Hi Guys,
This question may have been answered, and I tried searching for the answer in the forums but couldnt find an answer to my problem. My problem is that GoogleCheckout option is not appearing on checkout. What could be the problem? Any ideas where I should check to fix this problem?

I setup google checkout, I set up the htpasswd and htaccess. I have SSL. But still sales don't transfer back to zen cart (they do go through) and shipping passes through correctly.
Am I missing something?

Hi All,
I've read through a few pages of this forum and I am curious about a couple of things. I run multiple sites on a shared SSL from my hosting company. Like all(i would think) users, i am always interested in making the purchasing process easier for my customers, which is why this mod interests me. With products listed on google shopping, having the google checkout would be a big benefit, but here are the questions.....
1) I see it is written for 1.38a... is it compatible with 1.39e? If partially, to what extent will it function?
2) A confusing part of this topic to me has been that when a customer purchases with google checkout, it appears that the sale does not reflect on zen-cart? Am i reading this incorrectly or does it simply act like an abandoned cart and go away?
2a) if the customer chooses the google checkout option on zen-cart the order "should" show up as a completed order and the payment info would come from your google merchant account. Is this correct?
2b) if a customer purchases from the google shopping area using google checkout, what happens to the order???? Is it emailed to you? Is the information transferred to zen-cart somehow? How does this work????
I know, I'm confused, but any insights would be appreciated.

1. It works fine with Zen Cart 1.3.9f you just need to make sure that you compare and merge changes with the files that are affected. You also need to apply a minor modification that I previously posted to get this working correctly.Quote:

2a. Yes, it will come across the Zen Cart admin side with a status of google processing if everything is fine, otherwise it uses a different status. You can also set things up so your customers receive login credential to login to Zen Cart.
2b. As long as you're using the same Google Checkout account, things are posted back to Zen Cart. If you send someone a Google Checkout invoice, it comes back to Zen Cart admin side as a digital purchase.
Hope this helps.
Ok, I think I found the little mod you was referring to, if it is the one about "define Session_block_spiders, false" in the PHP code of /googleckeckout/responsehandler.php ... Hopefully that was the item you was talking about.
And if i'm understanding things correctly, since i am running other mods lilke the google base feeder, xml site map generator, easypopulate and such, i should treat this as an upgrade and manually edit all of the files with the code listed in the installation documentation??? If so, that all seems basic enough.... Is there anything else I should be concerned or cautious about?
thanks in advance,
Nelson
(i wouldnt ask so many questions normally but some of the instructions are a bit grey and this feed is very wandering!)
You're on the right track. If you install and have issues, then post your issues here on the forum and we'll provide support.Quote:

Client has one store where 99% of the inventory is just one of each. So there are items in the store that was sold via GoogleCheckout but are still showing as for sale in the Zencart.
Anyway to have GC orders decrease the inventory in Zencart somehow?
I'm running into a problem with Google Checkout.
I'm using 1.3.9f with Super Orders and Local Sales Tax. I'm running test transactions on Sandbox. And encountering the following problem:
- A customer clicks on Google Checkout's cart button and is taken to GC for checkout.
- The GC Checkout process concludes with the order being made in Google Checkout.
- The order does not appear anywhere in ZenCart ACP.
- The "Return to ...' link takes customer back to checkout_success where you can see, the cart is still in tact and not processed.
Can anyone help?
PS> I managed to make a workaround for Local Sales Tax mod so tax is not a problem.
An update to the above.Quote:

Everyone who is having these issues of "ZenCart not posting the shopping cart", needs to go to their Google Checkout panel and under tools, visit Integration Console. (This applies to both Sandbox and Production.) When you go to the console, you will see a slew of errors and warnings that Google Checkout is trying to inform you about.
After going about this, I am continually seeing HTTP 503 error messages that look like this:
[FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]We encountered an error trying to access your server at http://THENAMEOFMYSITE.COM/googleche...nsehandler.php -- the error we got is Send failed with code: 503. [/FONT][/FONT]
Question, has anyone figured out how to fix these 503 error messages?
Secondly, when configuring in GoogleCheckout's Integration settings are we supposed to use XML or HTML pairs. (This wasn't really discussed in the instructions.)
