http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Google+Checkout+Configuration


To setup Google Checkout Merchant-Accounts you can use the following links:
TEST Merchant Account : http://sandbox.google.com/checkout/sell
LIVE Merchant Account :  http://checkout.google.com/sell

Google Checkout does not allow you to use the same account as both the customer and the merchant for a transaction. Therefore you will need to create both a Merchant Account and a Customer Account for testing purposes.

You can create your TEST Customer Account(s) at http://sandbox.google.com/checkout .

Adhere to the following guidelines when setting up your test accounts:

  •  Skip any sections that ask for your bank account information.
  • Enter any name and address as long as the State field contains a valid two-letter abbreviation for a U.S. state and the Zip Code field contains a five-digit or nine-digit zip code. (You do not need to enter the correct zip code for the address.)
  • Enter any 10-digit phone number for the Phone Number field.
  • Use one of the credit card numbers in the following table:
     Card Type  Card Number  CVC  Expiration Date
     American Express 3782 8224 6310 005  any four digits any four digits
     Discover  6011 1111 1111 1117  any four digits any four digits
     MasterCard  5555 5555 5555 4444  any four digits any four digits
     VISA  4111 1111 1111 1111  any four digits any four digits

Since Google Checkout was released earlier this year, that subdomain has been serving up what appears to be the Google Checkout pages. However, anyone who has tried to login would've noticed that they wouldn't have been able to sign in using their usual Google Account. Furthermore, if anyone creates a new account from within these pages, it's not a 'real' Google Account – it's actually some kind of test account.

(Just try to sign in to the 'sandbox' pages using your normal account and it won't work. Similarly, try signing in to the real Google Accounts pages with your 'sandbox' login and that won't work either.)

It appears that the 'sandbox' subdomain and associated Google Accounts are used for the development and testing of new or experimental Google services. So, using the same methods I used to find new service code names before – e.g. Weaver / M Scrapbook, Google RS2, SSD, Mobile Download Console and Google LH2 – I managed to find and add the following services to my 'sandbox' Google Account – all of which aren't currently available to add to your 'real' Google Account (even though you'll have heard about some of them before):

Service Name Code Name
Google Events ev
Google Guess guess
Google Online Assessment goa
Google Real Estate Search re
Google RS2 rs2
Google Writely writely
Local (AKA Local Business Center) lbc
Mobile mobile
Mobile Marketplace mmp
New Service (AKA Workplace) wf
New Service gmt
Talk talk
Weaver weaver
WiFi wifi
