Dusty Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi,Is anyone using Google Checkout successfully with V 1.3.1? Please advise how you managed to configure it in order to make it workable. I sell clothing and the size and colour information is not being passed along with the order. Freight is correctly being included in the pricing but customers are advised to pick up their orders. All help would be much appreciated.Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc68 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Good luck with a reply. I've been trying for about 3 months to get someone to help me with my Google Checkout problem. The developers don't care, unless you pay them of course. I'd be happy to pay for the paid service if only I knew I was going to get the service but to date there has been nothing.

Dusty Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks for the post. It is extremely frustrating seeking help on this forum. I have posted to the bug tracker outlining the problems with GC. ie no product attributes included with the order, currency problems and the fact that it shows the item will be picked up despite the freight charges being included. Guess what? Absolutely no response!!! How they can release a new version of PS with such a buggy GC module is incredible. I have attempted to modify the GC files myself with no luck(I'm a shopkeeper not a programmer). I posted my attempts and appealed for help on the Development forum with not one response. If you want to see just how unsupported the GC module is try doing a search for "google checkout" on this forum. Plenty of reports mostly all unassisted. If you do a google search on the internet for "prestashop google checkout" you won't find very many users. I found one who sold dresses and guess what? size and color didn't appear on the order. How he was going to process the order is beyond me. The problem is that as GC is only available to merchants in the UK & US and as such it doesn't really rank with Prestashop's priorites. Good luck finding someone to assist you, I certainly haven't had much luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc68 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 That is the problem with Prestashop. It presumes its users are not merchants but are programmers. the developers are only interested in the people who pay for the Prestabox option and even simply upgrading the software needs a knowledge of PHP development. I'm already looking at other cart software due to the total lack of interest in its users by the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Prestabox assured me that the GC module works fine. Glad I changed my mind about paying them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi Patric,Thank you for your reply, the URL in Bug Tracker is:http://www.prestashop.com/bug_tracker/view/4982/Try doing a search in Bug Tracker for "Google Checkout" to get an idea as to response. The only queries responded to are those involving SSL Certs for GC and If you check the GC programmers site even SSL is no longer required. No one wants to address the problem with product attributes, currency etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I just brought into relief your Bug Tracker post and some of the posts in the forum about that module.I hope it will be fruitful. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Patric,I am extremely grateful for any assistance that you can provide. I am delighted that someone is finally taking this issue seriously. It is extremely frustrating when an issue like this is just ignored. I'm quite certain that a lot of merchants in the UK & US would like have a working version of GC to go along with PS. I have used it on another site for four years and I can tell you that having the Google Checkout Logo on the pages of your website certainly doesn't hurt. Thanks again.
