Google’s shopping cart gets some upgrades
October 29th, 2008 in: General, Shopping carts
It looks like Google’s shopping cart got some upgrades this week. Google introduced their cart about 6 months ago and just added some new features this week.
The cart quickly integrates into your website and allows your customers to checkout through Google checkout. The cart is now a little more advanced, and stays on your website.
This should still be an easy means of adding a simple cart to a website. It is still limited by the fact Google Checkout is the only supported payment method, but it should suffice for smaller requirements and merchants that don’t want to use Paypal or a traditional merchant account.

Google Checkout is still not available in countries outside US and UK. To signup for Google Shopping Cart one is required to sign up for Google Checkout first. It will also be interesting what other features will be released by google cart.
Can this product be used for downloadable goods ?
i never knew google had a cart.. very interesting
I’ve never used Google’s shopping cart – What are the advantages over, say Paypal? LOL, other than the fact Paypal is terrible!
