Not sure what program Mal's uses but they were able to write in the Google call back
and place a Button on our carts if we so desire, but
it is limited. Bell go act like your buying something and see what I mean.
You'll see the GP Button.
I have to be honest I'm really not impressed with what GP has came out
with so far and it its going to be more of a PITA to integrate why would I bother.
Even though I'm xppman I'm not stoopid... as it stands now I have three different
ways to collect cc payments at present. Never know when one may give you a hassle so.
Unlike so many I've seen, even me include,. there was a time when all my stuff was
pp shopping carts only. In one swoop they could have put a big damper in my online sales for a week or so at least.
So glad I got a merchant account and I think it's worth every penny.

xP, I tried it on your site. I wasn't aware that customers have to sign up( for Google) in order to make a purchase. Shades of PP. :o
Why is it difficult to integrate?
Is your cart a zen or a mals, xp?

I do understand to a certain extent why they want peeps to sign up but will
contend it is looking more like PP revisited if you ask me.
My MA customers don't have to "sign up" to make a payment.
but Google's real goal from what I understand is to try and track
peeps surfing and buying habits.
The more I look at it... the worst Google Payments seems to be.

Quote:CRE Loaded sneaks Google AdWords in their "free" version, which irritates me.
That is soooo easy to get rid of in the free version.
Code:
open the file:
includes/application_bottom.php
Comment out the line:
include($cart_links);Poof! No more forced advertising in footer.
$cart_links is defined in application_top.php to point to the javascript file javascript/cart_links.js.php
That file contains all the code for writing that little extra on the bottom of the page with the google ad in it.

I was looking into PP buttons for someone.
They have changed some stuff since I used them.
Even made a few button only to find the "Continue Shopping" button takes you to no where.
Anyone have any idea how to make that point BACK to your website.
It don't seem to be in the "form" so must be another place on PP you must tic to get
your URL to come up.
Oh the biggest downfall to using PP only.
Better hope they NEVER freeze your account.
Your SOL then.

PS I thought ZEN cart was a cart? You mean you have to re design you whole web site just to use the cart features. Hope not.. I was under the impression you could place your Cart code (like a form) on your pages as a button.

[/quote]I don't think so. A lot of people make the "store" area of the website ZenCart, but I don't think there's any way to just use the checkout feature in PayPal fashion.

Well if anyone has more than an "I don't think so" answer. I would appreciate it.
That's all that is keeping from making the change over at this time.
(Although I have 3 months to go w my hosted cart provider before next quarterly payment
so can keep the form presently being use until such time as I have my ZEN cart operational)
I understand that my Zen cart needs to be configured and data loaded to MySQL data base for back end cart operations. i.e. look, feel calculations, etc..
Payment options, and pass info to gateways, SS side and what info I want to have pre filled by the customer prior to pass
(maybe just Name zip and email and let them fill in the rest.. cc address and all, at the
payment gateway)
I'm more concerned about the "form" portion.
The code I will replace my current code with...
After I have my new cart all set up to do so that is.
See if I can clarify. With Mals. (and even when I was using PP's forms)
I didn't have to go in and pre fill all information on their sites to generate
new "forms" / buttons
for each item that are my "Add To Cart" buttons now.
I simply had to change the fields in the "form" for different products
i.e. the "product" values and "pricing" values.
The rest of the form stayed the same SEE EXAMPLE BELOW.
the FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="STAYS THE SAME As ASSIGNED To My CART"
the INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE="STAYS THE SAME As ASSIGNED to My new zen cart file / account"
the INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="product" VALUE="CHANGES FOR EACH Product"
the INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="discountpr" VALUE="CHANGES FOR EACH Product"
the input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="STAYS THE SAME As ASSIGNED"
the input type="hidden" name="return" value="STAYS THE SAME As ASSIGNED"
the input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="STAYS THE SAME As ASSIGNED"
See what I'm saying here?
Probably most of my concerns and Q's will be answered if
and when i can see a live demo "control panel" on how to
proceed with ZEN. LOL
