Get POST data back from Google Checkout?

My web app needs to get POST data back from Google Checkout
with
information about the successful/unsuccessful transaction,
including a
transaction ID and amount paid. Is this possible? I've tried
to find
this in the API but can't. Thanks!

I am looking for the same thing but had no luck on this
forum.

It is mighty important for my website to get a post back
from Google
instantly, like Paypal which I am using at the moment, as I
am in food
delivery business. My app needs to know if a payment has
been made so
it can process the order pronto. It is no good for me to get
a message
even in 15-20 minutes or manually checking "Merchant
Center". Can this
be done?????

Any help is much appreciated.

I've also been looking into this.  The Notification API is
the answer
- thanks pablof - but I am not sure there is any way to pass
Google
your internal order or transaction reference, and then have
Google
call you back with it.  Without that it is difficult to
match up the
notification API callback with your original order
reference.  So far
I have only looked at the HTML checkout API (I realise the
notification API is XML).

Thanks, so just a matter of adding these as hidden form
variables in
the HTML POST.  Why are you suggesting merchant-private-data
instead
of merchant-order-number - the latter seems more relevant
... but I
can't seem to find it in the complex checkout example XML
(from which
in theory it is possible to derive the HTML form variable
name)?

merchant-order-number will appear in the merchant center
reports, but
it won't be returned to you in the notifications /
merchant-calculation-callbacks

you should send your order number in both places

Thanks pablof.  It is a shame such fundamental stuff as
being able to
pass a merchant order number into Google checkout is not
explained
more clearly in the documentation.  I am using the HTML API
at the
moment.  I have used the following hidden form fields:

<input type="hidden"
name="add-merchant-order-number.merchant-order-
number" value="myordernumber}" />
<input type="hidden"
name="shopping-cart.merchant-private-data"
value="myordernumber" />

However "myordernumber" is nowhere to be seen in
the Merchant Center.
At the bottom of the merchant centre order details it still
says
Google order number: XYZ and then Myshop order number XYZ -
instead of
using the order number I passed it.  I know the hidden form
fields are
working because I have also successfully passed <input
type="hidden"
name="checkout-flow-support.merchant-checkout-flow-supp
ort.continue-
shopping-url" value="myshopurl" /> etc
etc.  Neither the documentation
http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Che
ckout_XML_API_Tag_Reference.html#tag_merchant-order-number
or the downloadable "complex checkout example"
have this information
and so far I have not been able to work it out by trial and
error!
