Google Checkout with ColdFusion

This article is aimed at webmasters whose sites are on shared ColdFusion 6.1 or lower hosting plans, in which they are unable to install custom tags. The reason Google Checkout remains difficult for that group is because the CFHMAC ColdFusion Custom Tag is required to be able to encrypt the shopping cart's contents before sending it to Google. I have come up with a somewhat decent workaround, which requies that PHP be installed on the server (which most shared ColdFusion plans do offer).
