Love pdshop, it has to be one of the best carts we have worked with and integrates with pretty much any payment processing.

Google checkout is great, many shopping cart providers now include it already built in, like pdshop

if you want to integrate google checkout into your shopping cart, checkout pdshop. I use it for all my client’s websites, you get a full ecommerce site with shoppign cart and can optionaly enable google if you want.

Google will probably own this industry just as it already owns the search engine industry. At this rate everything is going to be run/owned by Google

I think it’s essential that sellers have alternatives to Paypal. I’ve used Paypal for several years but have had problems recently with apparent hacking on my password. I can’t actually get into my account at the moment and am waiting for a solution from Paypal. If I had an alternative payment method established on my website, I wouldnt worry so much……which is why I’ve recently signed up with Google.
Small sellers such as myself dont need fancy shopping carts and buy-now buttons are more than good enough for my needs. Some online services want you to have a minimum monthly turnover, this isnt any good for the little guy, which is why Paypal has been so popular. However, total monopoly is a bad thing.
The spread of usage data is going to get harder and harder to stop, with so many companies (and governments) eager to grab all they can. It doesnt leave us much choice really, we either trade online and put up with it or we get off.

Google Checkout is fairly easy to implement. A bit like PayPal.

Google entering e-commerce will be hard for them, I think. People is getting aware of the privacy factor of Google. Take Google Chrome – it sends a lot of usage data their way, but it’s possible to disable that by using Un-Chrome. With a hosted e-commerce solution this is no-go, and they will get access to even more usage data.

The Google shopping cart is a good idea but needs to go a little farther. The cart itself is too simple as far as I can see which leads me to think I would need to see the admin part of it to tell if its worth using. A Good shopping cart needs to send an invoice and keep track of the buyers purchases.
Anybody that has a good idea in this area feel free to let me know.

Thanks Bob
