The discount code is available in the Free Resources section of the SiteGround customer area. With this new free addition we provide a very convenient way to all e-commerce website owners to start selling goods and services online with no initial investment for payment processing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This initiative is in line with our consistent policy of sharing SiteGround online business experience with our customers. We have used 2Checkout service ourselves when we were a starting company. Back then in 2004 SiteGround faced many challenges typical for a start up. One of the fundamental issues was the online payments processing. At the beginning we looked for a solution that could handle the multiple strict security regulations and complex procedures for fraud review, credit card information storage and handling on behalf of our company, as to do this ourselves required substantial investment of time and resources, which we were not yet ready to afford. And what we have found to be among the most appropriate options for fast and easy start to accept online payments was the 2Checkout account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now, seven years later, we are happy that 2Checkout, the company that has helped us have a successful start, is willing to make the payment processing setup even easier for our customers . Based on our own experience we strongly believe that by providing this free 2Checkout account we will make it easier for more people to have a successful e-commerce website. We have always looked for ways to share our successful practices and we will continue to do it as we know that our future depends on our customers&#8217; success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">[subscribe_cta]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPDATE: We no longer have a partner relationship with 2checkout and the stated special terms do not apply anymore.
