This QuickGuide will explain the Online Payment Manager modifications, and what you need to do to set up your storefront so that you can offer the Google Checkout checkout option.
Online Payment Manager
A section for enabling/disabling the Google checkout option has been added to the Online Payment Manager screen. 
This allows customers who have a Google account the option to use Google's secure checkout. When customers select this option, they will be redirected to the Google secure payments website.
Note: If the customer does not have a Google account, they will be prompted to create one before proceeding with their purchase.
Set up Google Checkout in your Admin Panel: Online Payment Manager
In order to use Google's checkout option, you must first configure this option and enable it in your Admin Panel. You will do this by going to .
- Log in to your storefront Admin panel.
- Go to Checkout >> Online Payment Manager.
- In the Google Checkout Checkout Settings section, enter your Google Merchant ID and the Merchant key that you got when you opened your Google Merchant account.
- Click on the button "Enable Solution".
Note:This is a toggle button that will change to "Disable Solution" once Google Checkout has been enabled. - Click the Enable Solution button if you are ready to enable Google Checkout.
Note: The following steps assume that the Google Merchant account has already been set up by following the steps in the previous page.
Reminder: if you have not done so already, you must log in to your Google Merchant account and enter your store's URL in the Store Integrations Settings tab.
Once you have completed these steps, the Google Checkout option is enabled on your storefront and the button will appear below your own Checkout button.
Congratulations! You are now ready to offer the Google Checkout option to your customers.
Set up Google Checkout in your Admin Panel: Shipping Methods
Currently, Google does not support real time shipping options, so If you want your customers to see shipping methods when they use Google's checkout option, you must first configure custom one or more shipping methods.
You will do this by going to .
- Click on the Custom tab in the Shipping Manager screen.
- Enter the information to edit or create a new custom shipping option.
Note:If you do not see the Custom tab, go to the Global Settings tab, in the Shipping Settings section, click the drop-down button in the field and choose Custom Shipping or Custom & Real-Time shipping. The screen will refresh and the Custom tab will appear at the top next to the Global Settings tab. Click to Save to keep your changes.
For additional information on setting up custom shipping options, review the Online Shopping Cart Manual.
Set up Google Checkout in your Admin Panel: Order Editor
Google orders will display in the same section of the Admin panel as other orders. The only difference you will see is that these orders will display some different details in the Payment Information section of the order.
The following information will be helpful to you when you are reviewing customer orders through Google Checkout:
- At no time will any credit card information be sent to the storefront. All payment details are entered on the Google secure website and processed by Google.
- If you have not set up custom shipping, the order will display with no shipping method selected.
Warning: At this time, notification from Google to the Admin panel following an order may be delayed. You may see a span of up to 15 minutes between the time the customer places the order and the time it appears in your Order Editor screen.
Note: Changes made to the status of an order will not be reflected when they are made through either system. When order status changes are made through your Google Merchant Account they will be displayed within the Payment Information section of the Order Editor in your MonsterCommerce Admin panel. Therefore we recommend managing your orders through your Google Merchant Account at this time.
