MIVA Small Business is excited to announce the release of a new feature for MIVA Merchant 5. Google Checkout is now available as a streaming update!

Every online merchant has two goals: sell more and spend less. Google Checkout? is a new way to process transactions that helps you achieve both. Checkout works with Google's search advertising program, AdWords, to increase your sales and minimize your expenses throughout the online sales and marketing process.

Attract more leads.
Shoppers who see the Google Checkout? badge on your AdWords ads will more easily find you when they search.

Convert more leads into sales.
A fast, secure checkout process helps persuade shoppers to buy on your site and buy more often.

New! Process sales for free.
Process your Google Checkout sales for free until the end of 2007!

Protect yourself from fraud.
Our fraud prevention tools stop invalid orders from reaching you. And our Payment Guarantee policy helps protect you from chargebacks.

You can find documentation here (http://docs.smallbusiness.miva.com/en-US/merchant/google/mm5/google_checkout_mm5.htm).

This is very exciting news!

A few questions:
1. Does Google checkout accepts Paypal?
2. Is there a way to print shipping labels directly from Google interface? I.e.: does Ship To information gets passed on with the credit card transaction?
3. If answer to #2 is yes, then what shipping options for USPS are available?

Do you have any examples of sites using it yet with MM5? Any plans for MM4?

Chuck,

Sebanza did the module for version 4 compiled, needs Empressa VM 5.06 I think. It's available for free also. If you can't get the link, I have it somewhere. Let me know.

To answer your questions:

1 - No, Google Checkout does not accept PayPal. Google Checkout is a payment module, much the same way that PayPal is.

2 - I am not sure, but we'll find out the answer for you as soon as possible.


Thanks,

Google Checkout is only for stores with a US merchant account - is that right?

Google Checkout was just launched in the UK a few days ago, but the module doesn't work with UK address, postcode and Currency.

Please fix it!
