Google Checkout and Ecommerce Templates
Latest News: Now available for UK merchants too!
Ecommerce Templates has worked very closely with Google to be among the first shopping carts to support Google's new payment system, Google Checkout.
As the integration has been done for you, receiving payments through your store using Google Checkout is a very simple process.
- Obtain your Merchant ID and Key from the Google Checkout sign up wizard under Settings > Integration after logging in and signing up there.
- Place those in the fields provided in the Ecommerce Template payment provider admin page
- Set the callback URL in your Google Checkout Merchant Center and you are ready to go.

If you are new to Ecommerce Templates then after purchasing the Dreamweaver, Frontpage, CSS, Generic or Golive version you will first need to upload all the store files to the server and make the database connection before following the above steps. All the general set up instructions for your store are outlined in our downloadable User Manual.
How it works
Once you have completed the steps, you should be all set to allow your customers to purchase through your store using Google Checkout. Customers can easily identify the Google payment method with the checkout button that will be generated on your cart and checkout pages
Once the purchase has gone through you will be notified via email of the transaction and it will also be posted to your Ecommerce Template admin orders page. You will also probably want to sign into your Google Checkout Merchant Center to verify the details of the order. The buyer will also receive notification of the sale via email.
Please note that our digital download plug-in is currently incomaptible with Google Checkout
