You RAWK! I've been bangin' my head trying to figure this out.

I've got everything working now except making Google Checkout the only option. This post says to disable the checkout button, which I did, but then there's nothing there for the user to click on for checking out. Just a blank.

So, the customer clicks checkout, and they get auto-forwarded to the login page, which I want to keep as a log in page for exisiting customers.

Maybe I don't understand the previous post correctly, but How do I get them to click Checkout and then only get Google Checkout, without a login or create account option?

Angel, you should do two things.

First disable the default checkout button,.

in default installation includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
line 132

Then in the login page you should also add a redirect to index.php?main_page=shopping_cart this will avoid buyer to enter regular checkout through there.

im pretty sure thats all you need to do.

you can also remove from googlecheckout/gcheckout.php line 521 this code

<td align="right" valign="middle" class = "main">
 <B><?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_TEXT_OPTION ?> </B>
</td>

so - Or use - string is not shown

Oops, I quoted the wrong post. Here is what I'm referring to.

Minneapolis_Dan, did you get the original issue resolved that you and I exchanged posts about? If so, it's helpful usually to post back that the suggestion fixed your problem. That way others with same problem will know what works.

You mentioned everything is working now but you didn't tell us if the changes I proposed solved your problem or if you did something different to make everything work. That's useful information for others that might run into the same problem.

If I found my file changes I will post (but don't wait for me). This issue has been discussed both in this thread as well as on the google group: http://groups.google.com/group/googl...rt-mod-support . You might want to take a look there if you haven't already.

Yes, you're right. Thanks for your help. I should mention my solution, in case anyone else gets turned around like me.

In my mind, I was confusing the setting in ZenCart for continue shopping, and the setting in Google Checkout for API callback.

I didn't understand that what I set in ZenCart Admin, for Continue Shopping, was just a link back to the site, and not involved in the actual writing of the order from Google Checkout back to ZenCart.

So, what I entered in the Google Checkout settings for API callback, for the responsehandler.php, is functioning as a silent post (at least the way I understand it.) It sends a response back to ZenCart behind the scenes, and when I click the Continue Shopping, and go to my "checkout_success" page, ZenCart has me logged in as a customer and I can view my order.

As I falling asleep last night, the concept suddenly became clear to me, and in the morning, I had it all working. I get myself confused when I get into coding and terms I don't understand.

So what did you use as the call back in google? Are you talking about logging into google and changing the callback setting? I have not had mine working in 7 months and it is very frustrating!!! Thanks, you may be my life saver!!

Wow, could I have helped someone else for a change? That would be great.

In Google Checkout: Settings: Integration: API Callback URL:
enter the path back to your responsehandler.php file.

For me, it was:
https://mydomain.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

Replace https://mydomain.com with whatever the secure URL is for your store.

So, I have been combing over this forum, and still don't understand how to get Google Checkout as the only option for checkout.

I've read one solution, but it didn't seem to work for me.

As it stands, if someone opts to create a new account, or logs in as an existing customer, they can start to checkout but under payment options, it says there are none, because Google Checkout is my only option. And the only way right now to choose Google Checkout as a payment option is during checkout, if the user is NOT logged in, and they get sent to the login page.

How do I get it so if a user is logged in and goes to checkout, they can choose Google Checkout as a payment option, and get sent out to Google's server?
