The official Google Checkout blog announced Wednesday that some Google Checkout stores are offering exclusive savings of up to $20 for a limited time. The offer is part of a back-to-school promotion. The blog also offered users a new widget that displays "fun back-to-school products from Google Checkout stores" on their iGoogle personalized homepages - see blog post for details.

Google also told merchants it has extended the authorization period to seven calendar days for guaranteed funds (http://googlecheckout.blogspot.com/2007/01/checkout-orders-now-authorized-for.html).
