Difference between google checkout and google shopping

Question

I have a doubt, before asking here I searched a lot but did not get the correct answer. My doubt is what is the difference between Google checkout and Google shopping.?

Answer 1

Google Shopping[1] is a search engine for products - it lets you search for a product and then compare prices across different retailers etc.

Google Checkout/Wallet[2] is a payment services provider, somewhat like PayPal or Stripe. Most popular use is probably for buying things from the google play store. It's been renamed to Google Wallet[3], and can no longer be used for accepting payments for physical goods.
