For example, if you use Google Checkout, then you need a server that has an SSL certificate that only Google has approved. Talk about being self righteously arrogant. But I had to find out the hard way. Paypal integration is pretty straightforward. Also, their model of installing add-ons is pretty good, they don't write code that interferes with other modules. Again, google was a problem here, so be a little careful with them.
Thanks Menhak,

In all honesty its not going to be a shopping cart .. well not yet. They want the catalog look and admin of the website. With the option to upgrade very easily to a shopping cart at a later date.

And yes google checkout, I've had many issues!
