Has anyone gotten google checkout to successfully work? Everything I try, when I go to google checkout, the page basically times out. The response_body column in the debug table shows NULL and occasionally when I go back to the shopping cart page it says “Google Checkout: Invalid response from Google Checkout server “
My google checkout is setup exactly like the magento tutorial shows, but it just wont work. Does anyone have any ideas? Im hosted on godaddy, have a basic SSL from them. Using the Flat rate option in google checkout config on magento store. I dont have any taxes setup, could that be it, or could it be my hosting environment? If anyone’s gotten this to work, please let me know or if anyone is having the same issues.
I have it working just fine. Try adding a new dummy product with very generic information and see if you can add that to cart. One problem i had was the weight attribute was not set, for some reason the google checkout xml required this. When i set “weight” to 0 it worked fine.
@jwebber - I went to your site to check out the Google Checkout implementation but can’t seem to find anything about Google Checkout? I want to make sure that our customers have a Google Checkout and PayPal option during checkout. Is there a live example out there anywhere?

same here, he says hes got it workig just fine, but its not even on his site. And seemd to offer free shipping, which if not an issue,. The issue is google checkout does not work with carrier calculates shipping.
SOmebody said somehwere it will work if you click google checkout AFTER entering shipping address, but I don’t see anyway to do that. Once you start down the magento roaod of shippoing address, there is no “Google Checkout” button that I see.
Yepp. I have even emailed Magento support and a team member about this - but I have not received one single reply. I have asked in numerous forums and threads, and still nothing.
If Google Checkout is NOT working with Magento - please let us know.
Well one thing I learned that I did not know, and thank you to Serge, a magento team member who started helping me with this a month ago, then I got involved in other stuff and forgot about it. Went back and read his advice, and found we can log onto our google checkout account and see what errors there are from attempts at checkouts.
Whatall my errors say is that I do not have an https callback url, which seems to say a SSL cert is required. I am not sure I understand tht, sicne google is collecting the customer data, but thats what all the “issues” say, every one of them. First I didnt have any callback url filled in there, so no wonder it didn’t work. But even once I put in what Serge said, it still gives the https errors, and I am not sure what that has todo with shipping either. It all seems to work, excxept it has no shipping info.
When I click to read the thread from the CPM forum, it says “You are not authorized to view this forum”?! Oh - it is for Community Pro Members only I presume.
Now, I know that for callbacks, you need SSL. However, my Google Checkout contact has confirmed that this is not necessary and does not impact shipping charges. He has also said that Magento is NOT passing shipping charged on to the GC cart. The GC cart displays ONLY what it gets from Magento.
Lisa, I am not sure if magento is aware of this or not. They don’t say much about it. Is this a google employee who told you this about the shipping charges not being passed?
Also what do you mean by
I know that for callbacks, you need SSL
I don’t understand the term ‘callbacks’. Do we need an ssl cert on our magento site? I uess it would make sense since in regular checkout even, we are collecting the creditcards etc. I hadn’t stopped to think abou that. I have an ssl cert on anohter site on this same server, guess I need to get one for the cookware site too. But what do oyou mean by “callbacks” Probably a term I should know, or know by some other word perhaps.;
As far as I know, SSL is needed only if you want Google Checkout to pass on customer and cart information back to Magento interface upon completion of an order.
Yes, a Google Checkout support staff member told me about Magento not passing on shipping to Google Checkout. He could not go and have a look at the code, as they do not support 3rd party integrations, but he confirmed the shipping charges were not there.
If anybody can help with GC and shipping charges - please reply!
WoW, we just got our first live order and am now experiencing problems with Google Checkout not getting shipping charges or creating the order within Magento. This is ridiculous. How can you release this and say its working and then it not. Money is involved here. wtf.
I understand and share your frustration - but you should have tested GC first using their sandbox. I am still trying to get it to work - but the problem is, nobody seems to know what the problem is, and Magento staff is nowehere to be seen.
I have not seen one single Magento site where Google Checkout works fine with table rate shipping.
I guess you are right, but that isnt the problem. The problem is that there is a half ass Google Checkout module with no fix and no official response from Varien or the Magento team about its status. This should be resolved today!
When you test the Google Checkout, is an order created within the Magento order’s page? The order that went through on our site didn’t get created in the back-end…
I believe that is ONLY possible if you have SSL on your domain, and have entered the correct callback URL in your integration settings in Google Checkout.
As I want to test if GC works at all - I have not purchased a SSL certificate yet.
Gotta get shipping charges to show first - then I’ll worry about order updates!
