Google Checkout for Umbraco
- Google Checkout for Umbraco is a payment processing plugin that integrates Google Checkout functionality into Umbraco-powered websites, allowing merchants to accept payments. - It provides HTML and XML APIs to simplify integration of features like buy buttons and shopping carts. However, the HTML API does not provide full security for order details by default. - The plugin walks merchants through setting up a product catalog, categories, and individual products that can then be inserted as buy now buttons or included in a shopping cart for checkout.

Checkout HTML APIdoesn’t provide fool proof security out of the box.Because Order declaration is passed from Merchant site to Client via HTML form then onwards via a POST to Google it is possible for the order to be tampered with.Solution is that all orders must be eyeballed by a human before charging to ensure that pricing and order details are correct.Make sure AutoCharge is disabled (see api docs)Security Concerns

Editor's Notes
- #2 Personal introduction…Orcare is an IT Services company, we specialise in supporting growing businesses and charities. But the fact is that for most small businesses their website is their greatest IT investment. When developing websites we’ve used Umbraco exclusively for just over a year.…Orcare has been a full time job for me since July 2009, before then I was Project Manager Technology Introduction for British Airways where I specialised in the evaluation and introduction of enabling and cost reduction technologies, like Oracle Real Application Clusters, Red Hat Linux and SOA tools such as iLogJrules and Sonic ESB.
