2Checkout Customer Success Stories
Image-Line - Developer of software music production environment
Expansion in International Sales via Multiple Channels
"We are dealing with international markets and there’s simply too much regulation and compliance related to payments, sales taxation, VAT and so on, that we’d need to stay up to date with. We don’t want to spread ourselves thin, so outsourcing all payment and order processing to 2Checkout is a big advantage. They are not only helping us stay compliant in all the markets that we are selling into; they are also helping us optimize the purchase funnel, improving shopper experience. Another big plus is managing all sales channel from within the same platform: online direct, resellers and distributors, as well as both digital and physical goods", Kim De Meyst, Executive Management, Image-Line.
