Step 1.
First, sign into your Mal's e-commerce account, and navigate to Cart Setup > Payment Methods > Google

Step 4.
After signing into Google Checkout, go to your Settings page, then Profile. Make sure you fill out all of your business information.
Step 5.
Now click on Integration in the left navigation menu and follow these steps:
- Uncheck the box that says "My Company will post only digitally signed carts".
- Under API callback URL, enter the callback url you obtained in Step 2 above.
- Make sure XML is selected.
- On the right side under Account Information, copy down your Google Merchant ID and your Google Merchant Key.
Step 6:
Return to your Mal's Account and enter your Google Merchant ID and your Google Merchant Key. Click Setup Google and you're done!!
You have now successfully integrated your Google Checkout Account and your Mal's account. This will place a Google Checkout button on the first checkout page of your cart. If you have other payment Methods enabled such as Paypal, your customer will have to click "Go To Payments" to access your other payment methods such as Paypal, and/or check or money order (see below).
