Google claim to have made online shopping “faster, more convenient and more secure” with their new Google Checkout service. Harnessing the power of Google’s search engine with the regular user-friendly ethos of Google products, the Checkout service could make visiting multiple online retailers a thing of the past.

The process is simple – you search for your desired item in Google. The main results are not important – it’s the sponsored links down the right-hand side of the page that you need to look at. If the store is participating in Google Checkout, it has a small trolley symbol next to its weblink. When you click on this symbol, you are taken to a sign-in page where you log-in and enter your bank details. After that, away you go – all of your purchases are listed in an easy to read purchase history list so you can see exactly where your goods are at any time.

At the moment, many stores are still signing up but if you’re sick of keeping track of your online purchases on multiple sites, this may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
