Interesting Google Checkout penetration chart. Do you have an updated version with more recent data? Have the trends changed much in the past 12 months?

While we say that Google is struggleing to hold up against PayPal, its important to understand that they are fairly new in this field, and PayPal has been around for years and has dominated the market so far.

What would be interesting to see is what is the number of registered users Google Checkout has? What is the transaction volume? $ volume? etc. I think, Google Checkout is a welcome player in the market and is here to stay.

Do you have any latest data after April? Esp. given that they have expanded to many new online merchants in recent months.

I am so grateful to see there is finally a real alternative to PayPal. I have not been a PayPal fan & find PayPal to be only viable for small ticket items, subscriptions or ebay transactions. It is too hard to get your money out of PayPal – who wants a monthly limit to the amount of money you can withdraw or be forced to use a debit card to buy other stuff??? Who wants the hassle of slowly withdrawing your money?

I love the incentives for AdWords users! I have been using AdWords to effectively grow my business over the past few years. Now Google is rewarding me for services I already use… it is a win win. I continue to grow my business & get to process my orders through Google Checkout. It appears I may have to FIRE my merchant account provider now due to the fees they charge. This is a HUGE savings annually.

I have begun to use Google Checkout for my mid-ticket items & it seems flawless thus far!

Thank you Google!

Hmmm — I don’t understand the internet crowds fascination with PayPal and Google Checkout. At the end of the day they are simply wrappers for Visa and MasterCard – you know — the successful payment players. The day either one is a threat to the TRILLIONS that go through those systems, I’m sure both will be cut off a the knees.

I would keep my eyes on the innovative payments players: secure-ebill, PaidByCash, and Tempo payments. These compnies can shake up the payments landscape. (Plus it makes for a more interesting discussion — really, Google’s getting a bit long in the tooth).
