I am building a shopping cart application for android. My customers already have google checkout merchants accounts and they want to sell their goods and receive payments in their google checkout merchants accounts.
I have an activity that displays user-selected goods and payment. I need to know what is the info I'll send to google and service links that can make the app users pay for selected goods in merchants account?
Not clear enough, but this might help you:

Good luck :)
I assume you want to implement an Android native app and not a web app. You may want to start with the Android In-App Billing documentation:
http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/index.html
Also please make to read the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement:

I am looking for all possible ways to sell physical products or services via android App on Google Play. I was following the tutorial for Wallet Intant Buy that allows it in https://developers.google.com/wallet/instant-buy/android/tutorial?hl=es, but after filling the Intant Buy Register Form I have received a mail saying merchants must: "Sell items in the United States (Instant Buy cannot be used to make sales outside of the US at this time)"
My company is established in Europe and is where we plan to sell products, which alternatives do we have? As I have readed PayPal SDK option is not allowed to Google Play Apps.
Another option we consider is embbed the shopping cart via WebView component, is that possible in a Google Play App? We obviously prefer native alternatives.
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

Is there any one who helped Me for this? just tell Me any link, any tutorial, any kind of APi used for payments, or any other example link etc.

1.You can integrate PayPal, and accept the payments through Paypal. You can integrate Paypal in your app using ExpressCheckoutSDK. You will though have to create a Paypal seller account, and also integrate Paypal on your server to check that the payments have been done, etc.
2.You can use Google In-App Billing to make the payments through PlayStore.
I'm currently trying to integrate a service that will enable my users to purchase In-App virtual products.
However I've tried to integrate Google's In-App Billing service into my app, however it requieres a Google Checkout Merchant account, which is not supported in South Africa for some reason. So I can scrap that idea unless I have a bank account in one of the supported countries?
I'm just having a look PayPal. Is this a good option?
So my questions:
Is there anyway I could still somehow get Google In-App billing to work?
Is PayPal a good option? (I'm guessing it would limit potential customers)
Are there any other good options for IAP?
Read the developer agreement and consult a lawyer if necessary, but simply put all billing for virtual items needs to go through Google Checkout/Wallet. PayPal would be against those terms if you distribute through Google Play.
The only reliable way is open a developer and bank account in a country that supports paid apps.
I want to develop a shopping cart type application in android where the user
needs to purchase the products from the list of products. Once the
user selects the product, the payment should be made by opening Google Checkout.
Please let me know what you people think about this.
Hope to get the answer quickly.
It looks like you're interested in more information about in-app purchase frameworks.
For Android apps have a look at the Android Market In-app Billing:

For Web apps have a look at Google In-App Payments:

I want to setup Google merchant account in android market for selling my apps. I am Indian and in the country dropdown India is not available. How can I create my merchant account, and can I use another account like paypal for selling apps?
Thanks.
If your country is not on the list of countries eligible for creating merchant account, you cannot publish paid apps, unfortunately. You will need to find different ways to monetize your application, which might be one of the following:
As mentioned above, get a PayPal account and ask users for donations
Sign up to ad-serving site (AdMob seem to be popular choice) and place a banner in your application.
Implement in-app purchases in your own manner, independent from the Android Market in-app purchases.
#jubin though its more than a year when you asked this question, but now india is in the list of countries where android developers can create merchant account m happy for it..:-). check it here
EDIT: It was the mistake of Google, they put India in list for small time and later they removed again, now India is not in the list..:(
Edit: This time i am happy to edit my answer...:) Good news --> Indian android developers can set up merchant account on google play developer account..:)
check this here
The way I understood i.
If it is not in the list you cannot join. I happen to be in the same situation. You can sell your apps with Paypal but not on Google's official site. On your own site or on third party sites that accept you.
There is a nice table on Wikipedia where you can see in which countries selling of apps is possible.
As mentioned before, to "sell" Apps, you could accept PayPal-donations, display Ads oder sell the App on Google-independent Markets.
From India you can not open merchant account yet. And according to the Google TOS, it is in short against rules to earn money on Android Market in a way that that money does not pass through Google (so they get a cut). But it looks like that they tolerate that.
