It’s been a while since this blog has been updated, but I think we are just about ready to dig in again.  Since December, we have made quite a few changes to the site that we will be rolling out over the next month or so that we think you might all be excited about.

The first change we have rolled out is full integration with Google Checkout!  When checkout was first released last year, we thought it had potential and put it on our radar to watch, but when we started getting requests to accept it, we thought it was time to make it happen.

What should you be excited about Google Checkout?  Checkout is like PayPal, but cheaper for everyone.  Also, you only have to fill out your information once, in Google Checkout, and then Google passes that information along to merchants…no need to keep creating accounts everywhere.

They also have a $10 bonus when you make your first purchase with Google Checkout, so come over and buy some underwear, and Google will chip in $10!

This was actually a little bit tricky for us to work in since many of the features and bonuses we offer requires an account on our system (like VYP points and our newsletter subscription), but we aren’t going to let that functionality keep you from being happy!

You can, of course, pay by credit card directly at our site, Google Checkout is totally optional.

So how do you make your choice?  When checking out, if you want to use Google Checkout, click on this button:

If you want to use your YourPrivates.com account and pay by credit card, you can use this button:

We’re looking for feedback on your experience with Google Checkout, so let me know what you think. 

I’ll be back soon with more witty commentary and tales from the inside of an underwear company soon, and will also have some great new site enhancements to share with you to!
