Description
Hi, I have not seen any documentation on how to make Ubercart Shipping Quotes work with Google Checkout. The documentation directs me to /admin/store/settings/google_checkout/shipping and this screen allows entry of flat rate shipping fees. I also have shipping quotes enabled on my website. How do I make Ubercart shipping quotes go into Google Checkout? This should be in the Google Checkout documentation.

In addition, the Google checkout button is pressed before checkout occurs, I do not have the zip code available. Is anyone using realtime quotes with Google Checkout?

Ubercart's implementation of Google checkout does not currently support that feature. Google requires that calculated shipping results be returned to Google in three seconds or less. This is not much time for Ubercart to query shipping providers (UPS, Fedex etc...), wait for a response, and forward it on to Google. If Google does not get a response, it defaults back to your flat rate, or fixed options. Because of this, the complexity of implementation, and a few other issues we have not yet implemented this feature.

I believe my issue stems from this same request - I want to offer free shipping for Ubercart carts totaling $100 or more. In Ubercart, this works fine using the Shipping Quotes. However, when I use Google Checkout, it simply uses the items configured in the shipping portion of the Google Checkout module, and calculates the shipping regardless of the Ubercart Shipping Quote Rules. Is there a way to check with those first, before sending the default rules off to Google Checkout?
