This release continues our focus on helping companies adapt to the COVID-19 economy, promoting those who are scaling to reach new heights and supporting those who are struggling to find new monetization strategies.
Our new updates harness innovation and enrich merchants’ capabilities in B2B and B2C industries, through new features that will help you automate sales-assisted deals on top of regular eCommerce; grow conversions and revenue with analytics and checkout optimizations; automate revenue and offer faster strategy roll-out; power-up your shopping cart integrations; extend market reach with local payment processing; employ new monetization strategies; and optimize your channels with new data endpoints.
Discover the full lineup of new features now available for your eCommerce business to use through our all-in-one monetization platform:
1. Automate Sales-Assisted Deals on Top of Regular eCommerce
As prospects and customers expect faster and more accurate responses, companies need new approaches in terms of B2B sales process automation. The go-to solution is CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote), which optimizes and automates the quote-to-cash process, thus powering up your CRM with order management, subscription management, and payment solutions in a streamlined and seamless experience.
We are happy to announce the new Verifone CPQ for Salesforce which helps automate and ensure flexibility of pricing, product configuration, and billing schedules. Centralize your negotiation threads and increase your sales teams’ efficiency to capture feedback easier and close more deals faster, while taking advantage of automated orders and fulfillments.
Enhance your inbound eCommerce approach with nurturing flows that pass through your sales/account management teams to upgrade and package custom deals with the aim of increasing lifetime value for your clients.
With the new Verifone CPQ for Salesforce you can get real-time data from back-end systems (like order, subscription, payment data) to enhance sales visibility into their deals and overall client situation.
2. Grow Conversions and Revenue with Data Analytics and Checkout Optimizations
A big part of your business’ profitability depends on how well you are able to convert prospects into paying customers. That is why we’re bringing you reinforced strength to optimize your conversion funnel.
Our new update includes additional support for analytics tools, so you can better use data to fine tune your sales funnel. We’ve also added updated promotion rules, which will help you boost customer loyalty and monetize them better through our ConvertPlus and Inline ordering engines. And, since customers value speed and ease of transactions, we’ve optimized ConvertPlus to load faster, which you’ll find brings huge improvements to your cart’s conversion rate.
Take the Guesswork Out of Your eCommerce Funnel – Convert Plus & Inline Cart Analytics
We are constantly investing in improving our ordering engines and helping you scale your business. That’s why we’ve added support for two of the most important tools that allow you to navigate the complexities of eCommerce and gain extra insights on your sales funnel, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
Now you can track your checkout performance while using ConvertPlus and Inline Cart as ordering engines, with minimal effort from your side and real-time insights from multiple segments of interest.
Incentivize Customers with New Promotion Rules – ConvertPlus & Inline Cart Order Promotions
Since their launch, ConvertPlus and Inline Cart have been continuously optimized, from their look and feel to returning customer logic and display payment methods.
Soon, you will be able to increase your customers’ loyalty and incentivize your clients by applying discounts to the total order value, while using ConvertPlus or Inline Cart.
Offers configured with „Order Promotions” are designed to discount a fixed or variable amount from the total value of all products added to the cart during the shopping process.
Increase Your Conversion Rates with Faster Checkout Flows – ConvertPlus & Inline Performance
We have optimized ConvertPlus and Inline Cart to load faster and drive more revenue. The load time performance of ConvertPlus has been improved, which will lead to an overall increase of 15% in conversion rates.
Multiple Optimizations for Day-to-Day eCommerce Management – VAT Deduction, Webhooks, Merchant Control Panel Optimizations
We’ve made several improvements to the Merchant Control Panel so you can benefit from an optimized navigation experience.
Among our many updates is the optimization of the Merchant Control Panel search option. If you own multiple accounts, you now have the possibility to search through a whole list of accounts and easily switch between them when you log in. We’ve also improved the IPN email notification process by including the chargeback status in the email subject, so that you are easily informed when a chargeback is lost or won.
We have optimized the Merchant Control Panel authentication flow by adding error messages at login and recover password attempts if you key in the captcha code incorrectly.

6. Employ New Monetization Strategies for Your Subscription Services
As subscriptions have grown in popularity year over year (almost 80% of all digital products sold nowadays employ a subscription model, as 2Checkout’s latest insights show), businesses have had to adapt to better accommodate users’ needs and preferences in terms of pricing for recurring billing.
Our latest updates further support you with the complexity of your subscription pricing models, by bringing new capabilities for metered pricing.

Easily manage and collect your metered revenue – Optimized usage pricing and billing
If you were already pricing your subscriptions on more than one pay-per-usage pricing option, or based on a pricing model which was not previously supported, you can now safely hand over the complexities of usage management and billing to 2Checkout.
7. Optimize Your Channels with New Data Endpoints
A lot of the work in eCommerce often revolves around distributing your offering on multiple digital channels, but the complexity of keeping up with what’s happening on each channel can get overwhelming. Clear, actionable data is needed in order to keep scaling each distribution avenue, and that is why we’ve worked to upgrade reporting data, so you can capitalize more on each channel sale.
