Please edit the plugin "plugins/hikashoppayment/googlecheckout/googlecheckout.php" and replace the code Code: if($order->order_shipping_price > 0 ) $data .= '<item><item-name>Order #'.$order->order_id.' - '.JText::_('HIKASHOP_SHIPPING').' </item-name><item-description></item-description><unit-price currency="'.$this->currency->currency_code.'">'.$order->order_shipping_price.'</unit-price><quantity>1</quantity></item>'; By: Code: $shipping_price = 0.0; if(!empty($order->order_shipping_price)) { $shipping_price = $order->order_shipping_price; if(!empty($order->order_shipping_tax)) $shipping_price -= $order->order_shipping_tax; } if($shipping_price > 0 ) $data .= '<item><item-name>Order #'.$order->order_id.' - '.JText::_('HIKASHOP_SHIPPING').' </item-name><item-description></item-description><unit-price currency="'.$currency->currency_code.'">'.$shipping_price.'</unit-price><quantity>1</quantity></item>'; At this moment, the shipping price which will be send to google will be the price without taxes.
