Introducing **Google Checkout^TM**Google Checkout online payment services became available in the United States on June 28, 2006.  And less than a year later CriminalBackgroundRecords.com added it as a payment option for its users when placing orders for criminal background checks.  More and more Internet buyers are switching from standard credit cards to alternate forms of payment when ordering online.  Google Checkout is one of these online payment alternatives, and CriminalBackgroundRecords.com is now welcoming its users.  We here at CriminalBackgroundRecords.com have recognized this trend and have pinpointed its momentum to a few simple facts; people want to avoid credit card fraud, want a safer way to order online without revealing their personal financial information to online retailers, and to simplify the ordering process by data entry reduction.

What is Google Checkout?

Google Checkout is an online payment processing service provided by Google Inc., aimed at simplifying the purchasing process of paying for products and services over the Internet. Users store their credit card, debit card and their shipping information in their Google Account.  This allows them to purchase goods at participating online stores at the click of a button.  In addition, Google Checkout also offers fraud protection, as well as a unified page for the purposes of tracking all purchases made and to display the current status of each order/purchase.

How does Google Checkout work?

With Google Checkout, buyers use a single username and password (instead of manually entering billing and shipping information) to complete purchases online.

Here’s how it works in a nutshell:

• Find something you’d like to purchase online that accepts Google Checkout.
• Add it to that online retailers shopping cart or ordering page
• Check out and complete your purchase, click the Google Checkout button.
  • You’ll need to log in to your account, or create one if you haven’t already.
• Review your order details and place order. That’s It!
  • After placing an order, you will get a confirmation email with receipt.

Why did CriminalBackgroundRecords.com add Google Checkout as a payment option?

Google Checkout lets you easily send money through the Internet without compromising the privacy of your credit card, debit card or other financial information.  Google Checkout makes online shopping quick and easy so you can order criminal history checks more conveniently than before.

Using Google Checkout at CriminalBackgroundRecords.com has these benefits:

• Shop with confidence.
  • Google Checkout’s fraud protection policy covers you against unauthorized purchases made through Google Checkout, and Google Checkout does not share your purchase history or full credit card number with sellers, not even CriminalBackgroundRecords.com…
• No more entering your billing & shipping info every time you place an order.
• No need to create multiple accounts and passwords.
• Track all your orders and shipping in one place.
• Control commercial spam.
  • You can keep your email address confidential, and easily turn off unwanted emails from online stores where you use Google Checkout.

CriminalBackgroundRecords.com added Google Checkout as a new form of payment for its criminal background reports because of the sheer size and influence Google Inc. has over the Internet.  We know and recognize that other methods of online payment; primarily PayPal (which is also available as a payment option for background checks on this site) currently has significantly more online users than Google Checkout.  However, we expect the use of Google Checkout as an online payment option to increase as the marketing arm of Google Inc. starts to flex.  We know that Google will continue to improve upon its current products and most certainly its Google Checkout product.  With the large amount of people power and financial resources Google has at its fingertips, we can expect this online payment alternative to continually improve.  For current updates and information regarding Google Checkout, you can visit the official blog of Google Checkout at: http://www.googlecheckout.blogspot.com/
