hi, before you start integrating google checkout, please be sure to go through the policies of google checkout. google checkout is quite different than paypal and i am not sure if you can use that as a model. for eg. in google checkout personal details are shared unitil the customer has clicked the order confirm button on google. Roughly the checkout steps are the following:
1) customer adds the products on your ecommerce website. 2) customer sees the cart, which has all the products added by him 3) along with your checkout button, the customer sees a google checkout button. 4) customer clicks the google checkout and is redirected to google hosted pages, your website passes all the cart variables( item name, quantity, price etc) to google 5) customer logs in google and then google sends you his address details like zip, country etc, and your site responds to it with shipping methods available and their charges. 6) google recalculates the order total and if the customer pays for the order it sends you the personal details of the customer and the customer is redirected to your site. The above steps are for level 2 integration. I am not sure how far it is practical, but it appears that google checkout is assuming that the customer never creates a account on your site. The whole USP of google is that the privacy of the customer is very high. The customer details are not shared till the customer has actually paid for the order. I was also trying to integrate google checkout, but i guess its very complicated. Chris tried to help me out, but i guess his sample code violates google's policy, ie. to show the google checkout button along with your own, and allow the customer to purchase with creating an account on your site. If i am correct Chris's code is more like paypal, it sends google the cart total shipping amount etc which are calculated while the customer is still on your site. Please do read google's checkout policies, before you try to integrate google with ofbiz.
