Downloads and Google Checkout?

Hello, folks,

I'm working on a web store which would provide binary files
for
download. Essentially, I'd like to do something like this:
The user can
click on a "Checkout" (or "buy it
now") button, at which point we would
attempt to charge the uesr's account. If this charge is
successful, the
download begins, and if not, well, the download doesn't
begin.

Is this easy/possible with Google Checkout? I'm not really
sure what
the Right Way to handle online playments.

Thanks for your help!

Really you can't download the goods until you get to the
"Charged"
stated. That can take anywhere from seconds to minutes to I
suppose
hours.  You can't depend on them coming back to the site
and the credit
card being charged. That means it ought to be emailed to the
customer.
That makes it pay now download later.

Does that help ?
