Google Checkout

Google Checkout is a free service from Google. Like all other Google services, you only need a Google account (like Gmail) to be able to use it. If you don’t have a Google account already, you can sign up for a new one at checkout.google.com.:- []

Google Checkout works in a very simple manner. First off, you have to sign up for a Google Checkout account. Then you can add your credit or debit card information to the account and you’re ready to go. Google doesn’t share your personal information or the full card number with anyone else. However, in some instances, it does share the last few digits of your card number just to identify the transaction. In fact, when you’re placing orders, you can also choose whether you want to keep your e-mail address confidential or if you want to receive e-mails from that particular seller. You can use Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover with your Google Checkout account. Though you can have multiple checkout accounts, for security and fraud prevention, you can use only one credit card with a particular account.

The single biggest advantage of this service is not having to remember different usernames and passwords for all the different shopping sites you visit. You just buy from different online stores using a single Google login name, which simply means one click shopping. How do you know what stores accept Google Checkout"? The answer is very simple. When you search for a product on Google's Web site and you see an advertisement in the Google search ad bar, the stores where Google Checkout works will have a little green shopping cart icon in their entry. So, just look for the little shopping cart to know whether it will work or not. Google Checkout can also be used on sites that display the Google Checkout logo or have a Google Checkout button on the shopping cart page. After you are done with your shopping, you can track down your orders and shipping information in the purchase history option provided by Google. No more going to different Web sites to track down all the purchases you made in the last six months. This makes it all so much easier. It is especially useful for the folks who do a lot of their business shopping online and need to maintain track of it all. Now, if you’re an online seller, Google Checkout holds out a goodie bag for you too. For letting merchants use this service on their Web sites, Google charges them two percent of the purchase price. As is obvious, Google is playing smart by keeping its transaction fee lower than most credit card companies. Now, here’s the interesting part. If you’re a customer paying for search related keyword ads through Google Ad Words, you will be able to process transactions that add up to 10 times the total monitory amount of your spending on Google Ad Words absolutely free of cost. The bottom line is that if you’re an online shopper who’s sick of filling out forms and trying to remember different logins for different sites or if you’re an online seller who’s sick of lost sales at the point of shopping cart checkouts, Google Checkout can be the easy remedy for you!
