Note: Google Checkout was discontinued in 2013, so anyone reading this years later should not expect to be able to get new sandbox credentials for that service. For historical context and for anyone maintaining legacy notes, here are the typical troubleshooting steps and what the credentials actually were.

When Google Checkout sandbox was active, the sandbox Merchant Center contained the credentials. The two items you needed were the Merchant ID (an account identifier) and the Merchant Key (the secret used to authenticate API calls). They were shown in the merchant account’s settings under the integration/API section. Common reasons you might not see them immediately: the account was created as a buyer (not a merchant), the welcome/confirmation email went to spam, you never accepted the merchant terms, or you are logged into the wrong Google account. If the UI does not display the key, look for a “show” or “generate” option in the integration area; otherwise create a fresh sandbox merchant account and use its credentials for testing.

Security and support notes: ’s point about keeping credentials confidential is important; never publish the Merchant Key. ’s suggestion to contact Google support was the right escalation if the account UI and email checks failed. Today, since Checkout is retired, migrate to a maintained payments platform (Google Pay, a payment gateway, or another provider) for production work and testing.
