I'm not familiar with the state of the art of shipping and getpaid.

Correct. There are several payment processors for getpaid that
redirect the user to a third party site to complete the credit card
component. So that you don't have to take customers card details over
the web using your own server. The googlecheckout and paypall
processors (among others such as pxpay) follow that model. Within
getpaid these are called asynchronous processors.

Ah... here is the problem... the core of getpaid does not really
support asynchronous processors. All the asynchronous processors for
getpaid rely on using overrides to patch getpaid. There is a chance
that this may be resolved by the recent work to support multiple
payment processors. See
http://code.google.com/p/getpaid/issues/detail?id=167

Oh yeah - there is a small usability feature of googlecheckout that
relies on your site having a valid SSL cert. (Not self signed.) That's
not critical to using googlecheckout and does not affect the security
of the customers credit card details.
