Hi Everyone,
I wanted to see what credit card processor you prefer between Google Checkout and PayPal.

I built a website using Google Checkout a while back which you can see by visiting http://www.garagestoragestore.com/

The conversions have not been where we would like them to be and I am wondering if it is because not enough people (general public) are familiar with Google Checkout.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I doubt its a processor awareness issue, However i personally use paypal as the IPN is much more easy to integrate into custom systems.

I would also use Gcheckout however I would use paypal first.

On to your question.
Cant say ive ever seen this issue. It may be the case with other more unknown processors however as its google i doubt anyone would think twice.

I would personally use Amazon for processing payments. From what I can see it is the cheapest.

I haven't encounter the problem yet but I also thought that it is not the unknown issue..

Although I've been thinking, why not use both paypal and google check out on your site? just a thought.. but possible, right?

I just don't want two "add to cart" buttons on the product page. I would be fine with them having a choice of how to proceed on a checkout summary page.

I run an ecommerce store and get about 25% of payments from Paypal, 60% from Debit/Credit cards and about 5% from Google checkout

That may well lose you the impulse buyers. Give the punters every opportunity to buy the product.
