PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFSW) today announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, eCOST.com, is an early adopter of Google Inc.'s Google
Checkout, improving the online shopping experience at eCOST.com.
Google Checkout makes the customer online shopping experience
easier, helping shoppers find and buy from online retailers such as
eCOST.com. It also helps shoppers identify fast, secure places to
shop by displaying a Google Checkout badge on the Google AdWords
ads of retailers that offer Google Checkout. It also provides a
single log-in to make purchases across the Web, making online
shopping easier. For merchants such as eCOST.com, Google Checkout
will help lower shopping cart abandonment and increase conversion
by providing a fast and secure purchase process. "Making online
shopping easier and more secure creates a better shopping
experience. This relationship with Google is just another part of
our ongoing effort to further improve the eCOST.com shopping
experience," said Mark Layton, CEO of PFSweb. "We are proud to be a
part of Google's program and provide our customers with this
innovative technology." About Google Inc. Google's innovative
