Hi All, I am trying to use Buy Now Button facility of Google Checkout. Now, my application is in ASP.NET 2.0, and given code from google is in HTML. I have used Master Pages for my application which contain a single Form tag into master page, and other content page has only content of the pages (form, text etc.). I cannot use action tag in form as its in Master page, so can any one help for the same? Its really confusing, how to use Buy Now Buttons in my application? How can I integrate Buy Now Button code? As well, there is confusion in Buy Now Button code and Google Checkout - HTML API code. Whether both are the same concept or different one? Please help as it is urgent. Chital

  The Buy Now button is a way to add Checkout capabilities to a web site by only editing static HTML. They only support buying a single product at a time, and their tax and shipping options are very limited.
  
  If you are ASP.NET writing code anyway, you are probably better off skipping the Buy Now button and going with the regular Checkout button. This is the GCheckoutButton component. It supports adding multiple items per purchase, complex tax rules, and multiple shipping methods.
  
  Even if you don't need all those options, the GCheckoutButton is very easy to work with, and it plays nice with ASP.NET's form handling, which the Buy Now button doesn't.
