If you are a seller on Gently Used Stuff Online Auction site, you will need to set up your Google Checkout account and edit your information in "My Account" in the Members Area before being able to select Google checkout for your auctions. To do this you will need to first set up an account with Google, specify integration settings on Google, then enter details into your "MyAccount" area (full details below).
1) You will need to sign-up for a Google Checkout Account at the below url: https://checkout.google.com/sell/signup
2) Visit the below url to integrate your payment settings for GentlyUsedStuff. https://checkout.google.com/sell/settings?section=Integration
**Make note of your Google Merchant ID and your Google Merchant Key - you need this info for your GentlyUsedStuff direct pay settings (step 4 below).
* DO NOT check the box for "My company will only post digitally signed carts."
* Enter your API callback url, which is: https://www.gentlyusedstuff.com/pp_gc.php
* Check the XML as your call back method.
* Click the save button
3) Click on the preferences link on the left side of the Google integration page.
* Check the box that says: Automatically authorize and charge the buyer's credit card. VERY IMPORTANT!
* Click the save preferences button
4) Now log in to your GentlyUsedStuff account. You will then click the "My Account" tab in the members area, then click the "Manage Account" sub-tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page, to the "direct payment settings" section. Here you will need to enter your Google merchant ID and your Google merchant key, then click the update button.
Now your Google direct pay is configured. Auctions you list from this point will now have "Google Direct Pay" as an option. Which means buyers can pay you directly from the GentlyUsedStuff Online Auction site, for auctions they win from you.
