I'm not thrilled with Google checkout since it requires you to have
your customer setup a Google account(I think Amazon requires an
amazon account, but the process just appears more streamlined and
felt like setting up a shipping/billing subcomponent of the account
rather than 2 accounts).
Ya know, one thing that wasn't mentioned, just what ARE these 10
products they plan on selling?
Let me explain a bit.
If your selling photo's or photo related items(a poster, postcards,
etc) - a saner solution could be to use Menalto Gallery and use
their built in hooks to the various photo printing services. You
define your products, the markups, etc in the printer service, and
than just setup the online digital photos. You can even have 2
versions of the file on your site, one that is publicly viewable
and one high quality one the photo service will use.
If your selling stuff with emblazoned logo's, tote bags and junk, a
lot of people use CafePress for that, and you can build your own
interface into it to the degree you need it(from redirecting to a
skinned cafepress store, to embedding the iutems inside your site
but using their checkout, to having your own checkout and than you
submit the order to cafepress and have it drop shipped to the
customer).
If your selling digital content, there is a whole slew of issues to
think through regarding downloads and such.
