Despite Checkout's modest success, Google doesn't give up on online payments

Posted December 14, 2011 - 9:54 pm

Last month, Google announced a plan to merge its Checkout and Wallet electronic payment services into a single product for both Web browsers and mobile devices. The announcement of the combined product, which will use the Wallet name, comes more than five years after the launch of Checkout, which back then was seen by some as a potential "PayPal killer". Checkout never came close to fulfilling that prediction, becoming instead a payment system primarily for Google sites. However, Google hasn't given up on the e-payments market and has high expectations for Wallet. IDG News Service recently had a chance to chat with Osama Bedier, the company's Payments vice president, about Google's plans for Wallet and vision of the e-payments market. An edited version of the interview follows.
