That wording is lacking a bit... the module will create and insert the googlecheckout Item tag on the BASK Page Template when installed. You can then further edit the placement or associated html.

Perfect, Thanks

In lieu of reading the documentation - can Google Checkout be one of the payment options from the pull down menu on the Payment screen or is the BASK screen the only location it can be used from?

It is only used in the form of a button and not a payment dropdown. The button should be placed on any screen you have your normal checkout button. Most common are the basket display and order login display.

the token is:
<mvt:item name="googlecheckout" param="button" />
be sure to add "google checkout" to the items for the page after you place the token
I tried to put it on the OCST page and it must conflict with the addendum module as it would not work. So I just put an image link to send the customer to the basket page where the Google link works fine. I added the same image link to the bottom of the mini basket as I was unable to make the token work from within the minibasket configuration.

Ahhh, okay. So in theory could it become a "Buy Now" button on a product page?

no, it gathers the contents of the basket and passes this to the google checkout similar to paypal. After the customer logs in google checkout interfaces with miva to calculate shipping.
but you can generate a buy this item button in your google account to place on a static page just as you can from paypal. You can't combine items with this button.
