Google Checkout for NGOs announced

[sisi]

Thanks Alex!

I'd never even heard of checkout until today (we use paypal for all 
transactions on the web, but that has it's disadvantages). I think this 
is just US based at the moment, right?

YouTube have just opened up premium accounts to non profits too though, 
there must be something in the air at google :-)

I think that's international.

Cheers,
