Hi, I've used PayPal but before that I looked at Google Checkout. My problem was the fact that my merchant account needed to be in Italy, and at the moment this isn't supported by Google, only US and UK (at the time of writing the code).
The PayPal problem was limited to processing credit cards directly on our site, fortunately they offered another solution where you could (over https) send information and get other details back from them about the transaction id and buyer info and the like but no credit card details. All the actual processing was done on paypal. The user was transferred to their site and you set callback pages for when they finish the transaction. I had no other option but to implement this. So, as long as your merchant account is based in the accepted countries Google Checkout should be relatively simple to implement. Btw, app engine provides a https version of your site - but you need to set it in your appengine-web.xml (or the equivalent in python) <ssl-enabled>true</ssl-enabled> then you can access your site through https://myapp.appspot.com and if necessary indicate callback URLs to your payment processor in https. This is perfectly acceptable for PayPal and Checkout (even though it's not technically YOUR certificate) Hope this helps a little, Charlie On 28 Apr, 16:49, Fredrik Bonander <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Have anyone used Google Checkout with GAE and the Checkout XML API?
