When you click "Preview" on this forum, then click "Update," you don't get a confirmation that the post went in. So just in case, here's the link to my Store (01.01.00) with Inventory tracking and Google Checkout Gateway Provider.

Consider it BETA !!! But it's working pretty sweet for me ! (I'll install it on my site on Sunday evening. Traveling out of town.)

A little more info--

Inventory tracking

• When the order is confirmed, after the confirmation e-mail is sent, the items that are set "TrackInventory = true" have their "NumberInStock" values lowered by the number purchased.
• In the Mini Cart and the Cart--
  • The "+" and "-" LinkButtons are replaced with a text box for entering a quantity, and the "refresh.gif" icon image is clicked to update the quantity entered.
  • The "x" LinkButton is replaced with the "delete.gif" icon image.
  • For an Inventory-tracked item, if the user enters a number greater than the "NumberInStock" property of the item, a validator control displays the number in stock and blocks the entry.
  • If a product has "TrackInventory = false," NumberInStock is ignored. No attempt is made to reduce stock level after the order is confirmed.
• Google Checkout Gateway
  • Google Checkout is coming on strong. It's so slick that EBay won't allow their sellers to use it. (They claim it's not proven enough yet.)
  • Pros--
    • Much faster and easier for the buyer than PayPal.
    • Deposits are made to the seller's bank account every two days. No need to request transfer, or use a debit card, to get your money.
    • A single account can be used for multiple stores on multiple sites, by both buyer and seller.
    • The Google site has all the tools you need to process the order.
    • The API can be integrated with your own processing system, if you have one in place.
    • Source code is available for download for customization.
  • Cons (I'm contacting Google to look into these.)
    • The GoogleCheckout API does not have a callback function to confirm purchase. You must count on the user to click a return link to confirm the purchase, so the cart can be cleared and processing completed.
    • I didn't find an EFT option for the buyer. Credit cards only.
    • Requires the gateway settings to be in web.config. (I left the Store's settings system stubbed in the source code, just commented out.) But since they provide the source code....
