Why are we only supporting Google Checkout..?

Google Checkout has a few advantages for you the customer and us the retailer over more traditional methods of taking payment.

First and foremost amongst these is the excellent fraud protection that Google Checkout offers. By using such an internet giant you can be assured that all possible measures are being taken to protect your card against faudulent use.

Advanced risk modelling
Google employs advanced risk modelling to detect fraudulent transaction cues across Google services. Google also actively leverages external, cross-industry resources, such as worldwide fraud blacklists, to prevent fraudulent users from accessing Google Checkout in the first place.

Automatic fraud detection
Google proactively identifies and filters out fraudulent transactions. All fraudulent transactions are immediately cancelled after being detected. Any active orders associated with the same credit card will also be cancelled to protect you.

Supplemental manual review
If a transaction appears to be high-risk, Google will restrict the order to protect you from shipping the order to a fraudulent buyer. During this time, our Google Checkout specialists will review the situation further, cancel the transaction if it is fraudulent or release it if it is valid. We may also contact you directly as a backup precaution.

Information sharing
Google Checkout provides buyer verification information within the buyer's order details to help you run your own fraud checks as needed. If you are concerned about a particular order or if you are unable to contact the buyer with the information we provide, you have the option to cancel the order to avoid further risk.

Chargeback resolution
All merchants are covered by our Chargeback Resolution Policy: our specialists will evaluate all chargebacks you receive through Google Checkout and, whenever possible, dispute them on your behalf. As an additional benefit under our Chargeback Resolution Policy, we also guarantee payment for all transactions that are eligible for Google's Payment Guarantee Policy: If you receive a chargeback on an eligible transaction and provide Google with sufficient supporting documentation within ten calendar days after receiving a request from Google, Google will reimburse you within a week of receiving and reviewing the information.
