Creating a Google Checkout Account

Google Checkout is easy to use, and easy to set up.

Go to Google's Merchant Page - http://checkout.google.com/sell/

You will need to have a Google account (for email, IGoogle, Google Apps, etc.). You can set up an account from this page if needed. You may want to create a separate Google account from your personal one anyway.

Once you have logged in, you will be instructed to enter your business information and routing numbers for your bank. Google will verify your bank account and request that you check for small deposits made to the account.

Once you have configured your account, check your Settings Tab for these items:

Profile:
The Public business web site should be set to the your home page or the Waybilltracking.com/[your directory] page.

Preferences:
Set Order processing to "Automatically authorize and charge the buyer's credit card. "

Integration:
Once your account is set up, Google will assign you a Merchant ID and merchant Key. Please copy and paste these numbers into an email and send them to us so we can add them to the web page.

When a customer makes a payment, you will receive an email from Google Checkout. Make sure you go into Google Checkout and CHARGE and SHIP the sale. Ship Method can be OTHER since you the customer is paying for a service.

Google does not pay out instantly. Instead they wait a few days in case the customer cancels the order. You can see your balances in the Pay outs Tab.
