Re: Google Checkout Failing Some Big Tests
The problem with a Google Checkout only online storefront is the same one has with a PayPal only storefront . . . it doesn't pass my Mom test.
My Mom has a computer. My Mom has a credit card. My Mom makes purchases online. My Mom does not use PayPal to make purchases on line. I don't think my Mom has ever heard of Google Checkout. My Mom does NOT like learning new tricks. If she was at a website wanting to buy a widget and the only ways to pay were either PayPal and/or Google, she'd click "back" and find a merchant who accepted credit cards in the old fashioned traditional way. |

Good point, Iron Chick. All ecomm merchants NEED a merchant account! |
