Google checkout statistics

    Hi Friends,

    When it first came out Google Checkout sounded like the best thing going, all set to take over the world. But then Google's arrogance took over and they wouldn't be treated like Visa, MC, AMX, Discover, or PayPal, they had to have their own special treatment. That didn't work for us, so we didn't implement it. Then they relaxed their
    rules and we decided recently to give it a whirl.

    But I am very disappointed by the results. We get about 20 orders a day, but
    only about 1 in 50 are using Google Checkout. I also notice that overstock.com no longer
    accepts Google Checkout.

    What are your results?

    best regards
    wiz

    Goggle Checkout is not like Paypal, Paypal is basically a online wallet, Google Checkout is a payment gateway

    yeah, yeah, yeah, that's their tired story.

    but to me it is just another way for customers to pay me, so they should get in line with everyone else, not
    make me change the way I do business.

    So, do you have statistics?
