How do I accept checkout via Google Checkout on Bonanzle?
With a few steps, you can setup your booth to accept payment via Google Checkout. While Google Checkout setup is more involved than setting up Paypal, advanced sellers have found that Google Checkout offers lower fees and an arguably better user experience. For advanced sellers, it should only take a matter of minutes to get Google Checkout working with your booth. For novices, it will probably take closer to 30 minutes -- if you want something faster/easier, consider Paypal.
Here's how to setup Google Checkout to work with Bonanzle:
- Sign up for a Google Checkout (henceforth, GC) seller account. Even if you already have a GC account, you still need a new account to use with Bonanzle,
since each GC account can only send status notification to one place (in this case, Bonanzle).
You can sign up through this button:
.
Answer Google's questions and set up your account. - After you complete signup, you should find yourself at a screen similar to that below. Click on the "Settings" tab,
and then click on "Integration" link on the left hand menu.
In a new window, open Bonanzle, click "Sell", and click the "Edit" button next to the "Payment types accepted." Make sure
that "Google Checkout" is checked, along with any other payment methods you want to accept. Then click the "Save" button to your immediate right to
finish your edit.- Click the "Update Booth" button (or "Activate Booth" button, if you haven't yet activated your booth) near the upper right hand area of your screen.
- You will now be prompted for your Google Merchant ID and Google Merchant Key. Switch back to your Google window, where the
Merchant ID and Merchant Key are located on the right area of the screen (see below). Copy and paste both of these values into their
appropriate fields on Bonanzle.
- From Bonanzle, highlight the following address and press CTRL-C: https://www.bonanzle.com/offers_checkout/google_callback
- Go back to the Google Integration window, click the field labeled "API Callback URL" and press CTRL-V to paste the callback URL.
Leave the "Callback method" as XML. Then click the "Save" button below that field to save the API Callback URL.
- Return to Bonanzle, and click "Update Seller Account" to commit your Google Merchant ID and Merchant Key to Bonanzle.
And you're done! When buyers checkout, they'll now be given the option to checkout with Google Checkout. Google will email you when you receive an offer through them.
