Google Checkout Is No Longer Free

Well for most people at least. That is because all non-profit organizations using Google Checkout will not have to pay any fees until January 1, 2009. Everyone else will now have to pay Google each time a transaction comes through using the Google Checkout payment system. Google Checkout started in June 2006 and was created in order to compete with PayPal. If you host your web site with IPOWERWEB you should have no problem setting up Google Checkout as a method to accept payments.
