Google Checkout

The company the Google , has received international recognition for the development of IT-technologies, it has decided to expand its capabilities and offered Internet users a new electronic payment system. The creators of the payment system wanted to make the online payment process easier. And they succeeded. The user enters his payment information only 1 time during the first financial transaction. The system "remembers" the payers details, and when paying for the purchase again, the client will provide only the recipients payment information.

Google Checkout features

The basis of Google Checkout is incorporated technology in which Google accepts payment from its users. Now, the companys specialists have significantly expanded the possibilities of payment by developing several services that allow bringing service to a qualitatively new level. Owners of online stores are tied to the account, registered in the Google Checkout is , your shopping site. Buyers prefer this payment method. And there are several reasons for this: • a minimum of time is spent on the transaction: you need to enter the e-wallet and make just 1 click to transfer funds; • money will be transferred to the stores account instantly;



• the payers details (card number) are hidden from prying eyes: the seller sees only the amount that comes to his account.
The way Google Checkout works is significantly different from that offered by other EPSs. Here the procedures for issuing an e-invoice and replenishing its balance have been abolished: payments are made directly from a bank card that is linked to a user account. The service works with payment instruments MasterCard , American Express , VISA , Discover . The cards of these systems are accepted all over the world. Virtual payment documents will also work. When shopping in online stores, the user does not pay commission fees - this mission rests with the seller. Google Checkout is a convenient online payment platform for goods and services. Payment order clients cannot receive money transfers from third-party users - the services capabilities do not allow this. Users can purchase goods at e-auctions, in regular online stores, transfer funds to the accounts of gaming and entertainment sites, and pay for the services of Internet organizations.
