    I have be mulling over implementing Google Checkout, but it seemed there were some issues in the past. Is anyone using GC successfully with aMember?
    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    I too would like to hear some current Google Checkout experiences. I will soon be offering a book and online course and need to commit to a CC processor soon. I will likely start with a solution that does not require a merchant account until I am sure this project is going to have some legs.

    I like the fact that Google Checkout fees can re reduced by using Google Adwords. I am also thinking that those who, for whatever reason, don't like PayPal might not object to using Google Checkout even though the checkout procedure is similar.

    I think the deal breaker for me with Google Checkout is the lack of integrated shipping solutions. With PayPay you can easily ship a product using several fully integrated shipping options. Also with PayPal you can offer a non-PayPal track with PayPal Pro (not requiring setting up or using an existing PayPal account).

    Thanks in advance for any information on real world experiences with these CC processors.
