Here’s something new from Google Checkout. It’s called the Google Checkout store gadget.<\/p>\n

It’s still in Beta and is called experimental by Google so there are a few bugs, but the ones they listed seem pretty minor and I can’t believe Google would release something like this unless it was about finished. Judging from their past history with important new applications I believe the bugs will be exterminated quickly.<\/p>\n

I haven’t tried the store out yet, but I will soon and report back to you when I do. According to Google here’s all you have to do to have a store on your site.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set up your Google Checkout merchant account<\/li>\n
  2. Define your products in a Google spreadsheet<\/li>\n
  3. Set up and embed your gadget<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can embed these gadgets in almost any web page, blog post or the sidebar of your blog.<\/p>\n

    Before this PayPal seemed to be the only good option for a shopping system that’s easy to embed in a static page, but this could challenge them. At first glance I see some things that even seem easier to use than PayPal’s cart, their sandbox (testing) section for one.\u00a0 PayPal does have quite a big lead in this area, but these gadgets could give Google Checkout quite a boost.<\/p>\n
