Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart 1.3.x (beta)
JS1Scuba,
For the benefit of other new users coming into the thread at this point, GCO Level 2 integration (which means Google's computers log onto your domain and adds the buyer to your Zen cart database and decrements the number of products remaining) requires principally 1) a valid Google checkout account with a confirmed bank account, 2) a dedicated SSL certificate which you purchased with a dedicated IP address, OR a shared certificate offered by your domain host (yes GCO can use a shared SSL), 3) correct and identical Merchant IDs and merchant Keys on your Google account integration page Zen-cart GCO admin page, 4) you must successfully create the .htaccess file for the zen googlecheckout directory (this will fail if you don't change permissions to 777 for your googlecheckout directory) and 5) a couple of other settings on the Google account side and Zen-cart side need to be set.
Most of what needs to be done is in the Please-Readme file that came with the GCO module.
In answer to your question, login to your googlecheckout account and under [settings] [integration]
The API call URL will be either:
a) if using your domain shared SSL certificate (if they have one) will be something like (ask your domain host tech support for the first part):
https://[domainhost&server][/~yourdomainhostaccountname][/zencartshopsubdirectory if you created one during install]/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php
2) if using bought your own Dedicated SSL Certificate (which I think also means you need to have your website on Dedicated IP address which you pay for in higher monthly fees) will be something like:
https://[yourwebsite.com][/zencartshopsubdirectory if you created one during install]/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php
Note that these API call back directories ARE DIFFERENT than the "absolute directory to google checkout" used to create the htaccess file described below
In your Google account integration panel, set Notification as XML
select API version 2.0 (it works, I did not try higher versions)
on the zen-cart side:
htaccess Basic Authentication Mode: False
Select Merchant Calculation Mode of Operation: https
These settings worked dandy for me with zen v1.3.8a and GCO v1.4.7.
For the benefit of others, a lot of people I think have trouble with creating the encoded .htaccess file in the googlecheckout directory. You create this file by running the script by typing in your address bar http://yourdomain.com[/zencart-subdirectory-ifyou-created-one]/[admindirectoryname]/htaccess.php). Make sure you had already set permission to 777 for the googlecheckout directory. When running this script, your absolute directory is probably "home/[domainuserid-no-tilde]/[publicdirectoryname][zencart directory if you created one]/googlecheckout"
For security reasons, delete the htaccess.php file when you have successfully set up the htaccess file and things are working.
Good luck.

Had a chance to install in 1.3.9h and works great in sandbox and live.
There might be issues with recent changes do to goggles changes through the years since this mod hasn't been updated since Dec 26 2007, but so far so good. It is important to do option B install if you have a lot of mods and payments already installed, otherwise option A worked great from me.
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart 1.3.x (beta)
Still wondering if anyone has any input on getting the button to show.
Anyone???
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart 1.3.x (beta)
This module looks like a pain to install after viewing the INSTALLATION file. Any chance this will be included by default in the next release of Zen-Cart?:blink:
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart 1.3.x (beta)
Google checkout works when a purchase is made through my site, I used the sandbox and I got all the emails and processed it through the checkout at google.
But when a purchase is made through Google I'm getting failure messeges. Their extended help had no further info on this error

Now the API was at 2.2 which I just changed to 2.0 and I will see if that helps.

Tabbed Products Pro seems to be incompatible. I haven't been able to fix it myself and no one at the TPP thread can claim success in getting it to work with GC (the TPP mod seems to be dead - no support)

TPP is "dead" because no one in the community can help you with YOUR issue??? That's a LOT of an exaggeration.. Here's another thought.. No one has an answer to your specific issue because THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO SHARE! That doesn't make TPP a dead module as you seem hell bent on declaring it as.. It just means no one had the answer to YOUR question..:no: Sheesh!!!
For the record, TPP v1.07 has NO FILES IN COMMON with the Google Checkout v1.4.7. So it's hard to say how a conflict between these two modules could exist in the first place. This may be why no-one has posted a response to your question in the TPP thread..
Re: Google Checkout module for Zen Cart 1.3.x (beta)
Is there another way to test the responsehandler.php, or does anyone know if google will confirm or reissue merchant id. Mine matches what is on my google page but can't log into responsehandler.php if I type in the codes myself. I also get bad user name or password
Sandbox woks fine.
