yes BJ, google checkout will be just another payment option, if added to ofbiz. But i think it can be a graet value addition. Many business owners, including me, do not really like the idea of storing and processing the credit card myself, i rather prefer to use paypal or like. Its not just to save on costs but processing cards directly can be quite daunting for a relatively new business given the techincal and legal issues. Therefore having more options can make ofbiz more attractive to new and growing businesses.

So if someone already has a website, probably the host does not support java, so ofbiz could run. If someone has a host where ofbiz can run then it has its own Website, built in. Therefore all the goggle would be is another gateway option, along with all the others that ofbiz has already. also the Java code they use has to be ver 1.5 compatible, and ofbiz is not there quite yet, even thought some have got to run on 1.5. http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/samplecode.html I work with Yahoo stores that offer paypal as an alternative to straight CC processing. Not that many customers like to use PayPal. However you can work the war file you can integrate it into ofbiz. Just look at the other payment processors for examples.
