Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

Hello, I just installed the module and waiting for my Host to get back to me. It said, STOP: MIVA Empressa 5.04 or later required. Please contact your host.

Anyways, just wondering if anyone has had any issues with this? Have you generated any sales using Google?

Thank you.

And Happy Holidays

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

We have received some orders. Currently, we give the shopper the option of using our standard checkout or Google checkout. Probably about 1 in 5 select google checkout. Other than repeat customers, who already have an existing account, I would have expected more to select the google checkout.

One problem with the google checkout is that you loose the upsell function. I have thought of adding the upsell function to the BASK page so it is still available to the google checkout users, but have yet to figure out how to do this.

The Emporiumplus coupon module seems to integrate nicely...

Thank you for that info. So the emporium one is the one i downloaded from Google? I stopepd once i saw the Empressa warning, so i didnt look at it real well. We use the netpush coupon module, so I hope that integrates into it..

As for upsale, we have had that off as of late, yet was going to bring it back. Sounds like i cant do that now. Yet, we use the upsale template from Sebenza, so perhaps that will make a difference.

Ive been wanting to get an alternitive ordering system up for awhile. Almost had paypal setup, but this seems to be a better option. What ya think?

Anyways thanks for the info , i appreciate it.

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

I think the emporiumplus coupon module is the only one that currently works. Check with Sebenza or your coupon module developer to see if it is going to be supported. I heard something about Viking coupon support coming.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your empressa engine. Once you do that, but module should work. We like it! And, December transactions are being done without a fee. You can't beat that. If you use Google adwords advertising, they offset the checkout fee against your advertising which should lead to lower processing costs.

No upsell is a bummer...

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

The coupon module is not available from Google. It is available from Emporium Plus, Mivacentral, Design Extend, and Santafemall. If you already have the older version, you can get the update from the same store you got the original. It is a no cost update if you already have the 4.14-4.24 version.

Thanks Bill. I dont see the Netpush one in your list. i just checked and there is no update for the netpush other than what i have. I wonder if this will work or not. Still need to get bank verified , so im not sure if i can test or not at this point.

Thanks

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

I only have the modue that I wrote. There is a lot of coding to interface a module with google checkout so an old version you have would not have the new, required code in it. You'll need to get netpush to update their module or switch coupon modules if you want to offer coupons in google checkout.

Thank you Bill. I just wrote Netpush asking if there will be a fix to version 1.2 to allow this. Hopefully i will hear back from them.

If not, ill have to buy a new coupon module that will work with it as my store has many active coupons.

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

Just got the green light to begin Google Checkout. i was wondering, how are you advertising it as an alternitive option to buy. You just slapping the button on the BASK page, or are you adding some info about it there, or other places to make people aware of it.

Also, i havent heard anything back from netpush on updating there coupon module, not surprised though, they have never written back before, why start now.

Anyways, of the people that are using Google checkout, what coupon module will plug in and work right away. ive looked at Bill's and others, just trying to formulate an opinion as i need to get a new coupon module right now.

Thanks

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

We give people the option to use Google checkout or our standard checkout on the BASK page. We are in the process of forcing the checkout link through the BASK page (which is not done yet). You can see it at our site:
www.Lmine.com

We have the emporiumplus coupon module, which seems to integrate well. I don't think any of the other coupon modules have been updated yet.

Thank you Mark..I will check it out. Question, does Miva still handle all the order emails to the customers as always set, or do you have to setup the email section at google.

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

We have it set up send the standard MIVA email order confirmation, and google sends out one as well.

Re: Google Checkout Beta Users

How do i show the google option to check out if they click on "check out" in my basket display in right coulmn. Right now when clicked it bypasses the basket screen,,therefore no google checkout option.

Only chance as of now to use google is thru initial basket screen, or redirect from product adds....
