Hi I need more info on Kartris products. I develop in C# and also using ADO.NET SQL Server via Linq. Can I integrate Kartris source code into my ASP and Silverlight projects? Or is it more a standalone web page that I can direct people to? Either way is fine, I just need to know more. Not clear where on your website I would find this info.
Also whether the fee--I think it was roughly $1000 a year per site--is annual or one-time.

I am not sure it would be simple to integrate kartris in this way.
The Kartris checkout is very reliant on other integrated features. This is because in the basket/cart, we don't store price, item name, etc. Instead we just store a pointer ID to the product record, and the quantity (it is slightly more complicated as we can also store options info and text customizations; but trying to keep it simple).
So any item you want to checkout with would have to be already set up in the main Kartris database.
Regarding storing order details, these are indeed stored in Kartris. But card data isn't.
The purpose of Paypal and Google Checkout is that the card authorization and billing is handled off-site by them. So the card details themselves are never entered into Kartris. There are some alternatives such as SagePay VSP Direct where the card details are entered into a secure page on Kartris, although these are still not stored - instead Kartris passes them over to SagePay to get authorization, and stores the response with the order. One of the advantages of using Paypal etc. is that you avoid PCI compliance issues, since the web site does not 'store or transmit card data'.
Google Checkout is quite difficult to integrate with, as the whole checkout process really runs on Google Checkout. Paypal is simpler. But from what you're describing, you might be better off just using the 'buy now' button functionality on Paypal, which I think essentially does what you're describing - allowing you to pass links to it to purchase particular items, and pay for them.
Kartris is more suited to running a whole site, including product catalogue, basket/cart functionality, order history, stock management and so on.
