WeaKnees.com - Electronics
Google Checkout has been a perfect fit for a relatively small companies like us -- from the buyer's point of view, they don't need to trust us with their payment data to purchase our products. Many are also happy to avoid re-entering information on our website that they've entered countless times before (name, address, etc.). They simply provide their Checkout login and password, and they're one step away from finishing the transaction. From our perspective, the benefits go deeper. In addition to capturing extra business through increasing customer confidence, the Google Checkout badge is key. We receive a greater clickthrough rate, which raises our AdWords ranking without raising our cost. And, on top of that, we avoid paying fees for the credit card processing.

Since we first started offering it last week, we've processed over $2,000 in sales through Google Checkout. And because of our investment in AdWords, we've already saved $50 in transaction fees. The Google Checkout badge has also substantially increased the traffic we receive from AdWords―in just the last week, our average clickthrough rate has increased by 67%, from 1.5% to 2.5%. We've also seen our cost per conversion come down.

We're excited about Google Checkout because it provides consumers with a convenient, safe, and quality platform through which to shop. Since our business focuses exclusively on magazine subscriptions, Google Checkout offers a way for our customers to use one checkout system to subscribe to different titles across publishers. We're seeing strong Google Checkout adoption among our customers, and the service is growing at a faster rate than we typically see with most new checkout options. We've also seen it become a source of incremental sales with a positive impact on conversion rates.
