Just place the Buy Now buttons by items you sell on your site and buyers who click these buttons will be directed to a Google Checkout-hosted purchase page where they complete their purchase with Checkout.

How it works

1. Buyers visit your site and place orders by clicking the Buy Now buttons that you place by the items you sell. Buyers sign in to Google Checkout to confirm payment and shipping details.
2. You process the orders through the Google Checkout Merchant Center.

But is that automatic?i mean,user has to be redirected to our site after confirming shipping address with Google checkout center,in order to complete the checkout procedure,how is that handled?also, how will we be capturing the payments being confirmed by th user?where are we furnishing the return or cancel URL,in case redirecting takes place?
Can you explain it?

Google Checkout is not yet open for the Indian market. It is only available in the US and UK.

Anyway I do believe that Google should have done all those (auto redirection and things) for sure!! Come on yaar, they are the masters of the Internet atleast for now. How can they expect it to be a success without these basic functionalities.

Since it is not available in India, I have not tested it out and hence i can't comment more on it.

I'm too a google fan.But,in case of payment gateway,PayPal out-weighs Google Checkout!
Even PayPal doesn't support Indian currency,but it has a sandbox for developers,where dey can test their code before going real-time,also their documentation is great,so integration to custom shopping cart was easier!But I dint get much help about the google checkout integration!Dats why i made a post to find out if anyone had hands on with dat!anyway,thanks for the reply!

Google checkout  is not available in India.
Google checkout had many advanced features over the pay pal . It was giving many discounts to users who use ad words.I tried to integrate in one of my site but found out that it will work only in US.
Generally speaking these websites(like Google checkout) handles the payment processing part.Once it is done it will redirect users to 2 different pages based on the result of transaction..If its success it can redirect users to thank you page . If not success it will redirect to error page.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

I think,you are wrong about that information about Google checkout!I had done a small case study about paymnet gateways 2 months back,from that PayPal had lot of advantages over google checkout like:Unlike google checkout which is in US and Uk,PayPal is supported in 56 nations with 16 currencies,apart from credit,debit cards,PayPal has bank account transactions which is absent in google.<!--break-->Then other peer to peer services like virtual terminal etc.. den automatic shipping cost calculations etc...and lot more...
But only thing is that google Checkout is cheaper than PayPal but PayPal is giving services for what dey are chargin...so dat doesn't matter..Well,I'm deviating from the topic i think....jst wante to clear your wrong notion abt PayPal..
k...i was interested to know if anyone had real hands on google checkout integration with acustom shopping cart and also programming languages it supports for integration...for ur information,Paypal supports asp,php,python,java for integration ....Anyway,thanks for the reply..
