s_ainley87 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am creating an online shop for a client, and he has specifically asked for me to use google checkout as the method to take payments, i was just wondering if any one had used this checkout on any website, and if they had what was there experience with it, how easy is to intergrate with your own PHP and what not? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cep Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I believe this is done using the web services API from Google. You funnily enough may want to Google, Google for the information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_ainley87 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have that information, i was thinking more on the info for bugs and glitches. Google is always my first port of call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know several high-profile websites that use google checkout for thousands of transactions a day. Knowing their dev team, I can blindly trust google's code for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_ainley87 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ok that is good to know, just got to work through the google documentation now... i presume you can link it to your own shopping cart? havent got that fat that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cep Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes the API should enable you to interact with their payment gateway no matter what type of shopping cart you set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_ainley87 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thats great, this is just a guess but i assume that the hidden fields that it uses to send it refer to the sessions that hold the cart info? Sorry i dont really understand the google documentation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You can get all the infomation via google payment service, just join all there api is free and fully supported with php........ http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/samples/Google_Checkout_Sample_Code_PHP.html it easy and free but also consider using good old paypal aswell..........
