Well I have read the post about PayPal buttons and Google Checkout buttons and I have removed it from my Cart.aspx.
I think someone said it right, PayPal wants me, more than I want them.
No how about Google Checkout. I want to move the button from Cart to Checkout.
What if I reword the Button on Cart.aspx from Checkout to Review Order and Shipping Information?
I still have not been able to get Google Checkout to work, it comes up with a reidiculous shipping amount and never matches the shipping on the Checkout.aspx page
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Chris,
If you use carrier based rates in your store, Google Checkout will never work, even after they offer their carrier based rates -- unless you match exactly the quotes customers will be getting from a Shipping Estimate on the cart page and what Google comes up with, you are going to look bad because it will never match. And you can't move the Google Checkout like the PayPal because customers will pick shipping on the Checkout page and then it will not carry over to Google.
In my estimation Google Checkout ONLY works if you have free shipping or flat rates - and because of this I believe Google Checkout will not survive. |

Google Checkout only waits 3 seconds for your web site to give it the shipping costs after your customer has picked a shipping address. If your site does not respond within 3 seconds, Google Checkout will display the default shipping costs. You set the default shipping cost for each shipping method in BVAdmin > Options > Site Settings > Payments > Google Checkout.
Regarding he PayPal and Google Checkout buttons, I'm more of a rule follower than a rule breaker. If I did not like the PayPal or Google rules, then I would not use their services. |

Andy -- I am like you -- but here is the question: Where have I (or anyone else) been shown or asked or told about the PayPal rule about the button on the cart page? The way I see it, I have had a business PayPal account for 5 years and it was never required -- simply because I switch carts -- and I agreed to no terms that I know of that said I had to have a PP button on the cart page -- I'm grandfathered in! :-)
Seriously -- I will have to search the PayPal site for any such terms, but they have never, to my knowledge, been presented to me. So they may have a rule that the button needs to be green and yellow stripes -- if they don't tell me the rule, I can't be breaking it.
If they did push the issue, I would have to make the decision -- either way you lose business (and I firmly believe that you lose business by having the PayPal button on the cart page), so it would then be how much? |
