Square Payment Module for Zen Cart [Support Thread]

Hello,

Thank you for this wonderful plugin. I have installed it and followed the instructions to the letter. I did a test purchase and it worked just fine with no errors given. The log folder was also error log free. What I have may not even be a real problem , but I just noticed something. When I login to my test buy customer account it shows 2 people logged in as a members. This can't be right since I am the only person logged in. Did i miss something during the install ? It shows up correctly in my payment options and works with the test sell.

I tried again a few minutes ago and didn't get that message again. I still just get returned without a request to authorize from Square. Where should I look for log files that might shed some light on this?

OK, I found what looks to be a logfile tied to the error. I've tweaked it just to hide the admin directory name. Looks like something to do with checking a version number?

No other idea? Is there a different way to get Square support with Zen Cart? If not is there a suggestion for a replacement for Zen Cart that will work?

This could be a problem...

Code:

---

60:SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

---

Are you using a self signed certificate for your SSL?
Have you tried running your website thru https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

That would only appear if you put a file named square_handler.php into the /includes/modules/payment directory. The system looks for the module files, and their corresponding matching filename for language file. That error message means you've got a module file present without a matching language file.
And in this situation you should not have a "square_handler.php" file in the /includes/modules/payment directory. It belongs in the root directory of your shop.

I'm guessing the whos-online tracker is still seeing that a separate session exists from a prior shopper. Or maybe it's reporting that you've got an admin session open? Usually inactive sessions get cleaned up automatically every 20 minutes.

But this has nothing to do with the Square module at all. The Square module doesn't change or add anything related to other visitor logins/sessions.

Is it possible to upgrade to a more current version of PHP? PHP 5.4 is really old: its last update was Sept 2015.

The normal flow is:
- Click green button
- it takes you to the Square site, asking for login if you're not already logged in. Presents an authorization prompt if not already authorized.
- returns you to your store admin
- If the "Access Token Needed" alert is still showing, press F5 to reload the admin page in your browser.

Is the directory you've been quoting (C:/Web Files/localuser/CHCG/Shop/) a local development PC? Or is it the live production server for your domain?
What browser/s are you doing this Admin / SquareLogin in?

Any logs generated by the module are stored with other error reports in the /logs/ folder as "myDebug-xxxxxxxx.log" filenames.

Let me try to cover everything, I have gotten closer though. The server is live, but not visible to the public yet. I'm using Firefox 59 and have tested with IE and Edge as well.

The cert is a Let's Encrypt cert. It seems like curl has problems with those even though no one else seems to. After using the test script for curl and putting a replacement cacert.pem file in the PHP environment, and upgrading the site to 5.6 the test script was able to run completely.

Once curl would work correctly the green button acted as it should and Square was active on the site.

I now find that I can add things to my cart, go through the checkout process until I get to the confirm my order where after I push the button it waits for a minute or two and then gives me a 500 - internal server error. A refresh of the page gives the warning about resending data the take me back to the payment information page with a "Unable to process payment due to a communications error. You may try again or contact us for assistance." notice.

Let me know where I can look for more info on fixing this.

Excellent. Glad the curl issue is sorted. And the SSL.

In web terms, a "500 Internal Server Error" is a general message that's generic publicly because being more specific could put your site at risk. The actual system details that caused the issue will be found in server logs. If the problem occurred at the Zen Cart level, then it will be logged in the /logs directory as myDebug-xxxxxx.log files. Will need to see those messages to understand better what's up.
