Before I go to all the trouble of testing an approach and relaying the captcha, has anyone else automated Google account creation for the purposes of streamlining Google Checkout implementation?

Especially in a manner conforming to Google's terms of use.

  • How does automating Google account creation streamline Google Checkout? Are you referring to a scenario in which the buyer does not yet have a Google account? – cheeken Sep 08 '11 at 00:59
  • Exactly. It's not really a professional-grade option for many applications to ask a consumer to go through the extra step IMHO. – Stephen Sep 08 '11 at 02:15

It looks like you are looking for a Google Checkout "Guest Account" - a one-time account where the customer does not have to create a Checkout account with a username / password.

Read the Google Checkout Terms of Service (section #7 - Time Checkout Account):
