I have read that the usual html code for the Google Buy Now button (easily generated on the Google Checkout merchant site) won't work  because the DotNetNuke page alread has a form. I have tried it and it does not work. The typical code for Google for the Buy Now button is:

<form action="https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/api/checkout/v2/checkoutform/Merchant/123456789" id="BB_BuyButtonform" method="post" name="BB_BuyButtonform">
    <input name="item_name_1" type="hidden" value="Product 101"/>
    <input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="Product 101 Light Up Your LIfe"/>
    <input name="item_quantity_1" type="hidden" value="1"/>
    <input name="item_price_1" type="hidden" value="195.0"/>
    <input name="item_currency_1" type="hidden" value="USD"/>
    <input name="_charset_" type="hidden" value="utf-8"/>
    <input alt="" src="https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/buttons/buy.gif?merchant_id=123456789&amp;w=117&amp;h=48&amp;style=white&amp;variant=text&amp;loc=en_US" type="image"/>
</form>

When placing this code on a DotNetNuke page, using a text/html module, is it actually being inserted into an encapsulating form and that is why, as Google points out, it does not work? Does anyone have a work-around for this?

you need either to create a custom module or provide the form as an html page included in an iFrame.

Check this thread out, it will work for standard buttons but not encripted buttons, other than that there are several moduls (look in the shop ) that will do what you want.
