Google is starting to push their Trusted stores option more and more, and it's going to get to the point where people won't be able to compete without it.
Apparently only a few carts right now have support for the trusted stores feature.
They require shops to provide them with tracking number feeds as well as access to other information. Will there be support for this in a future version, or is there already a mod that I have overlooked?
I'd like to find out about getting support for this as well. I think adding the information that Google requires wouldn't be incredibly difficult - could be added to the order history screen with a few drop-down menus/text inputs for the tracking number, shipping carrier, ship date, and cancellation reason.
I just don't know how to get that information into a tab-delimited text file like they require.

scd1982, you don't put all that info into the feed, it's supposed to get passed to the Javascript that you install on your pages. Because, you know, we're all expert PHP/SQL programmers and know how to format those queries...

The issue right now is that there is nothing built into the system for really tracking that information, you need a mod for it.
Which is really needs to be built in.

Don't bother.
Google just changed the requirement from 100 orders/month to 500 orders/month.
It's a giant "SCREW YOU" to any small business, anyone selling custom/handmade products, and anyone selling niche/luxury goods.
Oh, and BTW, thanks for making me waste a WEEK of my time trying to get it to work, finally getting it to work, getting the confirmation that everything is good, and then BAM! hitting me with that requirements change.
Disappointed. Beyond. Description.

But yeah, I don't like this trusted stores thing either, and want the support for it so I can do it if need be.
I could use this myself. I am the small guy but I have over 500 orders per month no problem.
