We also thought that you might like a cart to go with your product listings. So we packed the Google Cart system into this plugin as well. Once enabled, the Google Cart floats in the upper right hand corner of the browser and is available on every page of the site for easy access by your e-customers. We put a lot of thought in building the Nice Google Checkout Plugin. Download it and start selling today. We know your going to love this plugin.

A friend asked me to help build a website with a simple shopping cart. I looked at several carts but, for the volume, thought the Google Checkout approach would work best. When I found this plugin, which made it even easier, everything just came together. My friend now has a wonderful "online store" page and it was all put together in under a day, thanks in part to the simplicity of the plugin. I should add that Michael was quick to assist when the download link went to my friend (who was travelling) and not to me. He quickly sent it to me and I was up and running. Great plugin and great , personal support. Highly recommended.
So simple and yet can look so very professional, in my opinion. I've been using Joomla for several years but rarely do I write a review. After working with this extension for the first time the last few days I felt compelled to take the time to applaud the efforts of its creator. I wanted to add some simple e-commerce, but didn't want to devote hours and hours to learning how to do it. I'm sure there are more complicated options that offer more bells and whistles, but the brilliance of this plug-in is in its simplicity. Thanks to the developer!
One of my favourite extentions works as stated with good documentation. I found as a novice a couple of minor requirements I couldn't see, so I posted the questions on the support forum. Not only did I get a quick response but very helpful information which allowed me to achieve the objective. I would commend anyone to try this who wants a simple way to sell through goole checkout.
After researching many options for setting up an online store for a new business this plugin did exactly what I needed without a lot of the complexity that systems such as HikaShop have. Also, the merchant fees that Google Checkout charge are very reasonable compared to many other options out there. The customer support was fantastic - I had some custom formating that I wanted for the way my titles were displaying and the team at Trinitronic responding immediately to my requests. Well worth the $15 investment!
I just order this "plug-in" script. It's not a shopping cart. It's only a script that works with the joomla article. I've spend hours on the forums trying to figure out how it works. It's not a module or it's not a component. I'm not going to give it a rating because I have little knowledge of joomla and script writing so it may not be fare. I would suggest stay away from this "If you think you’re getting a shopping cart”.

On the contrary, this extension provides a very nice shopping cart and is very easy to install and use. We offer FREE technical support for all of our extensions. Why didn't you contact us or use our support forums? We are always happy to help people like yourself who need a little assistance to get things going.
I have tried several of the other low cost e-commerce solutions out there and most of them were unwieldy or difficult to integrate, especially for a Joomla newbie like me. This software though was so brain dead simple to use that even I could use it right out of the box. I had a store going literally minutes after downloading the software. It is only $15 dollars. Think about what the time you spent banging you head is worth. Get his software. He knows what he is doing.
Its been over 2 months since I purchased Nice Google Checkout. I'm not even using it since I was forced to use alternative processing for my business.
Despite all this, I wanted to take the time to let the world know my complete satisfaction with the product. This extension easily adds a shopping cart perception to Google checkout buttons. The design and behavior of this software simplifies the checkout experience. Shoppers who easily become confused by other shopping carts will find the Nice Google Checkout clear and simple to use.
My experience with the developer was equally enjoyable. After purchasing, I contacted Michael with a customization request. He answered my request the same day. The following day he provided a customized version for a great price. I recommend this developer.

After trying several eCommerce solutions, this was the one that finally did the trick! Simple to load, use and implement. And Michael over at TriniTronic helped me out with a problem I had the very same day I requested support. All thing considered, this is well worth the $15 it costs to register the plugin. It handles tasks that many storefront solutions don't have available at all at 10 times the cost. Bravo!
The ease of using this product is what makes it so powerful. Basically you can put a tag anywhere you want without being constrained to "store" software, inventory, payment methods etc. I had one problem--the off the shelf version only works with articles, but that was addressed by Michael with a customized version on the same day to plug into to one of my components. Nice is an appropriate name for this product and the support...very nice.
This is absolutely brilliant. Support is fantastic and really easily customisable.
The only critism I have is that the documentation did not detail the amount of customisation you can do however Google does provide this:

Highly recommend this product and the support from the developer.
