Google is moving Checkout to Wallet. Specifics haven't been released (such as API changes, if any), but at the very least, the name and logo are expected to change.

Why do I see Google Checkout when buying from some sellers and Google Wallet when buying from others?

We’re giving merchants time to transition from Google Checkout to Google Wallet, so during the next few months, you might see both logos. However, all Google Checkout merchants will accept Google Wallet.

Today I got an email from Google:

If the Google Checkout button or Google Checkout acceptance logo on your site does not change to Google Wallet on June 26th, you may be using images that are not hosted by Google. Please ensure that you are using the correct URL for Google Wallet buttons or the Google Wallet acceptance logo.
We ask you to please change any Google Checkout brand mentions on your site or support material to Google Wallet on or shortly after June 26th. We’ve included some sample messaging below.

So, I think Ubercart needs to update it's naming and icons for Google Checkout!
marking as "normal" priority.

We are using images hosted by Google for the checkout button, so we don't need to change immediately. There is some associated text that should be changed, but that can wait until the new images start showing up on sites.

Google Checkout is being retired, and Google Wallet is not just a drop-in replacement, but a completely separate API. It is unlikely that Google Wallet support will be added directly to Ubercart as it only allows digital goods to be sold. See https://support.google.com/checkout/sell/answer/3080449 for more information.

Actually, we should remove all Google Checkout support from Ubercart at the end of 2013, by which time the API calls will stop working.

Hello! I am new to Drupal, and I've just started an e-commerce site using Drupal and Ubercart. Since Google Checkout is retired, is there any way to replace it? Is Ubercart still working without this service? Can I still use Ubercart or it will be better if I use Drupal Commerce or something else? Thanks...

Yes, Ubercart still works with many other payment methods - PayPal, Authorize.Net, Cybersource and 2Checkout are included with the main download, and many more are available as modules on drupal.org.

Google Checkout was removed because Google themselves no longer provide this service, and therefore it makes no sense to have it as an available option if you can't actually use it.
