Google onto PayPal’s UK turf

By Vivek Puri

According to early reports emerging, Google is going to launch it’s checkout service in UK on 13th April. With this launch merchants with address and bank account numbers based in UK will be able to integrate the Google Checkout service on their sites and shopping carts.

Currently there is no trace of UK Checkout option on any of the Google sites. Will watch for when the switch gets flipped.
