Amazon's checkout can be yours

Move over PayPal and Google Checkout...

Amazon just opened the door for online retailers to process transactions using their checkout. Online merchants simply add Amazon's checkout cart on their site and Amazon will handle the payment process from there. They also launched Amazon Simple Pay, so if you already have an account with Amazon, your info is stored so you can avoid re-entering and calculating shipping costs and sales tax.

Of course there are transaction fees, starting at 2.9% of the entire order. Beats doing it yourself.
