Automate Google Account Creation - captcha

Before I go to all the trouble of testing an approach and relaying the captcha, has anyone else automated Google account creation for the purposes of streamlining Google Checkout implementation?
Especially in a manner conforming to Google's terms of use.

It looks like you are looking for a Google Checkout "Guest Account" - a one-time account where the customer does not have to create a Checkout account with a username / password.
Read the Google Checkout Terms of Service (section #7 - Time Checkout Account):
https://checkout.google.com/termsOfService?type=Buyer
This Checkout Merchant forum question has extra details:

PayPal guest checkout not available in certain countries

I'm integrating a react native app with PayPal's REST API and all has gone quite smoothly. However, when I click through, the buyer does not get the option to complete the purchase as a guest. I'm using a v1/payments integration; The transaction works if I login or create an account, but is it possible to let buyers pay without having to login?
I have researched and done most things people say you should do, like having a business account, enable guest payments, etc.
I tried using this github as an approach to using REST API, it works fine but if it helps: https://github.com/tonynguyenit18/paypal-RN-intergration
This isn't a REST API issue. You are getting the expected behavior of the PayPal Checkout in general. Guest checkout is available on a case-by-case basis. Very many factors -- such as the country of the buyer, IP address, repeated payment attempts, and testing payments to one's own account in the live environment -- are used to determine guest eligibility.
When a checkout is not guest-eligible, the buyer can still enter their card details but will also need to choose a password to create an account in the process.
Again, this is just how the PayPal Checkout works in general.
By the way, the v1/payments API is deprecated. You should use 'Create Order' and 'Capture Order', documented here.

Puzzling struggle in Signup to GCP - error [OR-CBAT-09]

The very beginnings on GCP turn out as a real struggle. Just on the signup page (all access $300 free) receiving error message: "This payment method can't be used for recurring payments [OR-CBAT-09]" also the bank account shows "unverified".
What's been tried: signing in on Google pay - trying to enter the verification code: doesn't show any place to enter code from the wire transfer. Also contacting various Google supports by chat (hours :) ) Cloud Billing Support apparently is responsible yet available only to registered users - real dilemma.
Thank you very much for any tips here
Sign up on the Play store and create a merchant account. During the merchant account setup you can enter the test deposit amount which will verify your Bank account.
Sounce: Tried to create a GCP billing account with a German bank as payment method, got [OR-CBAT-09] for two weeks and was given the runabout with the cloud billing support including multiple second-level support escalations. And no, support never made any useful suggestion (we are registered & paying customer).

BigQuery API jobs oauth and Google account change

I have a problem with BigQuery and I wonder if any of you already had to struggle with something similar.
A gmail address was accidentally associated with the Google account based on a corporative email address becoming the one that appears as the admin of all of the Google tools we are using: Google Analytics, Adwords, etc.
We solved it adding the corporative address again as admin and removing permissions to the gmail address.
The last tool to "fix" is BigQuery. We have a lot of jobs that extract data via API. The oauth process and the historical jobs shows at this moment the gmail login, not the previous one.
If we remove the secondary (gmail) account, will the jobs work taking automatically the original address as the login user for the Oauth process? Or will we have to modify all the scripts? Will the job history be lost?
Regards.

Adobe Omniture - make a test account

I need to use the Adobe Oauth2 API to develop the functionality to query our clients Omniture traffic data (after they have given access to it using 3 legged OAuth : WebServer).
However for testing I require an Adobe ID and SiteCatalyst account, for which I have to pay. Naturally having no need for an analytics tool myself I have no interest in paying it. Is there no way to get a 'test' account with some data but not tracking any real site? Mentions to Adobe sandbox suggest that might no longer be in use.
Thanks

How to move existing business catalyst site to different account without becoming a partner

I have an existing business catalyst website on a partner account I need to relocate to a different account, that is not a partner account because I cannot afford the $900 partner fee. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
Unfortunately, you can't transfer a Business Catalyst site to a non-paid Partner Portal. However, you can transfer to a paid Partner Portal and I can help with that.
I'm a BC Partner and would be happy to have your site transferred to my Partner Portal (account). I'm a Standard Partner which means the billing relationship for your website remains between you and Adobe - has nothing to do with me - and the subscription plan you choose is up to you.
It's a relatively straightforward process. You need to sign into the Admin area and go to Help & Support. From there, either start a chat or submit a ticket.
You will need to provide the following info:
your user email
the new Partner name
the new Partner URL
the new Partner email
(details here: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner-portal/transferring-sites-partners.html)
And that's it. The owner of your current Partner Portal (you) will also need to verify that they consent to the site being moved - BC may require you to submit an additional ticket from the Help & Support tab in your Partner Portal.
I can provide you will all my contact details and required info. Just go to my site: http://www.indieweb.co.nz/contact and flick me a webform enquiry.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Luke
