The default Google Checkout button URLs are wrong.

I fixed mine to:
https://checkout.google.com/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=YOURMERCHANTIDHERE&w=160&h=43&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US

which I generated with the Google Checkout URL generator:

https://checkout.google.com/seller/checkout_buttons.html#generate_button_url

Have Fun!

The help text next to the button gives you the various options with regard to the url. we avoided choosing an option and relying on that. To some extent we do expect the user to have a working knowledge of interacting with a payment processor and reading the documentation

Thanks, Donald.

The static button URL that was in there for Google Checkout seems to be a few months out of date, by my read of the forums.

Can that default be made to read like my example?:
https://checkout.google.com/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=YOURMERCHANTIDHERE&w=160&h=43&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US

That would be current and essentially self documenting...hopefully, everyone, upon seeing YOURMERCHANTID would then trot over to Google to get that parameter, and be in business quickly.

Thanks,
Ken
