Was this information Helpful?

Hi!

So here's the deal, I followed all the steps here: www.ubercart.org/docs/user/5197/google_checkout, no problem. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to click on the little box next to the "Google Checkout" under "Payment Methods"

Could you please give me a hint what I'm doing wrong? I followed all the steps in the documentation. Maybe I'm missing something?

many thanks!

Re: Can't enable Google Checkout in the Payment Methods section.

Basically, you're not supposed to enable Google Checkout as a payment method. That's why it's disabled. Instead, customers are supposed to see the Google Checkout button on the cart page and click that. If that's not there, check the Cart Pane settings.

If the customer clicks Ubercart's regular checkout button, that means they choose not to use Google Checkout, so it shouldn't show up as a payment method on the checkout page.

Could you explain more?

Thanks for your answer Lyle. By the way I met you guys at Drupalcon in Boston and I'm really happy to finally have a few projects I can apply Ubercart!

The Google Checkout button does appear on my cart pages, but I'm looking to have that as the ONLY payment gateway on the site. Can I make the checkout button go directly to Google Checkout as the payment method? Or is there a way I can replace the checkout button with the google checkout button? What is my best option for this?

I had hoped this module would simply process the payment through google, but still collect all the information in the shopping cart. Is that at all possible?

For GCO, you always have to redirect (which makes it a little different from PayPal Express Checkout which can do either/or). You can disable checkout through the checkout settings or you might get away w/ a small module altering the normal checkout button to submit that form.

Small module altering the normal checkout button

Hi Guys,

Could you please give me more information on how to change the normal checkout button to submit the Google Checkout form as discussed above?

You guys Rock. I can't wait to blog about how Ubercart is revolutionizing e-commerce!

Re: Small module altering the normal checkout button

I'm not sure there is more information. Eye-wink

If you know JS you might be able to add some custom JS to the page to handle it, but the basic idea is what I outlined in my last post.
