easyhosting Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi All Just got this email from Google Checkout Hello, Thank you for using Google Checkout. We’re writing about an important change coming to Google Checkout over the next few months - Google Checkout is becoming part of Google Wallet. To help you learn more about this transition, we’ll be hosting a webinar (https://google.connectsolutions.com/checkouttowallet/event/event_info.html). Please note that space in the webinar is limited, but we’ll have a recording posted for those who aren’t able to attend. Google Wallet is a virtual wallet that securely stores payment information and makes paying fast both online and in-store. On the web, buyers simply click a Google Wallet button to make quick and secure purchases with their saved payment information. Buyers can also use the Google Wallet mobile app to make purchases at thousands of retail store locations with just a tap of the phone. Google Checkout buyers will now manage all Google Checkout and Google Wallet orders at http://wallet.google.com/manage. Buyers will be able to make purchases with their existing accounts at sites that accept either Google Checkout or Google Wallet. At this time, there's no action required from you. In early 2012, we’ll ask merchants, organizations and developers who use Google Checkout to sell items or collect donations to change any website text that talks about Google Checkout to Google Wallet. No additional integration or other technical updates will be necessary. If you use Google Checkout through a third party shopping cart, your cart provider will make any necessary changes. If you have questions or want to learn more, please attend or view our webinar and visit our website (http://www.google.com/payments/index.html). We’re looking forward to bringing these new Google Wallet features to your customers and will email you again in the next few months to let you know when to expect the Google Wallet button. Sincerely, The Google Checkout Team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m8internet Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks like nothing more than a branding exercise and the option for the end user to save their details for easier access, ie an online wallet preloaded with funds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m8internet Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Presumably the reference for merchants that an update / amendment will be required during 2012, suggests a change of Domain Name will be implemented 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixDot Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I also don't see it affecting us too much, if anything it could improve the general view of the GC payment process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
