Why is the integrations sooooo difficult?

I have been struggling with integrating google check out for
months ..
I give up in frustration .. first I tried the php/xml
integration (I'm
fair at coding in both, was successful with creating the
google xml
upload files) then discovered that the examples are bad so
gave up.
Now I'm trying to get the html code to work and my code
comes out as
an exact match to the example, except with my merchant id,
but google
says that there is an error and they will notify the seller
what the
error is .. but I haven't received any notification. I tried
to get
the dang sandbox to work and that has been even more of an
excersise
in futility and frustration. So if you want people to use
this
service, you have got to either make it work better or post
accurate
examples ....

make sure that in your account settings you don't have the
setting enabled 
which only lets you post xml carts for security.

When you get an error like this, you can find the
explanation of it in
your seller account Settings->Integration. E.g. "You
are not
configured to post unsigned carts to this server; please
change your
settings if you wish to do this."

Thank you everyone for posting suggestions .. could you tell
I was a
bit frustrated? ... lol
The problem did turn out to be Dabei's & Robin's
suggestion ... dah ..
honestly it took me forever to find out where that setting
is in my
account, I'm finding that the more google services I use the
more
confussing it is to find where specific information for a
particular
service is actually located ...

Now I need to get to work on the API call back .....
aaaaagggghhh!  ... Thanks again!

R o p u
FYI: None of the demos you have there work. I tried both OSC
and
Zencart. The GC button leads to nowhere.

Thanks.
