Answer 2

Google Checkout has been retired and will be shut down on November 20, 2013. You will have to change your integration. The announcement below has more details and options for migrating your payment processing:

Different new Google Wallet APIs (such as Wallet Instant Buy or Wallet for digital goods) are available that allow you to accept online payments for physical goods, digital goods or services. A list of the available APIs and documentation is at:

Also see this answer for a good explanation of the differences between the Instant Buy and digital goods APIs.

Answer 3

They are obviously different - otherwise there would be no point in the transition but there may/should be a fair amount of overlap between the two APIs. Some good places to start looking at the differences is here and via the Android Studio.
