Hi. Trying to setup Google Wallet for a client. Everything is setup but when you go through the registration process the Google Wallet button is an image, not a link and throws an XML page with a errors. I understand the image source needs to match the merchant ID and I have that and the key (now called “secret” in Google Wallet) setup in the Event Espresso settings. Only thing I haven’t verified is the postback URL but I think that’s optional. If not can you tell me how/where I should apply that? Any advice here is appreciated. We’ve setup PayPal in the interim but if we can get Google Wallet to work we’d really like to.

Hi Sarah,

Are you planning on accepting payments for events after November 20, 2013? The reason I ask is because the API that Event Espresso uses for Google payments will be retired by then, and we will be pulling it from the Event Espresso plugin before then. Instead of going through and troubleshooting this it may be more advantageous to use another gateway that will be around for a while.

Here’s the info that applies to Event Espresso’s Google payment integration:

I am aware of the Nov deadlinebut my site is live right now promoting an event that takes place July 26-28th.

I’ve created the merchant account, saved the the keys in EE and created a page called google_checkout but I don’t understand the rest of EE’s instruction – namely

<blockquote>

create google_checkout page on your website with an added GET query parameter of ‘type=google_checkout’). Leave the “Callback Contents” as “Notification Serial Number”.

Set the API version to 2.5, and check the box under “Notification Filtering” stating ” I am integrating using the Order Processing Tutorial documentation and will receive and handle only the following notifications: new-order-notification, authorization-amount-notification, order-state-change-notification.”.</blockquote>

This doesn’t seem to match the EE setup form. However, my man query is having set up the google_checkout page how do I impliment the ‘get query parameter. also there doesn;t seem to be any reference to an API version. Can you elaborate?

Hi,

The API callback URL will be

http://www.yoursitenamehere.com?type=google_checkout

the ?type= bit is the GET request, so yes the instructions are confusing as it seems to ask you to do something else. All you need to do is add the correct page from your site (home page is fine) with the added get request ?type=google_checkout

Here is one of our test sites set up to show you http://d.pr/i/pMig (note that gateways is the sites root level).

I dont believe the &ipn=true bit is needed, so test without and if struggling test with.
