Google Check out ?

Things change I've changed · 18 May 2007 at 13:33

I've noticed Google checkout are offering £10 off when you spend over £30 at a lot of stores online, I puchased an item from a store recently and they did indeed take £10 off the total,

Is this only for the first purchase or can I go to another store and have £10 off again ?

I believe its for each transaction.

really, thats sweet, I'm guessing google are subsidising this then, must cost them a fortune surely for every puchase.

Just remember though that you'll have to pay separate delivery costs with each transaction instead of one single delivery option, so that will negate some of the saving.

Saying that though, I bought a new motherboard for £30 delivered through Google checkout last week........which was nice.

I've seen some online stores that use google checkout give you delivery for pence if your preperd to wait a week for it to arrive, I really like the whole idea, not just the £10 offer, it's just so simple, whack in your password at the checkout and your done,

I wonder if OcUK would ever consider having a Google checkout option ?, would increase sales surely, can't see it doing any harm.

Is there really any point though?

This £10 off offer is only till the end of May I believe?

Google Checkout is fine for small businesses, and small transactions like ebay, but with companies like OcUK I'm quite happy to just pay directly with my debit card.

there are some massive companys using it online, bigger than OcUK, I can't name them though as they are competitors, and when you pay using google check you can uae any card you like with it, so if you want to link your debit card to it it's fine, it's no where near as complicated as paypal, you just feel in a form simular to a form you fill out for an online purchase and thats it, job done, no more filling out forms just fill in your password and thats it, it keeps a log of all your purchases as well which is quite handy.
