Google Checkout: Offering Multiple Options when Adding to Cart

0

I'm using Google Checkout with a Merchant Account and I'm having difficulty with the Add to Cart code when I try to have multiple options for one product.

Specifically, I want to sell **Paint** and give customers two options: **Size** (5-gallon, gallon, quart) and **Color** (100s of colors) and only use one Add to Cart button:

**Paint**      **Size**    **Color**    **Add to Cart**

Is this possible? Or do I need to have three Add to Cart buttons?

**Paint**      **5-gallon**    **Color**    **Add to Cart**
**Paint**      **gallon**    **Color**    **Add to Cart**
**Paint**      **Quart**    **Color**    **Add to Cart**

Thanks,
Thomas Pauly

For the best user experience, you may want to build your cart yourself (which would then allow for alternate user interface, such as a drop down for tin size, or a colour picker to choose available shades) - you can then use the XML API to transmit the nice version of the cart to Google.

Look at the source code for the Google Checkout demo below. It shows how to specify options using drop-downs, radio buttons, checboxes.
