Google Checkout??! How can we use it with Opencart?

I might sound a bit dumb here! but I can't see any mention or info to do with google checkout?

It would be nice to accept payments via paypal and google checkout. Besides adding a seperate button on the page is there anyway to integrate this within opencart?

Not currently and paypal doesnt work well either right now

Its all a matter of time.

I had hoped more people in the community would do a few payment gateways. Unfortantly there are more designers then developers using opencart.

I will do more paymentgate ways after I have fionished the new admin design.

what do you mean paypal isn't working? with 0.7.7?

PayPal works, but doesn't work like some people want it to.

Instead of complting the order at the checkout_confirm page it completes when paypal makes a call back.

Its not hard to change it if you prefer to have the order complete on the checkout confirm page.

During my tests a couple of weeks ago i used paypal for the order but the order still does not show in Admin or the customers account. This is two weeks now and obviously not suitable so i do hope that can get fixed at some point as ive had to use a different cart for the project.

yeah, that does sound like an issue with the callback. i think some people reported an issue due to their webhost blocking the port that paypal uses to send the callback?

this is probably something that should be configurable in opencart's paypal module... whether or not the sale requires the callback to get recorded. for me, the callback has always worked fine.

If it is a host issue then i would expect the same problem with the other cart but thats not the case as everything works perfectly. Its just something that needs to be addressed for future releases as it will put a lot of people off using OpenCart which would be a great shame

good point - i'm not familiar with the other cart products you may have tried, but are you sure they are waiting for the callback in the way that opencart does?

Im actually a designer for CubeCart and have since starteed skinning OpenCart. Using CubeCart, when the customer clicks on the button to transfer them to the gateway CubeCart then stores the order as Pending, meaning its not sure yet whether a payment has been received. Once PayPal or whatever gateway you use passes back the Success variable then CubeCart changes the order status to Processing, meaning that it knows that the order has been successfully paid for so check your account basically.

The good thing about that is the customer can view their store account and see that they have indeed placed an order and that it has been received and the good thing for the store owner is that even if the order status shows as Pending then they can either contact the buyer to follow up if they have not received the payment or check their payment gateway account to see if a payment has been received.

OpenCart is still in its infancy and even as it stands right now it is a fantastic cart solution that i personally believe is better than OSC and Zen because of its modular coding but with the right backing it could blow the socks off the competition. Sadly im a mere html coder and no nothing about php otherwise i would be putting some serious coding time in to make this fantastic. I have though let a couple of the CubeCart coders know how great OpenCart could be with their imput so heres hoping some more coders come on board

Do you mean just making the default order status to Complete? or change in the paypal module?

It would be really nice if OpenCart worked this way. Also - it would be nice that there would be a link from "Pending" order to retry payment attempt with paypal - if reply is negative.
