Google Checkout resources for merchants & integrators

[Woodymon]

GC recently updated their TOS and Program Policies. Many Zen Cart
merchants will be glad to hear GC has added flexibility to their GC
button placement location policies!

If you have questions about the GC TOS or policies it is best to post
Google Checkout support ;-)

Besides submitting your Google Checkout wishes to the "BIG" Google
Checkout Wishlist discussion page at
http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-developers-forum/web/new-feature-suggestions-for-google-checkout

You can now also submit your top three wishlist and feature requests
to http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest

As a reminder, both URL's above are for submitting requests directly
to Google Checkout and relate to Google Checkup support and service
offerings. Not intended for requesting features in the "Google
Checkout mod for Zen Cart" (that is, features/services must be first
generally available through Google Checkout, before support can be
integrated into the Zen Cart mod code).

If you have specific functionality needs that directly relate to the
Zen Cart mod then post a new thread on this discussion forum at
http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-for-zen-cart-mod-support

Happy New Year!
