Google Checkout

Vladimir V. Tuporshin — December 4, 2006

Google Checkout logoGoogle Checkout is an online payment processing system designed to offer shoppers with a Google account a quick way to pay for products and services. Consumers enter their credit card and billing information into Google account only once, and then pay for purchases at various Google Checkout-compatible online stores with a matter of few clicks.

Even if you make checkout in your online store as simple as possible, a customer will have to input her shipping and billing information to place an order. This could be frustrating for a consumer, especially if she is about to place several orders in different stores. A customer is likely to abandon her shopping cart if prompted to fill out credit card and billing information again. Google Checkout is an attempt to resolve the issue and make consumers’ online shopping experience more pleasant.

We are excited to announce that Shop-Script shopping cart software (PRO and PREMIUM versions) have been integrated with Google Checkout! Now Shop-Script allows you to setup Google Checkout as an alternative to existing credit card and other available payment types in your store. Enabling Google Checkout payments in Shop-Script is very easy! Simply enter your Google account credentials, and your customers will be able to place an order in your store through Google Checkout right from the shopping cart details page - it takes only a few clicks:

When clicking Google Checkout button shown above, customer is redirected to Google website for making a payment. After checkout is complete, Google sends order information to your online store and Shop-Script saves the order.

Google checkout gives customers confidence about safety of their credit card information stored with Google. Thus, it increases your online store credibility. We suggest using Google Checkout since it is very easy to install, it provides a good alternative to regular checkout and helps you to increase visitors to customers conversions.

Shop-Script provides Level 2 (advanced) integration with Google Checkout.

  4. Level 2 integration which is supported in Shop-Script is more comprehensive and supports all Level 1 features. I would recommend you to utilize built-in integration. However, if for some reason you would like Level 1 integration, this can be implemented only by customizing software on your own.
