Google Checkout FREE transaction processing beyond the holidays

Google Checkout's free transaction processing offer has been extended to February 1, 2008. Considering how busy this time of the year is for merchants, Google has finally decided to extend the free transaction processing offer an extra month -- to February 1, 2008. And there are no monthly, setup or gateway fees.

After February 1, 2008, Google Checkout will be transitioning back to its standard fee structure. You will still be able to earn free transaction processing if you use Google AdWords – for every $1 you spend on AdWords, you will be able to process $10 of sales through Checkout for free.

For additional sales, you'll be charged a low 2.0% plus $0.20 per transaction. Fees are the same for all payment types (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).

Google AdWords can help grow your business by connecting you with customers just as they are searching online for what you sell. With AdWords, you're always in control of your budget and you'll pay only when people click on your ads. If you're an AdWords advertiser, make sure you link your AdWords account with Checkout by the end of January to earn free transaction processing moving forward.

Note that your Checkout and AdWords accounts must be based on the same currency to be linked.
