I implemented BTC checkout with giftcardzen.com (We sell discounted gift cards to all major retailers) To be honest, working with coinbase was lackluster. One ridiculous thing that coinbase did, was delete the post back url if they didn't receive a 200 response. So, if the site happened to be down for 1 minute when it posted...the subsequent posts would just go into a void.
Other than that, make sure you have some BTC pre-purchased in the event you need to do an equivalent of a refund. The BTC that comes in through checkout, can not be used if the customer needs that BTC back.
A lot of Bitcoin-related services seem kind of sketchy - they get hacked or disappear with a bunch of other people's bitcoins. What sort of steps have you taken to protect yourselves / minimize your exposure to the risk your payment processor will get hacked?

Interesting, thanks posting.
Roughly how many $ of bitcoin sales do you do?
