Google Checkout Payment Problems on Ecommerce Sites
Any customers that use Google Checkout as a payment method on their ecommerce website should keep an eye on the service to make sure it is functioning as usual. Reports from online forums and Twitter users have mentioned that when a customer clicks to pay with Google Checkout, Google’s service is showing as offline. Apparently this is mainly affecting the UK Google Checkout service, however US users also seem to be having some problems.
I just ran a test and can’t personally see any problems with the service, suggesting that any problems have now been fixed. I’ll keep an eye on the problem and in the meantime I would make sure you have multiple payment methods set up on any of your websites just in case.
