Google Checkout Buyer Help

Payment Methods

Payment Methods

You can make purchases through Google Checkout using a credit, debit, or gift card. The types of cards accepted through Google Checkout are based on the seller's location. Other types of payments, such as checks, money orders, and direct bank account debit, aren't currently accepted.

Charges on Your Card Statement

Each time you make a purchase through Google Checkout, we'll let you know exactly how a charge will appear on your credit/debit card -- once you complete an order, check your receipt for details. You may also notice temporary authorizations.

Your credit/debit card will be charged by the seller, through your Google Checkout account. Note that the timing of the charge is based on the seller's discretion and the Google Checkout settings the seller has selected in their account. The standard format for charges on your statement is GOOGLE*Seller's name, but please check your receipt for exact details.

Google doesn't share your full payment details with the seller. Learn more about what information Google shares with sellers.
