MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and CLEVELAND, June 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- CardinalCommerce Corporation, a leading provider of payment brands for banks, merchants, processors and financial service providers, has announced an agreement with Google, Inc., a leading search engine and now online checkout provider. The collaboration will allow eCommerce merchants to enable the Google Checkout(tm)* service as a checkout option online.
By leveraging a single implementation of Cardinal Centinel(tm)**, the universal payment platform, merchants can enable multiple payment and checkout brands quickly and easily. The 29,000+ current CardinalCommerce customers and all merchants that will enable Centinel in the future, will now have access to Google Checkout.
Google Checkout is a fast, convenient checkout process that complements existing checkout processes. Customers who use Checkout can buy quickly and securely, using a single username and password; merchants can use Checkout to process their orders and charge their credit or debit cards. By enabling Google Checkout, merchants can sell more, spend less and grow their business.
"Cardinal is pleased to add Google Checkout to Cardinal Centinel, our merchant platform that enables multiple payment brands with one easy integration," says Mike Keresman, CEO, CardinalCommerce. "Google Checkout is proving to be a major player in the eCommerce space and we're happy to provide this new value to merchants."
