<div title="Add to cart" role="button" tabindex="0" class="googlecart-add-button"></div>
</div>
...Note: If you are using option “Process whole cart as one transaction” use this code instead:

<div title="Add to cart" role="button" tabindex="0" class="googlecart-add-button"></div>
</div>

<input name="item_name_1" type="hidden" value="Pohar"/>
<input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="google poharik"/>
<input name="item_quantity_1" type="hidden" value="1"/>
<input name="item_price_1" type="hidden" value="25.0"/>
<input name="item_currency_1" type="hidden" value="USD"/>
<input name="shopping-cart.items.item-1.merchant-private-item-data" id="pap_dx8vc2s5" type="hidden" value=""/>
<input name="charset" type="hidden" value="utf-8"/>
<input alt="Google Wallet"src="https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/buttons/buy.gif?merchant_id=243538163685636&w=117&h=48&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US" type="image"/>
</form>
....Note: If you are using option “Process whole cart as one transaction” use this code instead:
Example code:
....
<formaction="https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/243538163685636"id="BB_BuyButtonForm" method="post" name="BB_BuyButtonForm">
<input name="item_name_1" type="hidden" value="Pohar"/>
<input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="google poharik"/>
<input name="item_quantity_1" type="hidden" value="1"/>
<input name="item_price_1" type="hidden" value="25.0"/>
<input name="item_currency_1" type="hidden" value="USD"/>
<input name="
shopping-cart.merchant-private-data
"
id="pap_dx8vc2s5" type="hidden" value=""/>
<input name="charset" type="hidden" value="utf-8"/>
<input alt=""src="https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/buttons/buy.gif?merchant_id=243538163685636&w=117&h=48&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US"type="image"/>
</form>
....Finalizing integration
Next, after your buttons you need to add this code:
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/notifysale.php" type="text/javascript">
</script>
All set. Now you are ready to start tracking sales from your Google Wallet account.
Note: There is one more option named “Process whole cart as one transaction” in Google Checkout plugin setup. If you check this option, pap will register whole cart as one big transaction. In this case do not forget to use merchant-private-data instead of merchant-private-item-data to transmit custom value information to PAP.
Every Google Wallet user should contact Google checkout team at checkout-api-support@google.com and request to whitelist their domain. Otherwise the tracking will not work.
