You may set up the payment methods that you accept by creating a payment profile. This may be done under "Items" --> "Profiles" --> select "New" --> "Payment" --> then click the "Add another payment method" button to add your payment methods.
Vendio does not collect payment for our customers. Your buyer would select the payment method that they would like to use when going through Vendio checkout, and then send you the payment through that method. For example, if you offer PayPal as a payment method your buyer would be directed to the PayPal website to complete payment after going through Vendio checkout.

We are a little confused about the payment options too. Vendio does not make it very clear clients that they (Vendio) do not actually take the customer's payments so if someone was completely new at selling, they would assume Vendio was going to collect payments. Also, we decided to use Vendio for a web-based store and decided to use Google Checkout. We have never used Google Checkout before. Vendio shows an easy way to get signed up for a Google Checkout account through a link they provide and we configured everything with Vendio but now we aren't sure how to set up a Google Payment Profile. When setting up a payment profile and adding a payment method, there are several options including PayPal but Google isn't listed. We decided to choose "Custom" and labeled the profile Google but we aren't sure what to put in the "Account" field. Do we put our Google email address or merchant account number? The "Account" field also say "Label:" we aren't sure what that means because when we set up a PayPal profile, the "Account" field didn't say "Label:" Can someone tell us how to set up a Google Checkout Payment Profile?
Sorry for the confusion on the Google checkout option. This is unfortunately only a global payment option at this time and wouldn't be available as your only method of accepting payments.
When you enable the google checkout it simply shows up as an option to pay for all of your items automatically, where the payment profiles are where you would define any non-google checkout options available for the item in question.
Unfortunately you would need to accept at least one other method of payment outside of Google checkout.
