Paypal and 2Checkout make friends

We’ve had loads of questions lately about the changes to the payment methods we are accepting. Since our new offices are back home in Sunny Cape Town, South Africa, our only option at this stage is 2Checkout as Paypal has not managed to crack open our Forex laws, which is why we have had to disable Paypal as a payment option in the checkout. That being said, we are glad to announce that 2Checkout now offers the ability to pay with your Paypal account, giving us the best of both worlds! More information about this can be found on the 2Checkout website So.. if you prefer using Paypal, then when checking out, click on Pay Now with 2Checkout and once you are taken to their secure payment site, you will now see the option to pay with Paypal.
