This is my own unique experience with Google Checkout. You
may or may
not be having the same issues and came up with the same
solutions as
me, but in the event that you are stuck, this is what I have
learned.
1. The only checkout option I give my customers is Google
Checkout. I
removed the normal Checkout option because too many
customers found it
confusing that if they clicked the normal checkout button
they
couldn't then checkout through Google. Of course, Google is
the only
credit card processing service I offer and it works well for
me. I
have been strictly using Google Checkout for a month now and
so far no
problems. Since Google Checkout isn't charging any fees
until 2008,
this is also the most cost effective solution for me.
2. The shipping integration has just never seemed to work
right,
therefore, I decided to just charge a flat shipping fee and
flat
handling fee per item. I disabled all other shipping options
including
Free Shipping and this seems to work. I would like to, at
some point,
integrate with USPS and have it calculate correctly in
Google
Checkout, but right now it just doesn't seem to work right.
3. I've never had any problems with my sales tax. They seem
to
calculate correctly in Google Checkout. I do not like,
however, how
Google adds the sales tax to the price of the item and then
in small
font says THIS INCLUDES 8.25% SALES TAX. I think the Sales
Tax should
be a separate line item like Shipping and Handling.
4. I also wish that I didn't have to enter my coupon codes
separatley
in Google Checkout. This means if I want to offer a new
coupon, I have
to add it in Zen Cart and then add it in Google Checkout.
Seems like
my customers could just enter it before Checkout and it pass
through
to Google Checkout.
Don't know if this info will come in handy to anyone, but if
you have
a question, feel free to email me using the form on my
site.
Thanks
