FIRST TIME INSTALLERS:
Be sure to read the README and INSTALLATION documents FIRST!
BACKUP:
If you are upgrading, before doing so:
1. Backup all your mod files and customized templates files from the
current mod version you have installed.
2. Backup your settings in modules > payment > googlecheckout
3. Backup your shipping (mc arrays) configuration (recent versions in
shipping_methods.php. Previous versions in the payments module file).
4. Backup your response message and error logs.
OTHER RECOMMENDS:
And for all and as always it is recommended before installing that you
backup your OSC shop directory and database.
It is recommended installing this mod on a test/demo shop and testing
in sandbox mode (and if possible in live production mode) before
installing on a real live shop.
Test your shipping configurations completely BEFORE going live. Please
review posts on discussion forum to help troubleshoot potential
shipping configuration issues (for example limiting number of shipping
methods and options in shipping_methods.php).
UPGRADING:
Read the README, and UPGRADE and CHANGELOG documents.
It is recommended that upgraders completely remove previous mod
version and install fresh. (when removing there is no need to
manipulate OSC database).
Use care when editing core files or merging code and customizing
templates. Back up first!
After updating files on your host be certain to go to OSC Admin UI >
Modules > Payment and uninstall the googlecheckout module. Then
reinstall.
