What Is WooCommerce 2Checkout Payment Gateway?
WooCommerce 2Checkout Payment Gateway is developed by WooCommerce and operates as a payments plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools designed to handle online store checkouts and billing safely.
The plugin solves the challenge of accepting international payments without requiring direct merchant accounts in multiple regions. It is designed for eCommerce businesses that need a standardized, multi-currency checkout solution integrated directly into their WordPress dashboard.
WooCommerce 2Checkout Payment Gateway Features
2Checkout for WooCommerce offers three distinct checkout experiences and synchronizes extensive financial reporting directly into the WordPress admin panel.
Multiple Checkout Modes
The plugin supports three different integration types to match your store layout. The standard Hosted Checkout redirects users to a secure 2CO page, while Inline Checkout creates an iFrame payment form native to your store interface. Developers can also use the 2Checkout API Gateway to take payments directly on the site without redirects, making it an excellent addition to other WooCommerce plugins focused on conversion optimization.
Integrated Dashboard Metrics
Store owners do not have to leave WordPress to monitor their payment metrics. The plugin fetches and displays total earnings, processing fees, and chargeback penalties within the WordPress dashboard. It also tracks the rolling reserve balance and tax or VAT data associated with each 2CO order.
Catalog Synchronization Bypass
Administrators can utilize the 2CO Pass-Through-Products Parameters native to this integration. This allows the store to send checkout data directly to the gateway without forcing you to pre-create your entire product catalog inside the 2Checkout seller area. If you offer free shipping or sell single items, you can activate the “Send Order Total as one item” setting to simplify billing.
Pricing
While the merchant account requires individual per-transaction fee agreements, check current pricing on the 2Checkout for WooCommerce sales page for direct integration licensing. WPExclusive members access the full premium files as part of their existing plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | 2Checkout for WooCommerce + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, an active WPExclusive membership covers the integration plus hundreds of other professional products, which is usually less than securing one individual license.

WooCommerce 2Checkout Payment Gateway Use Cases
International Retailers
Merchants serving high volumes of cross-border traffic require diverse payment options. By offering 15 checkout languages and converting 26 currencies, 2Checkout for WooCommerce allows businesses to capture international sales efficiently. Integrating this matches well with dedicated WordPress payments plugins geared toward global markets.
Subscription-Based Businesses
Store owners managing recurring billing setups need gateways that preserve payment tokens. Because 2Checkout supports recurring options, administrators can connect this plugin to other subscription tools to process ongoing monthly charges automatically.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies frequently design custom checkouts for local retail clients who prefer the Inline iFrame over standard redirects. Deploying 2Checkout for WooCommerce through a WPExclusive membership eliminates per-site licensing costs when testing gateways.
