Forgot to mention, in GC tools/integration console I see these errors:

We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.sinfulthrills.co.uk/googlecheckout/api/ — the error we got is Error ‘TIMEOUT’ connecting to url ‘https://www.sinfulthrills.co.uk/googlecheckout/api/'.

BUT the googleerror.log in my var/logs directory is 0 bytes?

Hi Ashley,

I’m having a terrible time trying to get table rate shipping to work with GC. No matter what I select as my destination country I always get the same value of £2.50 appearing in the cart display of GC. £2.50 isn’t even a table rate value for any country so I’m not sure where it gets this from. I’ve tried uploading my table rate CSV with both 2 and 3 char country codes but no joy (did this because the GC log is showing 2 char codes).

I can’t make sense of the logs either so I’m really stuck with this one – could you help please?

I uploaded my GC log files here

Mostly yes, except when using the merchant calculated callback, then your shipping and tax can be wrong.

I have GC in place (along with options for paypal and amazon payments) on a testing site and it seems to work although I have not tested it with many different variable checkout situations.

i notice on some super big e-comm sites GC will be available on some products and not others.

I am looking at having some specialty product combos like:

buy x get y free
buy x and x get a better y free

where x-a might be a virtual product and x-b might be a simple product and y might be a t-shirt

if everything is added up correctly pre-gc is there still a chance of some sot of gc gotcha?

Hi Ashley

I have had constant problems with Magento 1.4 & Google checkout intergration, I have a valid SSL cert and to my knowlage the API is setup correctly, the Google order comes to me fine but it doesn’t send the order to the customer or add it into the magento admin.

My API Callback is: https://www.athema.co.uk/googlecheckout/api/

Could you advise?
Thanks

Daz

I think 503 is expected response to incorrect post data (which it probably will be if testing from wget) in Magento version 1.4+

I’m having the same challenge as Alton. I get a 503 error when doing the wget
