Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)
Hi everyone,
This is Jacob from the Google Checkout team.
I'd like to let you know that we just released Google Checkout module for Zen Cart. This module provides Level 2 implementation of Google Checkout with Zen Cart, enabling you to provide Google Checkout to buyers and process orders through your admin UI.
This project is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-zencart where you can find the latest release at any time.
Thanks,
Jacob
UPDATE:
GOOGLE HAS ABANDONED AND NO LONGER SUPPORTS THEIR GOOGLE CHECKOUT ADDON
UPDATE:
As of July 2012 a community member has picked up where Google left off. Please report any issues/ideas to: https://github.com/mattclements/Goog...Zencart/issues

Everyone, you can also download the module from http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=314
It runs on PHP with libcurl installed. However, it does not require DOM or DOMXML (libxml) libraries installed.
Thanks,
Jacob
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released

I mean the requirements google said required php 4
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released
Thank you for providing this. I look forward to implementing it into our sites. I took a look at the download file and although it is clear (somewhat) how to install it, it is not the most user friendly way to present it and is definetly a different way of approaching it.
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, but am grateful that this is being provided by Google. I'm just stating that if the intent is to encourage as many shops as possible to implement and use google checkout, the presentation of it may scare the more novice/intermediate users away. The majority of shop owners / creators are not your typical programmers.
Anyways, thanks again!
Mike

Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released
I tried installing it but the patch script hangs. :-(
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released
ok....so I figured out to install it w/o hanging. This is the command I used with the patch in the root of the store where admin is a sub directory
patch -p1 </eStore/google-checkout-zencart.patch
With version 1.3.5 I got errors where sections of the file did not merge. It does say that it is for version 1.3.0. - so shame on me...I could go merge the sections that failed manually but I don't really see the profit.
patch is a Linux utility used to patch the Linux kernel among other things. It's pretty nifty as it uses a file comparison utility called diff to compare the files and the patch script tells whether to add, subtract, or overwrite code blocks at specified line numbers. I am grateful to google for releasing this but I really wish it was released in standard format..this really slows me down so I will not plan on integrating it right now until it is easier to install.
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released
I'm waiting to hear back from the contributor about their intentions regarding releasing a simpler-to-install version of their code.
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart released
Im still wondering if it works with php 5.
the last info I got from google was that it was for php4 only and that libxml was required
