Removal of Google Checkout

[AlloftheAbove]

Google Checkout is still on the eBid home page. At least on the US version I see.

...as of April 13, 2014, Google Checkout is still listed under the Personal Details page...

Is Google Checkout going somewhere? Gee, I'm always the last to know.

Is Google Checkout going somewhere? Gee, I'm always the last to know.

Well from Nov. 2011

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/...vent_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 (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

It is still being used in other venues also. Wonder if there is a large fee attached to having it changed to Google Wallet.

It wouldn't apply to most sellers here as Google Wallet is only for the purchase of digital downloads... like those on Google Play. It's not meant for physical merchandise.

See my previous thread about this for more info...

Post # 4 seems to explain it pretty clearly. The OP seems to be alluding to the fact that merchants using "Google Checkout" should change their text to Google Wallet. Honestly, this is not an issue to be spinning wheel about or losing sleep over.

google checkout no longer exists

google wallet is not equivalent to google checkout
