Creator of ManyCam increases conversion, internal efficiency and revenue across channels; embraces new recurring revenue models with 2Checkout’s Avangate digital commerce platform
ATLANTA, GA - June 22, 2017 - 2Checkout (formerly Avangate), a leader in eCommerce, payments and subscription billing solutions, announced today that its customer Visicom Media improved eCommerce operations and revenue for its ManyCam product by using the Avangate digital commerce platform, Enterprise edition.
