cwar05 · 09-24-2007, 01:40 PM

Hi all,

I m an unsigned musician trying to promote my music by myself. For that, i need a the possibility to integrate paypal buttons or any other that could do the job.

all the tracks will be sold separately with a price between 0.50 euros and 0.99 euros.

I have to say that I m a french citizen living now and for 1 year in Canada.

is Google check out available in those countries?

if yes, I just wanna know if is better than paypal and why.

Thanks for your answers

More people use Paypal than Google Check out because they offer many features and services so i guess they still prefer Paypal than the other one..

Paypal is still the best for me but I don't think if some member here will agree.

Paypal is definitely more widely accepted but if you plan on selling a lot, look into a merchants account.

I think paypal is a little easier to manage. The google checkout I found a little more confusing, but perhaps I wasn't understanding it entirely.

bad thing with paypal is that, if they found out that the money you are receiving is from adult biz, they have the right to mess up your account.
