    I tried to make the "instant" checkout with Google checkout but it seems the plugin wasn't ready for this.

    I tracked down this problem and get some info:

    In gCheckout.php, the function SendNotificationAcknowledgment does nothing:

    PHP:
    function SendNotificationAcknowledgment() {
                
                $acknowledgment = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<notification-acknowledgment xmlns=\"http://checkout.google.com/schema/2\" />";
                
                // don't work for unknown reason:
                // Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Unexpected element (notification-acknowledgment) encountered: notification-acknowledgment
                //
                //$response = $this->SendRequest($acknowledgment, 'request');
                
            }
    And this is a reply from GoogleCheckoutDevPro:

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Of course <notification-acknowledgment> returned to Google via the same connection, it is just hard to do another way :)
    Please say them that it does not help.

    And we would appreciate a lot if you contact us via helpdesk https://www.amember.com/support/
    for better response time. It is really a problem that we would like to resolve ASAP, but it is hard to do because of very slow Google checkout support.

    I think it's the same problem that I am having. My google checkout order process fine, but I have to manually flip the customer from pending to active status in Amember, then go to google checkout and click "ship" and "archive". My customers are not happy that it takes a couple hours sometimes for their activation. Google was unable to help me in this matter. Please let me know when a solution is found :(

    Google guys are now investigating into the problem, from our point of view it is completely on GC side, so we cannot fix it.

    Unfortunately, they are very slow to response. I hope it will be fixed asap.

    If you contact us in helpdesk, we will give you an exact question to ask GoogleCheckout support, so you can estimate quality and speed of their support. No response at all.

    I see that the payment integration scripts are in the distribution, but not listed on the CGI-Central AMember listing.

    Any update on GoogleCheckout?

    Looks like today we have the problem with Google Checkout.

    1. To use it you need your own SSL certificate.
    2. You need it configured in aMember CP -> Setup : Secure Root URL
    3. SSL must be ordered from one of these "Google Trusted" SSL sellers:
    http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=57856

    Then everything works, at least should work.

    The plugin status is still "beta", until we get several success stories from clients regarding this plugin. We would appreciate any feedback.

    I have heard that they want their integrated shopping cart button. Is there a way to do this?

    aMember is unable to work with buttons. Please try talk to them and describe your situation, I know it has been allowed for several customers to use aMember and don't use buttons.

    I have the same issue.
    I followed everything and still the "Instant Payment" does not work

    I got my SSL from GoDaddy CA Class 2
    I set up google to CHARGE

    I do not get ANYTHING in my error logs, it is almost as if they do not reply but I am not sure what else to do.

    Has ANYONE get their to work at all?

    do I use html or XML

    Also do they have a testing mode we can use? I really need this fixed as soon as we can so ANY advice would be VERY helpful

    Turns out I just needed to set GOOGLE to XML instead of html

    Hopes this helps someone down the road.

    Everything is working great now

    I'm switching from PayPal to Google checkout and I'm getting this error:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors() (previously declared in /home/factors/public_html/amember/plugins/payment/google_checkout/PEAR/PEAR.php:765)

    What does this mean?
