You may have noticed that implementing Google Checkout on your Magento installation presents difficulties. This post presents the steps that must be taken in order to setup carrier calculated settings.
———————————————-
NOTICE: Once you complete these steps you will most likely receive time-out errors in Google Checkout thus requiring you to follow this other post in addition to this one.

Within Magento admin go to the following sections:
A) System -> Configuration -> Google API -> Google Checkout
- Enabled to YES
- Sandbox to NO
- Secure Callback URL to YES
- Debug Mode to YES (important!)
- Disable Default Tax Tables to YES
- The rest is self explanatory…
———————————————-
B) System -> Configuration -> Google API -> Google Checkout Shipping – Merchant Calculated
- Enable Merchant Calculated to NO
———————————————-
C) System -> Configuration -> Google API -> Google Checkout Shipping – Carrier Calculated
- Enable Carrier Calculated to YES
- Select your shipping methods…hold control to select more than one
- Delivery Address Category…change this based on your customers’ addresses (Residential or Commercial)
- Default price for methods: change this to something like $15 if only offering ground/parcel. This is in case the calculations fail
———————————————-
D) “Save Config” to save everything
———————————————-
E) Goto Google Checkout and edit the shipping settings to reflect Carrier Calculated and enter the names of the methods (IE: USPS Parcel Post) and select settings accordingly.
