Google Checkout using HTML Code Similar to PayPal - google-checkout

I am trying to integrate a Google Checkout "Buy Now" button, and am hoping that there is some HTML code available similar to adding a Buy Now button in PayPal. I have not had much luck as yet, and was wondering if someone would be able to point me in the correct direction?
I also need to be able to add a callback address into the script (not set through the google checkout admin panel).
Thank you in advance for your help!

It's all documented in the Google Checkout API. Additionally, there is a guide that shows the different ways you can implement Google Checkout depending on your available resources.

How to add Mailchimp to existing signup box

I'm very new to Mailchimp. I would like to add mailchimp to existing PHP based signup form. I don't want to use the forms from Mailchimp. I've searched on Google but didn't find any solution yet. How can I do that?
I just wrote a short tutorial to help anyone facing this issue. Please check it here: http://www.sunarlim.com/2014/04/mailchimp-sign-form-php-jquery-ajax/
MailChimp APIs are actually very easy to understand and they provide massive list of references and their own libraries to help developers to implement.

Google Review on my Website

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to feed google reviews into my website? I would like it to be kinda of a testimonial type page. Or if i could feed it with a slider reviews that would be really awesome. Any ideas?
I recently needed to get reviews as well for a similar application, so I created a jQuery plugin that will fetch ALL the reviews and allows for options to be passed in for filtering.
google-places jQuery Plugin
This question is kind of old but maybe it will help someone else
The Google Places API now supports the return of up to five reviews from a Place Details Request.

Google Analytics ecommerce only tracking Paypal

I'm having an issue with Google Analytics ecommerce tracking. I've found numerous posts about this, but none of the fixes seem to apply. We're on Magento 1.5.0.1, so all the GA code should be built in. We also installed the Fooman GA+ module, but that didn't help this issue. The tracking code IS showing up on the success page when viewing the page source, but it doesn't look right...no items listed. If I view the list of transactions in GA, it seems that they are all the Paypal transactions but credit card or money order transactions aren't coming through. We use Website Payments Pro for our Credit Card transactions, so ultimately it's all going through Paypal anyhow.
I did some digging around in the code and it seems that the "_getOrdersTrackingCode" function in Ga.php is where the problem lies. I added some logging...
$orderIds = $this->getOrderIds();
Mage::Log($orderIds);
...and found that the majority of the time, $orderIds is empty. Sometimes it isn't and that is when the tracking code works.
What's going on here? Anyone know?
I have fixed the problem. We use a 3rd party extension for checkout and it needed to be updated for 1.5.0.1 compatibility. The dispatcher of the *checkout_onepage_controller_success_action* event needs to send an array of the order ids as well. This wasn't necessary in 1.4.2.0. I updated the extension and it's working great now! I hope this helps anyone else with a similar issue.
Please note that this is an ORDER COMPLETE / SUCCESS event. You can't see the rendered code until you've completed a (test) transaction. On the order confirmation page, hit view source. In your <script /> tag's you'll see some new push code if all goes well.
Yes, Brian, your code definitely lead us in the right direction. We ended up turning the PayPal checkout to test mode = yes, debug mode = yes. We're on 1.4.2. and this worked fine. Respond to this if you need help. If I'm alive, I will try to get back to you.

How can I customize the appearance of Google Checkout?

I opened a merchant account with google checkout and would like to customize the html/css. I have googled and searched around, but could not find anything. It seems that its not possible at all. The merchant account doesn't show any options either. But, I found the following page, which uses a custom header:
https://checkout.google.com/view/buy?o=shoppingcart&shoppingcart=966330776082367
It seems that this page is using a custom skin, which is hosted on the google servers, however as said there is no option at all in my merchant account. If anybody knows how this can be done, please share.
Update 1: After searching around for hours, I found the support link, which does allow you to upload an image for the merchant account. However there is no sign of a custom css. Here is the link: http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/request.py?ctx=cm
Update 2: The logo I added in update 1, does not appear yet in my checkout page. I guess it needs to be approved by google first.
Customizing the CSS of the order pages is a feature no longer offered by Google.
Regarding the custom logo see this threads for more info:

Note that you can customize the behavior and appearance of the shopping cart through CSS and JavaScript:

You can either customize only the UI, or get deeper into things and customize the cart itself via the API.
