Are there any errors on the Google Checkout site under Tools - Integration?

Thanks for your help.

The GoogleCheckout button only appears in the shopping cart when you have items in it. I saw it on your site. The other place it normally appears is on the login page. I did NOT see it there on your site. The other thing I did not see is an SSL indication. You will need SSL if you want Google to transmit order information back to your admin.

As gobrinton posted, it is normal for Google Checkout to not be displayed in the Checkout page.

I have google checkout finally working but when customer make purchases, I do not receive information in my admin control panel. I do not know what to set for [COLOR="red"]API callback /COLOR]
Any suggestion?

Thanks

Google just needs to know where your responsehandler file is. It should be a path something like...

https_://_www_your_domain_com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

or perhaps...

https_://_www_your_domain_com/store_folder/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

(without the underscores, of course)

Also the Callback method should be XML.

Thank you for your response. I will give you the feedback.

Hi.

I'm keen to install this module but as I live in the UK I have a query regarding shipping.

Obviously, the default shipping options are of no use to me. I have a Royal Mail module installed which calculates shipping charges. These are picked up by Paypal.

The release notes from Google say:-

9. GoogleCheckout Carrier Calculated Shipping. Set if you want or not to use CCS.
Note that if you enable CCS, all Merchant Calculation Modules will be IGNORED
for GC orders. Only Flat Rate shippings will be included with CCS.

Does this mean, in other words that with CCS disabled GoogleCheckout will use the shipping rate calculated by the existing option?

Kind regards

Philip

Yes, sort of...

There are two different options to choose from, CCS and Real Time.

CCS means that Google Checkout (GC) ignores any shipping info that comes from your site. Instead GC looks up the shipping costs from a database, (I assume it is based on "to and from" locations that the carriers have calculated in advance.) It presents the buyer with rates from two or three different carriers. Some feel that these rates are not always up to date and accurate. On the other hand, some like it because it is a no-fuss no-muss method.

Real Time means that GC makes every attempt to use whatever "real time look up" method your site has done. The module files that come with Google Checkout already know about all of the default or built-in modules that are in ZC. It also comes with a handy utility to add new shipping modules (to the list) that you have added to ZC yourself. However, if the new modules are too complicated, then there is no guarantee that they will work correctly.

With both modes of operation, you can provide a list of rock bottom "Default" rates, just in case any of the look-ups would fail.

Some store owners seem to get it working well and some don't. What have you got to lose?

[FONT="Tahoma"]Thats the exact same problem I have. If if weren't for Google Checkout itself notifying me of a sale, I would never know about it by my store. Customers don't show up, sales don't show up, and inventory does not decrease. And to top it off, even though I have everything except priority mail, UPS ground checked *off*, when someone does check out, they get to choose a whole bunch of choices (i.e. media mail, fedex... etc) I would love to know how to fix this, as I almost lost a few sales because of it. The version I have installed is the latest version.[/FONT]

Thanks very much
It is working fine now
Thanks

In the google payment module go on edit mode and set
"GoogleCheckout Carrier Calculated Shipping
Do you want to use GC Carrier calculated shipping? This feature can be mixed with Flat Rate Shipping, but not Merchant Calculated."

This to "False" This will prevent all the choices during checkout.
