Handling a return from Google Checkout

Question

I need to capture server side a notification of a users payment. I've gone through a good majority of the documentation with no luck, but will go through it again. Is there a way to enable a "return to site" after they complete the order?

Answer 1

I searched google checkout return url and got http://www.phpexpertsforum.com/return-url-in-google-checkout-after-payment-t561.html

There are 2 methods through which you can provide the return URL. 1) Go to your Google checkout account and Open the settings. In the settings>>Profile you can find a field with name "Public business website:" provide your return URL there.

2) The second method is , You can pass the value to Google Checkout with the HTML form as a hidden variable.

<input name="continue_shopping_url" type="hidden" value="http://www.yousite.com/payment_success.php">

OR

Set a function as below SetContinueShoppingUrl("http://www.yousite.com/payment_success.php"); function SetContinueShoppingUrl($url) { $this->continue_shopping_url = $url; }

Hope that helps.

It looks like you can configure gcheckout to send you XML notifications, but I don't see how you can associate it with a particular order ID other than matching fields or something...
