Shipping in Magento and Google Checkout based on location

Question

I integrate Google Checkout into Magento store (1.7.0.2). And i have one big problem.

I want to charge costumers for shipping based on their location.

For example: UK shipping: Free / EU shipping: 7 euro / WORLD shipping: 12 euro

Now when i click on Google Checkout button it sends me to pay but its not shipping costs added in order..

Answer 1

I'm not a Magento user/dev so this answer is specific to Google Checkout API.

Based on your question, you can send shipping information to Google:

1. As flat rate (pre-calculated on your end) data
   • note that flat rate is just Google speak - it simply means you/merchant have (pre)determined the cost some way and Google doesn't do any additional work with it (no other calculation, callback, etc.).
   • You can combine this "pre-calcuated" rate with shipping/address restrictions so that only the appropriate rate is displayed to your customer based on what delivery address they provide on checkout- remember, your customers can create new delivery addresses and/or select any they have provided previously, at the Google Checkout site. This simply means that the only time a delivery address is determined is at the Google Checkout web site.
   • additional reference - geographic areas
2. Use Merchant Calculations Shipping

You can't really use account shipping settings based on your question because it only handles the default Google restriction where delivery is restricted to your account country. In order to "enable" international delivery, you'll have to do this in HTML/XML code.

As stated, I'm not a Magento user/dev so how to do this in Magento isn't something I can help you with....
