I heard it mentioned here to simply add another Google check out account when you want to use it on other sites but can't figure out how to do this.

I have the checkout set up for my ecrater store but would like to also use it on my website. I am unable to use on both now because of the API call back function (whatever that is) Rolling Eyes

I searched the Google site and can't find anything.

Make sure you open a separate Google Checkout account for the non-eCrater site. There are other sites where Google Checkout is already integrated with their shopping cart like eCrater has. People are mostly talking about that.

For starting to add it to your site where no such cart exists (a personal web site for example), I think you need to create buy now or checkout buttons. There is a difference between thos buttons make sure you read about that. https://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=39011&hl=en_US&ctx=buynowdifference I think they do charge for the use of those buttons. Not sure of details, since I never did this, just read about it a while back from curiosity.

There might be some fancy things to set a shopping cart. That I would not know about.

You should probably read the following:

I still can't find out how to open a second account. Confused

Googles site is a bit tough to find anything on like they purposely hide things. I tried the help section but nothing there.

Anyone here that has added a second account, please let me know how you did this.


Thanks,

Bob

I only have one Google account however it seems to me that you may have to open the second account with a different (or second) email address. I did a Google search & found this forum thread that seems to confirm that assessment. Hope this helps to answer your question.

Hmmm, I just tried doing that but all it seems to allow me is a buying account with the second sign up.

When I tried to get a checkout account, it said to sign in with my other info.

Google sure makes things hard. I can't figure this thing out. Rolling Eyes

By chance, are you trying to use the general Google signup rather than the merchant signup? Here's the merchant signup link. Try again & see if it works for you this time.

Hi, I just tried the link you gave and it still won't allow me to sign up.

Gives this message:

A user with the email you specified already exists. Already have a google account? Try logging in.

Are you trying to signup using an alternate email address rather than the email address you currently use for your existing Google account? It's necessary to do that since you're starting a whole new account. The email addresses are what differentiate the accounts.

Good luck!

Yeh I did change the email and password on the second account.

I'm thinking I might have to clear the cookies or something because somehow it's recognizing my first account. Confused

I'll have to mess with it again tomorrow.


Thanks,

Bob
