google checkout newbie question

[e1ski]

Hi, I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.8a and I'm having trouble getting Google Checkout v1.4.7 to show up on my online pages. Do I need to manually insert the Google buttons in the template somewhere?

I followed the instructions on the INSTALLATION file and read the README file. This is a new installation (today).

There are no other addons installed. I am hosted by GoDaddy.com.
This is my first store.

I guess I feel like I'm missing some big obvious thing.

My url is www.ewanski.com/cart/

Any help you can give will save me from wrinkles, white hair, and rapid aging due to complete dismay with my inability to code effectively.

Thanks,
Patricia

It's more likely that you installed the GCO templates in the wrong place.

Doug, thanks! But that's not it because I don't even see buttons on the screen to click to go to Google checkout. I guess I thought that they would be inserted somehow when I installed the module but I think I may need to somehow put the buttons into place and then link them to the engine-like code somehow.

Am I getting warmer?

You won't see the buttons until the GCO template files are installed in the correct places. The code for the buttons is already in the templates. They just have to be put where your cart recognizes them.

When you have the template files installed correctly, you will have a Google button on your login page and in the shopping cart page.

Ok, sorry to cast doubt. You must be right. I will look into this! Thank you!
