Per Bruce, it might be my IE browser settings

Conceptually, that is what I want ie write the order first then go off to pay

	function getActionUrl() {
		return $this->url->ssl('checkout_process');
	}


	function fields() {	
		return '';
	}

	$this->order->process($results['order_status_id']);
	$this->cart->clear();

How do you enable shared SSL on Open Cart? I thought Open Cart couldn't do shared SSL.

OpenCart doesn't, it's up to your web hosting provider to offer this. You (and your payment gateway if it sends back messages) just need to be able to access your OpenCart server, especially the callback function, via the HTTPS protocol. Also make sure your specify the HTTPS_BASE in your config.php file.

as an aside, I was also unable to use
$this->order->getReference()
for a reference number if I process the order "before" going to payment gateway as OPen Cart generates a new reference that is not the same as the order's reference.
I ignored that problem and just use the buyers phone number as a ref. That'll do.

OpenCart doesn't support it tho. Due to the session/cookie domain stuff. When you leave mysite.com to goto shared.hosting.com/~mysite it drops your session.

I don't really need SSL for my stores, because any criticical credit card details and payments are handled on the Google Checkout pages which uses its own SSL anyway. However, when Google sends back messages, e.g. 'payment processed', etc., to OpenCart's callback function, Google always insists on using SSL, even though the messages it sends don't contain any critical details (no credit details, no passwords ). Still, I had to enable shared SSL on my server just for the callback function so as to be able to receive and process the messages coming from Google.

I'm having trouble with the google payment gateway.  Everything is installed and I have a sandbox account with google.  After going through the payment process, and it acts like it should be re-directed to the google site, but a blank page shows up with http://xxxxxx.com/store/index.php?contr ... ut_process in the address bar.  Could it be that I do not have an SSL certificate set up? even for the sandbox?  any other ideas?  I've setup using the latest versions...and followed the instructions step by step...twice.
