Google as a selectable payment option, and not just through the shopping cart.

[woody24]

The problem I am having is that I need Google to be a selectable option on the choose payment page. I was looking through the code, and saw that it is removed on that page since its already in the shopping cart page. So I reverted this code back to the way it was, and Google checkout is now a selectable option on payment. But when it continues, to the confirm order page I don't believe its pulling the data. Because when you click submit order it just takes you back to the shopping cart page, and no order is processed.

 

I need this because it seem my customers are over looking the Google checkout option. They are continuing thoughout the payment process, and once they leave the shopping cart, the only option they are left with is PayPal. my orders about about 90% paypal, 10% google. And I even have coupons for free shipping set up for google.

 

 

Also, on a side note, when an order is processed through google, the data of the order is not sent to the admin area. I see all the options for Google order processing, pending, etc, but nothing is ever send to admin. The only notifications I get are from Google directly.

I would have thought this would have been a common issue that people have wanted, or have figured out.

I have Google checkout also and a small % go through google. I think it is the reason it's not a selectable option. I would interested in which bit of code you changed or reinstated. When I do take ordes through google it does not create and order which you can see in admin.

The code is on checkout_shipping.php. The code that is suggested to put in on that page removes Google as a selectable option. I never read the comments before. But as I was going through to try and figure out how to fix it myself, I noticed that the comments clearly say that that code that goes on checkout_shipping.php is to remove Google from being selectable because its listed in the shopping cart page. To me this is stupid. Why wouldn't I want Google listed on that page as well.

 

To add google back as a selectable option, don't add any code to that page. Leave it as clean as it was to start with. But the only problem when testing it is, I think the google account info isn't passed any further than that page. So when you submit your order, it doesn't know what to do. It doesn't know your account number, it doesn't even know that it need to go to google to finish the process, it just sends you right back to your shopping cart. Im no PHP, or coding wiz for that matter, so I have no idea whats going on behind the scenes, thats just my guess.

 

So PLEASE, if anyone knows how to fix this, please help!
