I recently had to purchase a SSL certificate from another provider because Google checkout did not like the godaddy SSL certificate I installed. I just wanted to post this in case someone else is looking to use Google Checkout level 2 and was looking into buying a Godaddy cert.

Wow that’s good to know Justin! They do have different types of SSL certs - is this for all of them or just the standard least expensive one?

So strange that their certs don’t play well since Google has partnered with GoDaddy for DNS, you would think it would be preferred even.

Kat - I just got the cheap one as it was for one of my sites. I would assume google checkout would have the same issue with the $89 one as well. I use theplanet.com for SSL for my clients I wanted to try godaddy’s badge they give you for your site.
