Hi all~

I knew that there is one google checkout within the website, but that's like an individule cart that adds up everything including the shipping and tax with google, and even the after works like sending a receive.

Im looking for the kind of google chekout module that works just like the paypal, have everything calculated with the opencart and link to the google for paying process.

Does anyone understand what im trying to say here??

Plz Help!!!!

google checkout doesn't offer api processing. You have to send the customer to their site to login and pay just like paypal standard. That's the only service that google checkout offers.

Google's T&C don't allow us to use Opencart's normal checkoout procedure, e.g. where customer logs into his Opencart account and then does the checkout and payment. Google insists on using its own checkout procedure. All we are allowed to do is to pass Opencart's shopping cart to Google Checkout and then transfer the user to the Google Checkout payment gateway.

Express Checkout (Google/Pay pal) & Open cart checkout flow

I'm suggesting below to open cart when it comes to express checkouts like Google and PayPal. Any express checkout does not need to login and type any user details in the cart itself. So having current Google checkout integrations looks bit odd to the Open cart.

I have researched how other popular sites implemented this and found most of sites implemented this like below.

Code: Select all

Open cart checkout Today-> Request User Detail --> Choose Shipping  Method --> Choose Payment method --> Enter Coupons --> Confirm

Suggested checkout --> Choose Payment Method --> Request User Details --> Choose Shipping Method --> Enter Coupons -> Confirm
In this way we can redirect call to express checkout site from step2. So user feel unique checkout flow for any payment methods.

One sample: http://www.ebuyer.com

Any Comments?

Thanks,
kathuk

that won't work because you have to request the user details before payment so you know the billing address in case you have zone based payment setup. What really should happen is that there should be a hook in the shopping cart page where the express mod makers can add their buttons this is how most other carts I've seen do it. On the shopping page you will have checkout or chekout with google checkout with paypal express that way the user never gets taken to the login/create account page.

Thanks for your reply.

I can see what you mean. Depending on the user's shipping details open-cart listing available payment methods. This is for core payment methods. So for any express payment method would be in side the cart module. Today we have just checkout button. So In addition to those you mean set of express checkout buttons will be there.
It make sense!

Thanks.

I had no problem adding my express checkout buttons to all places (login page, cart page, cart sidebox). Javascript is your friend and is the ultimate hook

yes that's true. Though I would imagine that them makers are more likely to copy over the hook code than they are to keep all the classes/id's the same so that your dom reference doesn't go away on you. Either way it's not a huge deal. I was just a bit taken back by the way the google checkout is only in the sidebox. I can see many customers not noticing it where they would if it was right near the checkout button on the shopping cart page.

Paypal Express was also a sidebox only initially too.. it only recently came to me in a dream to add the button with javascript. I try to use the most generic element matching as possible to make it more universal.. But you are right.. some hooks for the view would be key
