When i try to make the encrypsted .htpassword it says my password(merchant_key) is longer than 15 characters so it dosn't want to encrypt the file.
Also it asks me to remove
function HttpAuthentication($headers=null, $die=true)
But i can't find it anywhere.
ok, so i got the password encrypted, and setup the .htaccess and .htpsswd setup with the built in script. everything seems to be fine but when i go to responsehandler.php it still just prompts me for a user/pass.
Is this how it should be?
Yes. This just verifies that you have the right URL. You can't actually log in to anything from there.Quote:

No where during the google checkout process have I seen where a customer can enter a comment to the store owner. If a comment larger than 254 characters can't be made then zen cart isn't going to be sending an internal email notification.
I am being asked why this feature isn't working and the above is my only explanation.
Can anyone please confirm to me if this feature does work if configured correctly or simply does not work period?
Just to clarify, does that mean the google checkout is not useable if one doesn't fork over the dough for the SSL certificate? Because that would explain a whole lot why Paypal sucks but still has a huge market share for small vendors.Quote:

Also, there are levels of SSL certificates - which one is necessary for the use of google checkout?
domain/identity only...
organization...
extended...
GCO works with shared certificates. It seems most web hosts provide shared SSLs for free these days , so I would look into that option.Quote:

Google Checkout is not totally unusable without SSL. You can still get orders that accept GCO. And you can still get paid by GCO. You just don't get the order info automatically to your Admin screens. Instead, you get order notifications via email from Google. And you must log in to your GCO account to process the order statuses.Quote:

That sounds about right. You would get and email from Google Checkout. You would have to manually enter the sale info to your zen cart based on the gco info (to keep your inventory current). And Enter the sale status into your gco account.Quote:

Hi i have just installed Google checkout thinking it would be good to use it so people could leave seller ratings in my google shopping list thing.
However i have installed it to a v 1.3.9c zen cart, i have reward points, light box, PP Express and PP Web payments pro modules installed.
I cannot see any google checout option on my website and also all my customer email updates that i use to update from processing to dispatched are no longer being sent to customers.
Anyone got any ideas what is wrong?
I'm a bit confused as to how shipping works in GC :dontgetit
Do you set it up in your GC admin or in ZC admin?
I use a basic price based setup:
0-50 - 5.95
50.01 - 99 - 6.95
99.01 and up - free
Can someone point in the right direction!!
GC admin is inside zencart adminQuote:

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?
Matt
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.
Nelson
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:

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.

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.)
Coming back to this... managed to get this to FINALLY work.Quote:

We're using this module for ZenCart. GoogleCheckout is correctly pulling our merchant-calculated shipping rates from UPS. The UPS shipping options we have enabled are:
Next Day Air
2nd Day Air
Ground
When customers choose "GoogleCheckout" as their payment method, the "Next Day Air" shipping option is what pops up by default, which of course, is the most expensive.
MANY, MANY customers are not taking the time to review before clicking submit, thus, are paying Next Day Air, and getting angry with us for it. Sadly, it seems a majority of customers are simply not taking the time to review their order, and click on the dropdown selector and CHANGE their shipping method from the default "NExt Day Air" to "Ground" (or whatever).
As a result, now, we're paranoid every time we get a GoogleCheckout order that is "Next Day Air" and we assume the customer probably didn't intend that.
Is there any way to change the sort order or "default" payment method displayed on merchant-calculated shipping, so that the "Ground" option is the default one shown on GoogleCheckout?
Thanks in advance,
Fred
This also happens as I'm USPS and their Express Mail is automatically selected. As part of the "Express Checkout", GoogleCheckout automatically selects the FASTEST method of shipping, not necessarily the cheapest.Quote:

Move the options around so that they are in the order that you desire.
For example, my USPS Domestic portion looked this:
Then after switching it around:PHP Code:'EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail (1 - 2 days)',
'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail (2 - 5 days)',
'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail (2 - 3 days)',
This caused it to show FIRST CLASS first, then PRIORITY, then EXPRESS MAIL. Try this with your responsehandler.php file.PHP Code:'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail (2 - 5 days)',
'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail (2 - 3 days)',
'EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail (1 - 2 days)',
I'm truly in over my head with this google checkout thing.
zencart 1.3.8a
google checkout 1.4.7
I have an acct, I have sandbox, I even managed through the infamous tax rates issue. Now I'm on to the calculated shipping mess. The code has been added, and the shipping generator run (which is where I begin to experience problems)
The products I sell usually are sent USPS first class mail (under 13 oz, etc), and calculated by the USPS module by weight - so exact shipping. My first question is, because I have prowled this thread and there is some confusion on this matter, does google checkout handle USPS first class?
Second, can google checkout calculate a custom shipping cost for each package, based on weight, like the USPS module does? In addition to my main website, I list products on ecrater, which uses google checkout but you have to manually list the shipping cost per item; is that how google checkout functions in general or is that something specific to ecrater?
I've had 'google calculated shipping' on both true and false. I've altered the 'carrier calculated shipping configuration' numbers multiple times. I've also played with the 'default values for real time shipping rates'. Either I've just not hit on the right combo or I'm truly missing something.
I guess the main question is more about google checkout's shipping calculation capabilities, and if it can, how I can make that happen, becuase I'm failing miserably.
Thanks everyone.
I answered up in bold in your quoted text. Hope this helps.Quote:

I noticed that Google Merchant Center account to configure carrier calculated shipping options, it does not give First Class Shipping as an option, so I figured it not a supported carrier calculated shipping option. I found a confirmation of this at Google's developer guide for Googlecheckout at:
http://code.google.com/apis/checkout..._shipping-type
My workaround has been to offer free shipping on light items and factor the price of shipping into the price. I don't understand how retched's works, unless he is using a shipping table.
Also, the USPS updated its service names in January 2009, so make sure you are also using the latest USPS.php module.
Hi All,
When Google Checkout stores an order in the DB it's using the zone_code rather than the zone_name. This is only now a problem because we're using the USPS click n ship mod. Having it send US rather than United States is causing a problem.
I have been trough many many files and haven't figured it out yet; Please tell me how I can make GCO enter the zone_name into the orders table.
Thanks,
John
John,
Most of the references to zone_code are in gcheckout.php. However, looking at things, I wouldn't suggest changing it. You're very likely to break GCO. There are references and comparisons all over the place.
Perhaps you'd have an easier time putting an IF statement in the USPS module to swap United States for US (and any other countries you need). I'm sure someone could make a nice, elegant, table based solution too.
Good Luck!
Believe it or not, I've tried that with little success. It did carry over the United States but then left the rest of the info blank that was supposed to be "auto filled".
I'll give it a shot again later today.
Thanks,
John
Google Checkout was working fine until last night.
I use carrier calculated shipping.
This morning, all of my items indicate $1.00 shipping for all USA domestic and $0.00 for all International.
Anyone know the cause of this? Thank you in advance.
This means that your google checkout isn't reading the values of the calculated shipping and are referring to your $1.00 default values set up in the control panel for that module.Quote:

Installed Google Checkout for client this past weekend. GC Orders were "looping" back to cart when "confirm order" was clicked. I figured out the issue with that (was installed in wrong template). Reinstalled the files in proper template, I uninstalled and reinstalled the module, but now Google Checkout is no longer displaying as a checkout option.
Client is running 1.3.9.f, and latest version of Google Checkout Mod downloaded from this site.
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I did some searches already, but did not come up with an answer. If there was already a thread/post that would tell me how to fix, that would be fine as well.
Thank you in advance,

I have this same problem on a site I'm working on for someone. Shopping cart is still full even after order is processed by Google.
The server is NOT running PHP over CGI so the problem isn't with htaccess or setting this to true.
Anyone know what causes this?
I've installed this on a site for someone and I can't get it to calculate the shipping.
It's communicating with shipping_methods.php as it's showing the lowest shipping rate £2.03 for 1st class recorded and £3.99 for special delivery. These are the rates set for 0.1kg in each shipping module respectively.
The problem is that no matter what we add to the cart, Google Checkout seems to select the rate for the 0.1kg and ignores the actual weight of the items in cart.
Anyone any ideas what's causing this?
Using Royal Mail and Parcelforce modules which work perfectly well with other payment modules.
Hello again,
I'm reposting my query from a few days back as I've not yet received a response from anyone. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative.

Did you ever resolve this? Same issue here (although it is updating ZC admin) I'm getting the WHOOPS session timeout error after redirecting to store..
Is there an update for Google Checkout for v1.3.9F? :lookaroun
OK, Thanks. I'll have to put some shipping figures in the default boxes.Quote:

Guess I'll have to live with it for now.
Thanks again for the help. :smile:
Hopefully someone can help here. I've set up Google Checkout on a site for someone and everything works perfectly apart from the re-direct back to the store after successful order process.
What happens is, the user can go through checkout with google checkout and place the order and make payment, when this is confirmed in google checkout they click to return back to the store. However, on their return they get this message:
"Whoops! Your session has expired.
If you were placing an order, please login and your shopping cart will be restored. You may then go back to the checkout and complete your final purchases.
If you had completed an order and wish to review it, or had a download and wish to retrieve it, please go to your My Account page to view your order."
In the admin system of Google Checkout the order has been placed with google, and the order appears in Zen Cart admin.
However, when the customer returns to the Zen Cart store, their cart is still active and they're prompted with the error message above.
The store has a dedicated SSL.
Anyone know what can be causing this?
Another issue - when the shipping methods are passed from my store to GC - (Currently run a flat rate of 2.95 per order up to $29.00; anything over 29.00 gets free shipping. I also have USPS and UPS Merchant Calculated if someone wishes to use those services) the order of the methods is not what I want.
In the drop-down box on the GC page (assuming a 29.00 or more order), it displays this:
Flat Rate Shipping
Free Options
UPS Ground
UPS 2nd Day
USPS Priority Mail
USPS Express Mail
I want it to look like this in the drop-down box:
Free Options
Flat Rate Shipping
USPS Priority Mail
USPS Express Mail
UPS Ground
UPS 2nd Day
Basically, I want the cheapest options to show first. I've managed to get it displayed this way with the shipping estimator on my store checkout page, but cannot figure out how to do it on the Google Checkout page. Anyone know what file I would edit for this to happen?
Thank you in advance. :)
This is pretty much done by editing shipping_methods.php in your google_checkout folder and rearrange the code lines so that it appears in the order you want it.Quote:

I would HIGHLY recommend, if you have not done so already, check the cache folder on your server (if you are running 1.3.9.x) and see if you have any errors related to Google Checkout in there. This is the first place I'd start.
Google Checkout will run on 1.3.9.f, but you will need to manually enter the code in some of the files (this code is included in the instructions) instead of just uploading the files.
Best wishes,
Christopher
I tried that - changed the code lines and it does not work for me. But, Thank you for your help.Quote:

1.3.9f
new godaddy installer version
I hate the shipping setup in this module. Seriously why is there no documentation for using the various types of shipping that come with the cart vs the shipping setup on the google side in your merchant services? If you have any other checkout options you have to have the shipping calculated again anyway. So if carrier calculations are being done at the cart lvl and your default shipping data has been entered into the module half the time the system fails to pass the info. I set up the usps module in the cart to get shipping realtime. but the gco doesnt use these numbers and dies if its enabled. WTF. I had to go into my google account and create coresponding services to match my chosen shipping options then the whole thing worked... In this thread the shipping system has been and continues to baffle people, multiple people have played with it and I think that the shipping options need a new thread. IMHO we need better documentation as stated right out of the gate. This gco documentation sucks, plain and simple. Not to mention that they never did really say that this module was JUST EXPRESS CHECKOUT ONLY. (The other half of my dislike for it). Half my time setting the gco up the 1st time was before I realized it doesnt show up as a checkout option at all when istalled and functioning, Because if you just dump the files into a new installation it does show up as a checkout option but fails to function WTF. We need a better understanding of different methods of setting the cart up to work with the gco. Cover the basic to advanced options of adding the gco to the cart. This is a pain to install and configure when you have other modules running in this complex cart. Half the time if the usps realtime quotes module was running the gco was not (Greyed Out). wtf
Documents would be nice again. Until then I am not using gco ever again. Nor am I recommending it be used with the USPS realtime module. Open source without documentation, Where is your head ? And as for the type of checkout offered to me with the GCO, I do believe I am the one PAYING my 1.99% +.25 per transaction and I make the decision who is going to get it. Without better STORE OWNER support mine is NOT going to google. Thanks but No thanks...
I do not like this checkout module. If you can call it that. Its a pain to setup and get the real time cart module shipping option working without the proper documentation (can the post back be http? NO?) In googles defense they have techs standing by to access your shopping cart using the supplied passwords and fix the code from their end lol. Merchant services on the google side right?
Not even in the same ballpark as PayPal, 2checkout or authorize.net just to name a few. this tread is nearing 500 posts OMG. Can you say there are no answers in the documentation one more time. I would like to see a document that covers implementation of the gco into zen cart 1.3.9f with a spectial section dedicated to shipping methods both real time cart calulated. And I would like it Plainly stated that the GCO is not a checkout option. it really is GECO express checkout option ONLY. LMAO (GECO)... now I finaly know why they tried to call it GCO lol.
Hilarious.
:censored: Not happy with the zen cart / google checkout combo at this point. Maybe someone will add 95% of the faqs from this thread to the docs.
I set up the latest google checkout to zen cart v1.3.9f... I want to hit my head to the wall seriously. Just for the first few minutes I saw the google checkout button on shopping cart main page.. ( like paypal express checkout button) and then it disappeared! It caused the paypal button disappear too.. I disabled the google checkout module, my paypal express checkout button comes back.. I am so confused, don't know what to do. I really need to adapt this GC to my site. not as a radio button. on the shopping cart page, I should see the 3 options, go to checkout, paypal ex., google checkout.
any ideas? thank you guys...

got a question for you guys. i have google checkout on my site and people can checkout with it by using the google checkout button.
my question is though are orders that are paid for with google supposed to show up in the admin area. it shows 0 items being processed with google. also is there some way of using gift certificates or anything with it as you have to go through the normal checkout method for it to apply it which the bypasses google and makes it useless
If the orders aren't showing up in ZC after a customer completes a GoogleCheckout order, their order isn't being processed by ZC properly.Quote:

I used the shipping generator PROVIDED with google checkout. Where would there be another one??Quote:

I have google checkout installed and working, I only use UPS for shipping, but want to add USPS for military apo only. I have created a zone but it doesn't work with google and show a message USPS shipping is not configured. I tried to add USPS to shipping method php, that didn't help do you need special code for zone shipping?
Thank you
Post your shipping_methods.php code here so we can see how you've configured it. Did yo try the shipping method generator once you setup your zones in Zen Cart admin? Did the generator pick it up or did it fail there too?Quote:

If you're truly using zone as a shipping option you're going to need these two sections:
and this as part of your shipping method names otherwise it won't show up on GCO side.PHP Code:'zones' => array(
'domestic_types' =>
array(
'zones' => 'Zones Rates'
),
'international_types' =>
array(
'zones' => 'Zones Rates intl'
),
),
PHP Code:'zones' => 'Zones',
I think I am reading what you're trying to do wrong. By zone you mean a shipping zone as in location NOT shipping method? If that's what you're trying to do, then my last post is not necessary.Quote:

UPS does not ship to an APO, so I want to add usps with a zone only for apo address. So I went to location/taxes and created a zone with the military APO's. I can get a quote when I turn google off, but with google turned on and clicking checkout you get an error that the cart has sent information containing and error.
I tried this shipping method php but had the same problem.

Update...
USPS has updated their APO codes, once I edited them in "zones" everything seems to work using your update for the shipping methods. Thank you so much for your help. You can view them at the link below.
http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/usp...eviations.html
Sorry for not answering this sooner. Can you check your ZenCart Admin panel and tell me what the calculations are?Quote:

Not really sure if this affects Zen Cart shipping module or not (I haven't tested APO orders lately) but it's something worth checking into.Quote:

Thanks in advance,

Can you check your ZenCart Admin Panel > Modules > Payment > Google Checkout for the following option: .htaccess Basic Authentication Mode and please tell me if that is set to true or false. In addition, did you create the .htaccess and .htpasswd files for your /googlecheckout/ directory.
In the admin > modules > payment GCO htaccess is set to False. I have not used htpassword on the GCO dir, should I?
Thanks,
John
I have set up the htaccess and password files, I have set the auth mode in gco in the admin and it's still not working. I've gone through the docs for install and I don't think I've missed anything.
Thanks,
John
This is likely best in another thread but. . . Paypal isn't responding properly either.
From the Top: this is zc1.3.9g, using ultimate seo urls, fec, gco and paypal.
GCO wont report back at all, paypal sends confirmation to zc but the return landing page is checkout&fecaction=null. I understand that the paypal account needs to know the return address of the response handler.
This site is a dev site and the current live site is attached to the pp account so I cant switch it.
Why all of the problems with the return after payment?
Thanks a Bunch,
John
Right now they're all set to zero (I'm assuming you mean the google checkout Carrier Calculator Shipping Configuration). The default was $1 on each shipping choice, which didn't work. I changed everything I wasn't using to zero and left the others at $1; didn't work. Then I changed my shipping choices to the amounts mentioned in the google shipping calculator where I got the code; still didn't work. As a last ditch effort, I shifted everything to zero with the same result.Quote:

Hello,
I'm unable to use coupons and gift certificates with GC.
I've read and searched but there seems to be only two of us with this problem - and no answer yet.
I've installed Zen Cart 1.3.8 and GC 1.4.7 with PHP5
GC works from the Shopping Cart page, the User Registration Page BUT it doesn't appear as an option on the main_page=checkout_payment page so I'm unable to use GC with coupons and gift certificates.
Reading through others' issues, it seems that this is an uncommon problem. Can anyone assist?
Regards,
Ben
I tried to ask this before but I don't think I phrased the question correctly. I use the USPS shipping module which calculates exact shipping. I've been playing around with google checkout (mock purchases, sandbox) and notice that no matter how much I add to the cart, the shipping charges remain the same. They do not increase. Am I missing something, or is that just the way google checkout shipping works?
Also, the only way the module works if I have 'google checkout carrier calculated shipping' set to false. If set to 'true' I get an 'oops' error.

Therefore, the only way this mod works is by using the button provided on the Checkout Page. A customer will NOT return to your cart to complete the checkout and Google Checkout will NOT appear as an option on checkout_payment because of this.Quote:

Hello,
My site offers customers free shipping when their order value reaches $50. So in the admin-shipping, I set up the free shipping options only when the order value reaches $50.
But when I use the google checkout, I find the free shipping options show up in the drop-down menu even the order is way below $50.
How to fix this problem? my site is www.best4future.com
