Google CheckOut

Google CheckOut is a new payment processor. You barely notice online merchants using Google CheckOut as payment option. Is Google CheckOut taking time in opening its doors to potential merchants? I wonder what are the basic requirements to be accredited as Google CheckOut merchant.

I think Google checkout will catch on, but it'll take some time. Paypal has such a huge head start and most people don't want to have 2-3 payment accounts. Most sites won't offer just Google checkout without Paypal because they'd loose customers and visitors have no incentive to choose Google over Paypal when the site offers both and they already have a Paypal account.

I use it right now and it's not to bad. I have a few business parters, whom also use it. Paypal is very busy these days and as mentioned above, google will take time to expand.

Can you tell me how much it costs to open a Google Checkout Account?

Thanks

i 100% agree with u , today mostly everywhere on internet payments are acceptable by paypal accounts, and most of the people are happy by using paypal.Untill every website starts accepting payments through google checkout i don't think so people will go for it.
