Google Checkout on 1.4.9.1

I installed the Google Checkout module and I've almost got it working (shows up front and back end, is configurable) except that when I try to checkout, it does not include the shipping costs. I have checked and rechecked all settings, files and permissions in my cart and on the Google site. When I get to the Google checkout page it does show the selected method (i.e: USPS, Flat Rate, Per Item) but there isn't any price. When I configure Google to calculate the shipping and change "Merchant Calculated" to no in my cart it works, but that is not the way I would like it to work. I want to use merchant calculated shipping. I have checked the logs and they are empty. Is it a problem with the callback URL perhaps? Could someone make a suggestion? TIA

I finally got it working. I am running PHP as CGI. There is an authentication problem when PHP is being run as a CGI under Apache.

To solve the problem, I added this line to my .htaccess file
All seems well at the moment. Still needs a little more testing. I hope that this helps someone with a similar issue. Thanks Daniel, you have some great software here.

I spoke to soon. It actually worked for a short time and now I get an error on the Google Checkout page "You do not currently have any valid shipping methods." When I enable Flat rate and use that as a shipping method it gets passed to Google and works properly. USPS did work for a little while and then it stopped. But the addition to the .htaccess file is definitely a step in the right direction. Any ideas?

I got it working again with USPS. It will only work up to a certain point though. From my testing it appears that it will only work for weights up to 13oz for first class. Anything over that will make it error with " you don't have any valid shipping methods". I think I read that USPS wasn't supported for this module yet. Is that correct? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am also having an issue with the Google Checkout extension.

It seems to have been integrated fine. There is a google checkout button on the side menu. I am confused however, after filling out checkout information through opencarts cart system and hit the checkout button (opencarts button) an error comes up saying that there is no payment system. But, if I click the google checkout button it kicks me to googles checkout page with no carried over address information (does carry product order info), making the buyer enter in the shipping details twice? I don't know if this extension is suppose to completely take the place of entering any info through opencarts checkout, or if the extension is only suppose to act as an alternative to a "built in payment system"?

thx 4 hlp

From what I understand about Google checkout is that a person is not supposed to need to create an account in any store offering Google checkout. It is sort of like a separate cart for Google on it's own. Whoever is buying anything from your store through Google will need to enter payment and address info through Google checkout. For Opencart, you will need to setup at least one shipping method to use with Opencart. You can setup Google to use the shipping that is set up in your store or you can set up shipping through Google.

Thank you for your reply.

So I am clear, the payment extensions included are "built in" and do not require separated transaction processes?

ie. if i configured 2checkout, would it be a completely fluid process?

Thank you

If I told you yes, I would be guessing. I have only used Google and PayPal Standard. I know that with PayPal, you go to their site to either log in and make payment through your PayPal account or use a credit card, with or without account.

USPS is not yet supported for the merchant calculated shipping. If you want to use that one, and if it is your only shipping method, use Google's own USPS instead.

Google Checkout in a different checkout procedure, no user login to Opencart is required (this is because of Google's quite restrictive T&C). Therefore, once transfered to Google, the customer enters his address and card details in there to do the final payment, or logs into his Google account to do the same.

You can have both Google Checkout (which as I said is a separate express guest checkout process) and e.g. 2Checkout (or any other regular Opencart payment module) installed on your Opencart system.

Is there an idea of when USPS might be fully supported for this module?

Is there a module that is fully integrated into opencart? Or are they all fancy links to payment gateways...

shameless bump...

I cant really test to tell if any are fully integrated without having signed up, etc, Does anyone know of a payment system that doesn't require buyer to go off site? is this even possible?
