It seems like e-junkie customers will NOT be affected by Google's move to Wallet. This is a message on my payments page:



ATTENTION: On November 20, 2013, Google Checkout will no longer be supported. Sellers of digital goods on Google (Google Play, Chrome Web Store, Offers Marketplace and Google Wallet for digital goods) will automatically transition to Google Wallet and will not be impacted.



We qualify under the phrase "Google Wallet for digital goods", yes?

If you are selling digital goods, yes, you should be able to continue using Google Wallet.



From what we've been able to tell at this early stage, our existing Google Checkout integration should continue working as-is with Google Wallet for Digital Goods beyond November. By that time, we will have means in place to detect when an order contains tangible goods, so we can disable the Google Checkout/Wallet checkout button in the buyer's cart in that case.

Thank you for these many good notes. I'm bookmarking this page for future reference.

Just to Confirm: Google checkout will stop working on e-Junkie on Nov 20th for all tangible goods that require shipping. All digital goods are fine..?

Actually, we just got word from Development today clarifying their plans regarding the retirement of Google Checkout. They will be upgrading our integration with 2CheckOut to support full-cart checkouts before Nov. 20th, which will take priority over implementing Google Wallet for Digital Goods. Please see this post in our System Status & Updates subforum for details:

Thank you so much for this excellent answer and the integration that you have in the works.

Bye bye Google Checkout :/

Hello Bitcoin?

So, I just registered at 2CheckOut and then I noticed that on the e-junkie page: http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/selling-with-2checkout.htm

it says that I have to edit EACH PRODUCT to sell with 2CO. I have hundreds of products. Is this really the case? Because if so, that is NOT a feasible solution from my perspective. I did not have to do this when I started using Google Payments. Please advise.

That will only be required if you wish to start using 2CO right away with Buy Now buttons (not Cart buttons). Those steps (D. and F.) WILL NOT be necessary once we implement full-cart checkout integration with 2CO. New APIs at 2CO's end will allow us to pass-thru product details from our end without having to match up to an existing product profile at 2CO's end anymore, so product-level settings will become unnecessary.



Note that we have NOT YET completed this upgrade, so our current 2CO integration that you linked is the only method that works for 2CO with us right now. Meanwhile, if you'd rather wait for full cart support, you can go ahead and register with 2CO, set up your 2CO Seller ID, Secret Word, Approved URL and Return Method, and then once we finish upgrading our 2CO integration, a 2CO checkout button will appear in your cart and work with your existing product settings and button codes.

Hello E-junkieGuru, on a simpler note: My site currently only has "Add to cart" and "View Cart" buttons, all payment processing happens from the cart.



Do I need to do anything about the Google Checkout situation? Or will E-Junkie automatically update my shopping cart to reflect the absence of Google Checkout when it happens?



I ask because I got an email from Google stating that it appears my site still uses Google Checkout and I should remove it from my site, but there's nothing to remove (I think)... everything my customers order goes into the shopping cart and from there the payment options are shown by you, right? Is there a setting I should change or anything?



Thanks!

You don't need to do anything. If you leave things as they are, you can continue accepting payments with Google Checkout right up to Nov. 20th when Google deactivates it, then we will stop showing a GC checkout button in our cart after that point. If you wish to stop accepting payments with GC before then, you can simply go to Seller Admin > Edit Profile, delete your Google Checkout Merchant ID and Key, then click Submit to apply changes.

Thanks Guru!

Thank you from me, too!

I was unable to register for 2CO. Basically, I was declined (I am assuming because of medical bills on my consumer report).



Does this mean my only option now for selling ebooks through E-Junkie is Paypal?

You might consider trying ClickBank:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/selling-with-clickbank.htm



Typically merchants using ClickBank do so to take advantage of their affiliate network (which you may wish to do anyway), but there's no reason you couldn't use them as just a payment processor. One caveat is that we can only support ClickBank with Buy Now buttons, not as a checkout option with Cart buttons, so you wouldn't be able to use any of our features which depend on the cart:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.buttons.buy-now.htm

So we are drawing very near the time when Google checkout is going to close. But it does not appear that E-Junkie has integrated 2Checkout yet.



When will that be done?

I've asked Development for a status update on this. As far as I'm aware, we should still be on schedule to have our 2CO support upgraded to support full cart checkouts before Nov. 20th.

Development has confirmed they will have our 2CO upgrade ready for final testing and any minor tweaking necessary by the end of this week, so it should definitely be polished and fully live for all clients well before Nov. 20th. Thanks to you all for your patience and understanding.

Thank YOU for your good notes!
