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?
Finally got back to this.

Where do you choose between CCS and Real Time?
