I would like to let people know that Google has contacted me about a public business webpage URL, even though I checked the box that says I do not have one. The reason is because Freshbooks uses a Google checkout button instead of an invoice, which means that Google requires you to have a public business website URL in your settings.

Would have been perfect if Google could do recurring payments…. without that feature it’s pointless for my business !

Hi all -

I’m wondering about the 3% transaction fee from google, and if there’s any way to automatically add 3% to an invoice if a client opts to pay online?

I would prefer to pass that cost on to the client, but only to clients that want to pay online, and not increase all invoice totals by 3%. Thoughts/ideas?

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me when checkout will be available for people in Canada. It has the best Donation feature that I have found and I would really like to use it.

I won’t allow Google to pull my credit report at any time they wish (have you read the User Agreement???).

Paypal or authorize are always preferred.

I’d like to echo the request for a video (or at least screen shots) showing each part of the process so we can see what our clients will see.

As a consultant, my office is in my home…which means all my credit cards share the same mailing address. When trying to do a test run on my own, Google refuses to accept the payment, with an error message saying you can’t send money to yourself.

Would reeeeeeeally like to know what the client sees after they hit the “pay” link, as well as how the process moves into Freshbooks from there.

Have you tried entering the email address associated with your Google Apps account in the Google Checkout signup at http://checkout.google.com/sell ?

I have a Google Apps account for my business. I’d like to use that account to do Google Checkout setup, but I can’t figure out how to setup Google Checkout on my Google Apps account. I’ve searched for solution, but have had no success. Any idea?
