2Checkout Release Notes
New updates and improvements
June 2026
Cumulative promotions in ConvertPlus
ConvertPlus now supports cumulative promotions in the default 2-column template. Shoppers can apply a cumulative promotion code on top of an already discounted price, with the combined discount clearly displayed in the cart.
Improved LCN logic
Vendors can now opt to receive a Licence Change Notification (LCN) when a subscription is reverted to a previous snapshot following a partner renewal order cancellation. The notification includes an explicit reason field so vendors can easily identify the cause.
New order view page in Customer MyAccount
Introduced a new order view page in Customer MyAccount, enabling shoppers to request refunds, manage subscriptions, and view order details through a self-service flow. Transactional emails (order confirmation, payment confirmation, and subscription-related emails) include direct links that automatically log shoppers into the new page, reducing reliance on customer support channels.
May 2026
Retry SEPA Direct Debit payments from the retry page
If a SEPA Direct Debit payment fails, shoppers can now retry it directly from the retry page, just as they can at checkout. This gives customers a straightforward second chance to complete their purchase, helping you recover orders that would otherwise be abandoned after a single failed attempt.
More flexible scheduled subscription changes (API)
The Schedule Subscription Changes API now treats Product Code, Pricing Options, and Quantity as independent, optional fields. You can schedule a product change without sending pricing options (or vice versa); any field you leave out keeps its current value at renewal. Previously these fields had to be sent together, which forced extra work and risked overwriting values unintentionally; now integrations are simpler, and changes are more predictable.
Test Google Pay end-to-end in the sandbox
You can now run structured Google Pay test orders in the sandbox, covering scenarios such as declines, network errors, and wallet issues. This lets you confirm how Google Pay behaves across real-world situations before going live, reducing the risk of payment problems reaching your shoppers.
April 2026
iDeal now supports free trials
You can now offer free trials with iDeal. A temporary €0.01 charge is placed and automatically refunded to enable the trial, and shoppers see a short message explaining this in their own language. This opens trial-based acquisition to a large base of Dutch shoppers who prefer to pay with iDeal.
Test Apple Pay end-to-end in the sandbox
You can now simulate the full range of Apple Pay outcomes in the sandbox — declines, 3-D Secure challenges, network errors, and more — using predefined test amounts. This lets you validate the complete Apple Pay experience before launch, reducing the risk of payment failures reaching live shoppers.
March 2026
Scheduled subscriptions improvements
Several improvements have been made to Scheduled Subscription Changes: pending changes can now be retrieved via API on demand, License Change Notifications (LCNs) are triggered for scheduled product actions, and quantity increases are now supported as a scheduled change type. These additions give vendors more visibility and flexibility when managing future subscription updates.
Enhanced Order API responses
Order API responses now include detailed refund information: the specific products refunded along with their quantities and prices, and the remaining refundable portion of the order (products, quantities, and amounts still eligible). This enables more accurate refund tracking, better reconciliation, and more granular refund management for API-based integrations.
February 2026
Refreshed brand
The 2Checkout brand has been refreshed across all vendor and shopper interfaces (excluding shopping carts), ensuring a consistent and up-to-date experience across the platform.
Currency settings for imported subscriptions
Vendors can now explicitly set the renewal currency for imported subscriptions. This prevents incorrect charges when the original order currency is unknown or missing, removing the need to fall back on the billing country's default currency.
Smart retry based on the shopper's time zone
Smart Retry now schedules billing attempts based on the shopper's local time zone (derived from the billing country) rather than the server's time zone. This reduces failed attempts due to time zone mismatches and improves the likelihood of a successful renewal.
January 2026
See what’s new and improved in our January update.
Subscription extension
Added a mechanism that prevents extending a subscription while it is still pending activation. This ensures accurate subscription lifecycle management and prevents unintended billing actions for subscriptions initiated through instant activation or activation‑on‑delivery workflows.
Improved ordering experience with PayU
For card transactions processed through PayU India, we added a retry button on the Finish page, allowing shoppers to retry their card transactions when a (retriable) decline error occurs, such as an incorrect CVV, thus reducing friction during the ordering process and increasing conversion rates.
December 2025
See what’s new and improved in our December update.
ConvertPlus loads faster
The ConvertPlus shopping cart now loads faster for vendors with multiple promotions, improving performance and reliability.
Extended Apple Pay support for MoR
Expanded Apple Pay support with a new processing route that enables additional billing currencies for MOR transactions, offering vendors greater payment flexibility.
November 2025
See what’s new and improved in our November update.
InLine cart loads faster
The InLine client now includes a new method to preload the cart, significantly reducing load times for a smoother, quicker checkout.
Bulgaria transitions to the Euro
Bulgarian shoppers paying in EUR will now see Bulgarian Leva (BGN) displayed alongside EUR on invoices, payment receipts, and auto-renewal notification emails, providing greater clarity and transparency.
October 2025
See what’s new and improved in our October update.
Mandatory renewal emails
Vendors now have greater flexibility and control over renewal communications. You can set country-specific rules for mandatory renewal emails that request either suppressions (don’t send) or exceptions (send at a custom lead time), based on local requirements and billing cycle length. This replaces the previous global defaults (7 days for cycles under 6 months, 15 days for cycles of 6 months or longer). Our Legal team validates all exceptions and, once approved, they will be visible in your Merchant Control Panel for full transparency.
Flexible invoicing options
Vendors now have more flexibility in invoicing. In addition to per-order and monthly options, you can generate partner invoices weekly (on selected days) or on specific days of the month, making it easier to align with your business needs.
September 2025
See what’s new and improved in our September update.
Increased visibility into subscription lifecycle
Previously, the Subscription Details page in the Merchant Control Panel only showed when a partner subscription was scheduled for activation. Now, it also logs the actual activation event. This enhancement gives vendors better visibility into the full lifecycle of a subscription, helping them track changes more accurately and manage their offerings with greater confidence.
Product feature #2
We improved the webhook delivery by introducing a new queueing system as part of the webhook scheduling project. This enhancement reduces database load, supporting our transition to AWS, and significantly improves webhook retry success rates. Vendors benefit from more reliable webhook delivery, faster processing, and fewer disruptions, directly addressing previously reported pain points.
August 2025
See what’s new and improved in our August update.
API support for US tax exemption
Added API support for US tax exemption on trial orders, enabling compliant handling of tax-exempt transactions, improving the customer experience for eligible users, and reducing manual intervention.
PayPal in API
PayPal Credit is now available in Public APIs. Vendors with API integration can now leverage this payment instrument for shoppers located in the US.
July 2025
See what’s new and improved in our July update.
Google Pay in the ConvertPlus Cart
Added Google Pay to ConvertPlus to enhance the checkout experience, offering customers a faster, more secure, and familiar payment flow that boosts convenience and conversion rates.
Automatic renewals
Extended the automatic renewal cancellation intent to capture the shopper’s last step and churn reason so that merchants can get actionable insights to improve retention and personalize the user experience.
June 2025
See what’s new and improved in our June update.
Product Tax Category
Added support for Product Tax Category in the Merchant Control Panel products' import that will allow vendors to batch import/export products together with their product tax categories.
Tax exemption
Added the
tax_exempt_IDparameter to the IPN endpoint so that vendors can have increased visibility on its use and decide whether to continue using this option in the checkout or not.
May 2025
See what’s new and improved in our May update.
Instant Tax Rate Export
A new endpoint was built to enable vendors to retrieve the tax rates for their products. Instant Tax Rate Export allows vendors to extract the tax rate information for their products as a JSON. Find out more details in the Instant Tax Rate Export (ITE) documentation.
Churn Prevention Report Enhancements
We improved reporting accuracy and ensured consistency in churn prevention metrics and terminology by adding a Recovered subscriptions column in the Churn prevention report, which shows the number of subscriptions that generated at least one successful renewal after a discount was accepted via a churn prevention campaign. The old Recovered subscriptions column was renamed to Accepted discount, and Recovery rate to Discount acceptance rate. Also, CPC discount acceptance info is now displayed on the subscription details page.
April 2025
See what’s new and improved in our April update.
Configure churn reasons
Vendors can now configure their own churn cancellation reasons in the Merchant Control Panel, for standard flows and churn-prevention campaigns. This allows vendors to choose which additional reasons to add or withhold reasons that are not relevant to their business operations or to the geographic region in which they operate, and they have the option to display the information based on relevance.
Secure sign-up form for partners
We have enabled bot protection on the partner self-signup form by introducing a captcha challenge, adding an extra layer of security, and protecting vendors from unsolicited partner signup requests.
March 2025
See what’s new and improved in our March update.
Enhanced invoice capability
Vendor invoices for stored credit are now available in the accounting area, and finance documents in the Control Panel.
Improved automatic renewal flow
After a manual renewal or upgrade flow, any updates made by the shopper during the order process will now automatically update the customer details and/or end user details. This behavior also applies to API-triggered renewals/upgrades, ensuring consistency across platforms. The next automatic renewal will use the updated information. This new enhancement will reduce manual update efforts and help keep license and customer data up to date and in sync. Read more on this in our Subscription documentation.
February 2025
See what’s new and improved in our February update.
Enhanced notification settings
We extended specific notification URL settings management to imported licenses as well, providing consistency and ease for vendors to track and manage orders and license notifications.
Stored credit in the API
We now support stored credit in API for the placeOrder, getOrder, and getContents API calls for all protocols (REST, SOAP, RPC), version 6.0. The newly added payment flow is available in USD currency. Selling through credits allows businesses to monetize the sale of products/services well ahead of the intention to buy.
January 2025
See what’s new and improved in our January update.
Flexible subscription activation
Vendors and partners can now activate subscriptions at a later date in Control Panel and Channel Manager, offering them more flexibility to manage partner subscriptions. Read more here.
Abandoned cart improvements
2Checkout will now store on the abandoned cart the regular promotion and cart template, so your shoppers can land on the same cart template and use the already applicable promotion from the original session when they access the buy-link received in the email follow-up.
