About Google Checkout and Event Espresso
Google Checkout (Google Checkout is now Google Wallet for buyers) is a fast, secure checkout process that helps increase sales by bringing you more customers and allowing them to buy from you quickly and easily with a single account, online or in-store.
Event Espresso is the world’s most advanced event registration and ticketing platform for WordPress. With Event Espresso you can manage your events, collect payment and customer information, create printable tickets for attendees to bring and verify them at the door with our mobile ticketing apps. Event Espresso is integrated with dozens of other payment options and merchant accounts in addition to Google Checkout.
Google Wallet/Checkout touts the ability to:
- Attract buyers in over 140 countries
- Convert more sales
- Protect against fraud
- And more
Google Checkout Fees
Google Checkout’s fees are very comparable to other gateways, but we noticed they have graduated fees based on the amount you process with them each month (which PayPal doesn’t offer).
The transaction processing rates you’ll be charged each month will be determined by your sales volume during the prior calendar month. Learn more
| Monthly Sales Through Google Checkout | Fees Per Transaction |
|---|---|
| Less than $3,000 | 2.9% + $0.30 |
| $3,000 – $9,999.99 | 2.5% + $0.30 |
| $10,000 – $99,999.99 | 2.2% + $0.30 |
| $100,000 or more | 1.9% + $0.30 |
With its proprietary fraud detection technology, Google Checkout works to protect you from unwarranted chargebacks. In cases where you are found liable for a chargeback, you’ll be charged the full amount of the chargeback plus an additional $10 chargeback fee. Learn more about how Google Checkout protects you from fraud with our Chargeback Resolution Policy and Payment Guarantee Policy.
Google Checkout offers you the ability to partially capture funds and explicitly reauthorize an order if the initial 7-day authorization window expires. You will be charged $0.30 each time you charge an order.
Event Espresso is now integrated with dozens of merchant accounts where Google Checkout is just one of the latest. Download Event Espresso and activate Google Checkout today!
