Ok, no specifics....but I have used Goggle Check out 1 time and did not care for it. I cannot tell you why, but Its somewhere in the steps required inorder to use the check out....seems like it had something to do with my email addie being YAHOO and required that I make a gmail account. But then I may be wrong, I just remember I did not like to use the Google checkout. Nor did I like the fact that they took $1 right off the top of my card before the actual transaction happened putting me over the amount available on the card. And that might be what really was the problem and not my email account.

Now Paypal is easy. It allows me to add new credit cards or change between them to make the purchase.

Never used Google Checkout, but use Pay Pal or my credit card a lot. Pay Pal does charge a certain amount when you receive money from a buyer (or from a donation) but not if you are buying something. Easy to set up and easy to use.

Tks for the advise guys, reason why i'm asking cos i was toying the idea of adding a free & ready make shopping cart with paypal & google check out thus at least online customer could order direct & pay direct.

I have infact though of just adding a shopping cart feature & linked a payment gateway of bank features on my site but that would cost more $$$ to engage someone to set it up on my webbie, but even then for payment gateway for bank, there's oso similar surcharge if i'm not wrong

I would go with PayPal, its so much easier.

The more I think of it the more I think I am right, the stupid arse GooglePay required me to make a gmail account to complete my purchase. Like I really needed another stupid email account, thats like requiring me to sign up on Facebook......So dont do that either, cause I dont need a Facebok account. :)
