Integrating Google Checkout

Thanks. Huge improvement to PageBuilder, by the way.

Google code per product is


<form method="POST"
action="https://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/1234567890"
accept-charset="utf-8">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Peanut Butter"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_description_1" value="Chunky peanut butter."/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_quantity_1" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_price_1" value="3.99"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_currency_1" value="USD"/>

<input type="hidden" name="ship_method_name_1" value="UPS Ground"/>
<input type="hidden" name="ship_method_price_1" value="10.99"/>

<input type="hidden" name="tax_rate" value="0.0875"/>
<input type="hidden" name="tax_us_state" value="NY"/>

<input type="hidden" name="_charset_"/>

<input type="image" name="Google Checkout" alt="Fast checkout through Google"
src="http://checkout.google.com/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=1234567890&w=180&h=46&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US"

</form>

Hi Gerald,

So what I'm thinking is you could just create fields for the values that you need to change. You probably have some of them setup already. In this case you'd need: name, description, price, and shipping (assuming it will always be UPS Ground"). It tax_rate and other values won't change we can leave those as is.

Then you'd insert those in the content as follows. Not that I'm using the PHP htmlspecialchars() function to encode the values so if there is a " in the value it doesn't break the tag. Also, I'll use the variable name $product, but feel free to use whatever your variable name is called.

<form method="POST"
action="https://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/1234567890"
accept-charset="utf-8">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['name']); ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_description_1" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['description']); ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_quantity_1" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_price_1" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['price']); ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_currency_1" value="USD"/>

<input type="hidden" name="ship_method_name_1" value="UPS Ground"/>
<input type="hidden" name="ship_method_price_1" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($product['shipping']); ?>"/>

<input type="hidden" name="tax_rate" value="0.0875"/>
<input type="hidden" name="tax_us_state" value="NY"/>

<input type="hidden" name="_charset_"/>

<input type="image" name="Google Checkout" alt="Fast checkout through Google"
src="http://checkout.google.com/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=1234567890&w=180&h=46&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US"
height="46" width="180"/>

</form>

Does that example make sense? Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions or need more help!

Thanks Dave. Just realized I am being a bit thick as I can produce this code for every product by simply including it within php loops. Cheers. Gerald

No problem at all, we're here to help! :)
