options (product files / electronic code), in accordance with the distribution model of the product you're setting up. At least one of these options needs to be enabled for your offering to benefit from 2Checkout delivery. It's entirely up to you to offer the electronic code/key/binary file to your customers, a link to download the product file, or both. **Requirements** You can only assign clean files to your products. 2Checkout scans the files uploaded for malware, and only files in clean status can be delivered to shoppers. ### Delivery methods #### By Email & in 2Checkout myAccount Default — cannot be disabled. Ensures that customers who acquire your products receive at least the electronic code/keycode/key/binary file or a link to download the product file, if not both, via email and in their myAccount, from 2Checkout. Consider customizing the email message sent to your customers using the Additional delivery information - by email field. #### Instant delivery (in the Thank you page) Have 2Checkout instantly deliver product files and keys in the Thank you page displayed once a purchase is finalized. 2Checkout displays the Thank you page to customers if the payment method they use supports instant confirmation (credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, etc.) and is automatically approved by the system/anti-fraud team, the instant electronic delivery can be delayed or even canceled altogether. You cannot use Instant delivery together with the Requires delivery confirmation feature. The delivery content, also available in Email and in 2Checkout myAccount, is included in the Thank you page that you customize. Instant delivery works for authorized and approved purchases. If the transaction fails or if the 2Checkout system flags an order as potentially fraudulent, 2Checkout does not display the instant delivery content in the "Thank You Page". In such scenarios, the delivery takes place over email once the order is authorized and approved. Regardless if you checked the Instant delivery option or not, you can personalize the **Additional delivery information - "Thank you" page** with details according to your preferences in the field that is found at the bottom of the page. ### Extra delivery services **DIS (Download insurance service)** is an optional service that you can charge extra for, providing you with an easy tool to increase Average Order Value (AOV) while also offering a richer set of shopping cart options to customers. #### DIS (Download insurance service) By enabling the DIS (Download insurance service), customers get the option to pay to extend the life span of the product file download link for a total of two (2) years, but also to download the item an unlimited number of times. Make sure to associate a downloadable file associated with the product in the **Product file** area. Orders and payments are confirmed via email when this option is selected, with 2Checkout also delivering product keys/codes and download links through email. Order deliveries are confirmed automatically, causing 2Checkout to execute the money transfer from the customer. ## Fulfillment made by you Distribute binary keys, activation codes, and product files, as well as additional files yourself by selecting **Fulfillment made by you**. You're required to confirm fulfillment of all orders before 2Checkout can move their status to Finished. You can confirm delivery in two ways: * Go to *Orders & customers* and [*Fulfillment confirmations*](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/delivery.php) to access a list of all incomplete orders that need fulfillment confirmation. Select the check box on the left hand side of an order you want to finalize and click **Confirm fulfillment**. * Use Instant Delivery Notification (IDN). IDN helps you automate the order finalization process. Use scripts and rely on Instant Delivery Notification to facilitate automatic delivery confirmations from your system directly to 2Checkout servers. 2Checkout puts orders on hold until you confirm fulfillment, and finalizes them only after receiving confirmation from you or your system. **Fulfillment made by you** offers the possibility to have 2Checkout handle the distribution of products to customers on your behalf. The **Additional information - "Thank you" page** functionality enables you to serve a custom message to your customers along with the "thank you" for their purchase. Please note that the responsibility of providing customers with electronic deliveries for your offerings rests solely with you, and not with 2Checkout. For products that you configured with **Fulfillment made by you**, order fulfillment confirmation is mandatory, as 2Checkout keeps track of the product distribution process for all orders, with the system setting order status to **Finished** only after the fulfillment is made and confirmed manually or through IDN by you. 2Checkout confirms order and payments via email when you select this option, but does not deliver product keys/codes and download links. Once you confirm order fulfillment, 2Checkout executes the money transfer from the customer. ## Fulfillment made immediately after payment confirmation Designed with SaaS in mind, this feature enables you to sell service, without delivering binary keys, activation codes, product files, or DIS to customers. Use **Fulfillment made immediately after payment confirmation** if your business model does not rely on electronic content delivery, and instead involves selling subscriptions or access to online services, etc. **Fulfillment made immediately after payment confirmation** comes with the option to have 2Checkout handle the distribution of products to customers on your behalf. The **Additional information - "Thank you"** field allows you to customize the message for your shoppers as you wish. For products that you configured with **Fulfillment made immediately after payment confirmation**, 2Checkout confirms orders automatically, with their status updated to **Finished** after payment goes through. 2Checkout does not keep track of deliveries when you use this option, and you need to provide customers with access/subscriptions to your service/platform or additional delivery options. 2Checkout confirms orders and payments via email but does not deliver product keys/codes and download links through email. Order fulfillment is confirmed automatically causing 2Checkout to execute the money transfer from the customer. ## Enable delivery confirmation If you want to manually approve or reject orders after 2Checkout performs the risk assessment, you can do so after you enable the vendor delivery confirmation feature. ### Availability Before you can use this feature, get in contact with your Customer Success Manager and ask for the activation of this option on your 2Checkout account. ### Enable delivery confirmation 1. Log in to the [2Checkout Control Panel](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/). 2. Go to the [*Account Settings*](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/index_account_settings.php) page 3.

Under the **Orders & Reports** roles section, check the **Enable delivery confirmation approval** checkbox and click **Save role** at the bottom of the page. ## How do I confirm orders? When a shopper places an order, you now have the option to either manually confirm or reject the order from the order's status page in the Control Panel. If you don't confirm or reject the order for 14 days, 2Checkout automatically reverses it. We also notify you about the order requiring confirmation in the Control Panel dashboard on the **Last orders** tab. Shoppers see their order marked with a **Pending** status in **myAccount** until you confirm the delivery. 2Checkout also notifies them that the order is waiting for your approval through a message in the **Order lookup** section. ## How to activate delivery confirmation IPN You can configure 2Checkout to send an IPN when you confirm the delivery of an order by following the steps below. 1. Log in to the [2Checkout Control Panel](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/)**.** 2. Go to the [*Account Settings*](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/index_account_settings.php) page. 3. Click **Edit sytem settings.** 4. Go to the [*IPN settings*](https://secure.avangate.com/cpanel/ipn_settings.php) tab. 5. Check the **the order was approved for delivery** option under **Notification settings.** 6. Click **Save.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
