Google Checkout, that special service powered by the Mountain View company that fights with PayPal for the supremacy of the online shopping domain, is again brought in the spotlights using a new offer addressed to pupils and parents. Basically, several stores registered for Google Checkout are selling school stuff such as pencils, notebooks and school bags at special prices. However, the entire campaign is available only for a limited period of time so, if you intend to buy fresh stuff for the upcoming school year, you should hurry up and check this link.

"It's that time of year: the school year is quickly approaching and we're all trying to squeeze in some last-minute summer fun. To help you get ready for school, a number of Google Checkout stores are offering exclusive savings of up to $20 for Checkout buyers for a limited time. Whether you're shopping for small items like pens and notebooks, or for the latest school gear and digital gadgets, you can buy it quickly and securely with Google Checkout," Shoaib Makani, Associate Product Marketing Manager, proudly announced today.

Beside clothes, electronics and books, you can also save up to $20 by buying laptop computers using the Google products. What's most interesting is that Google also included a special golf gear promotion into the back-to-school offering so you're able to buy even more than the basic school supplies.

Every once in a while, the Mountain View company rolls out special offers that help the Checkout solution fight with its rivals and remain the basic shopping product for the majority of users on the Internet. However, the Google competitors are also planning impressive investments into the shopping products so we're probably going to see a tough battle for the leader position. Take the example of PayPal, the product that is regarded as the main challenger for Checkout, targeting the same category of users.
