    What is everyone's current situation with Google Checkout? Are they giving anyone any problems as far as subscriptions, not having their checkout button before amember signup page...etc...

    Just thought I'd bring everyone up to speed using 1 thread on any possible issues with them.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I had the issue with a lacking check out button and had to remove it as a payment option. Given I also allow PayPal and Credit Card I don't believe it impacted any sales.

    The Pain of what it would take to comply wasn't worth the cure for me so I chose to bag it.

    Just a question, I'm beta testing my site and I've currently got google checkout as an option for non-subscription services. What specifically is the issue others have with google checkout? I'm just trying to avoid any issues down the line....

    The comment above about checkout button before site registration scares me a little bit - do they require it to be one way or the other?

    The issue they cited at the time was mostly the lack of a checkout not requiring registration

    I just got this email from Google:
    "SUBJ: Attention required: order notification failing
    We've made several unsuccessful attempts to send order notifications to your notification callback URL"

    Has anyone been able to make the Google Checkout WORK with amember?

    Just curious, does anyone here use Google checkout with amember? This has been the first problem I've had that support has been completely non-responsive - which leads me to believe that they don't have a clue how to make this work. Does anyone use Google Checkout? If not, did you try and fail to get it working?
