For you webmasters that manage sites that sell online, we'd like to introduce you to one of our
newest products,
Google Checkout.
Google Checkout is a checkout process that you integrate with your site(s), enabling your
customers to quickly buy from you by providing only a single username and password. From there,
you can use Checkout to charge your customers' credit cards and process their orders.
Users of Google's search advertising program,
AdWords, get the added benefit of
the Google Checkout badge and transaction processing. The Google Checkout badge is an icon that
appears on your AdWords ads and improves the effectiveness of your advertising by letting
searchers know that you accept Checkout. Also, for every $1 you spend on AdWords, you can
process $10 of Checkout sales, without payment. Even if you don't use AdWords, you can still process
sales for a low 2% and $0.20 per transaction. So if you're interested in implementing Google
Checkout, we encourage you to
check out the Google Checkout documentation.
If you're managing the sites of other sellers, you might want to sign up for our
merchant referral program
where you can earn cash for helping your sellers get up and running with Google Checkout. You
an earn $25 for every merchant you refer that processes at least 3 unique customer transactions
and $500 in Checkout sales. And you can earn $5 for every $1,000 of Checkout sales processed by
the merchants you refer. If you're interested, you can
apply to the program.
