Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

php 5.2.17
RapidSSL

GCO 1.4.7
htaccess files created
settings: production mode, htaccess auth false, https, send notifications from zen cart false.

The site is using quite a few add ons, but the one I should point out is Super Orders 3.0 - I did edit admin/orders.php, but does it make sense if using super orders?
However, I tried uninstalling SO but orders still didn't show in admin, everything was the same.

I'm open to ANY suggestions. :)

OK, I finally got it to work! Took me a while, but it was worth it.

The problem was actually with my hosting. The instructions never mentioned anything about mod_security server settings. The only thing I could see is in my GCO Merchant Account under Tools -> Integration Console: there was a 406 Not Acceptable error. After a lot of googling and my numerous attempts to fix it, I decided to contact my host and see if they can do something about it. It took them about 5 minutes to pinpoint the issue, changed the settings for my account's mod_security and now orders show up in admin. :clap::clap::clap:

Let's put aside the fact I was working on it for 3 days and took them 5 minutes to fix it... :cry:

Anyway - I have another q: when a customer checks out with GCO, should an account be created automatically for the customer? Also, why do I always get a timeout page after returning from successful purchase (set to return to checkout_success)?

Ok my initial install, I didn't have any other addons, so I just did a straight copy of the files. Google Checkout was then an option for a payment module to install. I did this.
Currently, when you go to check out an item it takes you through a continuous loop around the checkout process inside of Zen Cart and never really sends you to Google Checkout. I selected API Version 2.0 because I didn't know which one ZenCart 1.3.9h would use. Could this be the problem ?

GCO starts on your shopping cart page and never enters the regular Zen Cart's checkout procedure. If you go to regular checkout and select gco there, it will take you back to the shopping cart page. If you installed the module correctly, you should have a GCO button right under the standard checkout button on your shopping cart page.

Ok, yes the google checkout option, it was just a continuous loop of stuff that sent you back to the same page.

As far as installing the module, it said I just copy the files, end of story.

What did I miss ?

Also whats the difference between integrating a shopping cart and an order processing system ? What is my zen-cart template more likely to want ?

Did you rename includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE in the original package? Do you have the GCO button on your shopping cart page?

I need to change that path, and do a copy over. I havent done that yet, but no I dont have a GCO button, it just says go to checkout, and when you click it, and it asks all your information if you don't have an account to sign into, you fill that out and it sends you right back to the cart. Where you would click go to checkout again, and fill it out, and it would send you back to the cart.

Yeah, you obviously didn't install the module properly. You have to rename YOUR_TEMPLATE to your template's name and then tpl_shopping_cart_default.php will either be over-written or be used as an override. If you made any changes to tpl_shopping_cart_default.php, make sure you carefully merge the new file with the old one.

Using ZC1.3.9h and trying to get google checkout to work. Google checkout appears under modules-payments but when I select it and then click the edit button, nothing happens - It doesnt show me the list of Gcheckout vars. I've followed the directions the directions to a T so far - Any pointers?

Thanks,
-Dave

Directions followed:
INSTALLATION NOTES
==================
1. Follow instructions contained in the INSTALLATION file.
2. Verify the installation from the Admin site and selecting MODULES->PAYMENTS
and checking if Google Checkout is listed as a payment option.
3. Set the file attribute to 777 for /googlecheckout/logs/response_error.log and
/googlecheckout/logs/response_message.log files.
4. Go to http://<url-site-url>/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php
If you get a 'Invalid or not supported Message', 'Fail to get HTTP Authentication',
or a request for User and Password, go to the next section.
If you get any errors, you must correct all errors before proceeding.
Refer to the troubleshooting section below or go to the support forum for help.


SETUP ON ADMIN UI
=================
Select and install the Google Checkout payment module. The following are some
of the fields you can update:

0. Installed GC module version

Did you rename your admin directory before uploading?
Also, try uploading again in binary mode.

Did you rename your admin directory before uploading?
Also, try uploading again in binary mode.

Ok it ends up that Google Checkout is an option, but then you click proceed and it takes you back to the cart, instead of the place where you enter a credit card number or google checkout account info.

Can you give me your URL? You can PM me if you don't want to show it here.

How can we make google checkout work ? I need to make it work.

Ok here is a quote I had missed:

GCO starts on your shopping cart page and never enters the regular Zen Cart's checkout procedure. If you go to regular checkout and select gco there, it will take you back to the shopping cart page. If you installed the module correctly, you should have a GCO button right under the standard checkout button on your shopping cart page.


-------------------


I do not have GCO as an option on my shopping cart page, what could that be due to ?

You didn't upload includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php or you didn't upload it correctly.

But you have to realize that it's quite hard to guess around without the actual URL...

I have Google Checkout installed and it seems to be working.
Its been a long time since I used GC so I'm not sure if it installed completely.

I only have the GC option until I sign into the store and then its gone. I don't have a problem with that but was wondering if that's normal?

Also, I can't seem to find the url or what file GC should be pointed to in the Merchant Integration on Google setup page.

Thanks.

:ohmy: OMG! Is anyone having any luck with GCO? I am new to Zen-Cart and I planned on using GCO instead of a merchant account from the merchant services provider I use for my brick & morter business. GCO seemed to be a better deal.

Is it that hard to work with?

Maybe I should re-consider!

Maybe u should. GCO is OK, but it didn't get the wings it was supposed to have. The idea was to have a very popular payment gateway owned by Google, but it's not nearly as popular as they had intended it to be. PayPal is still #1 in the whole world.

For example, when you're pointing someone to search for something, you're gonna say "go and google it". You won't hear anyone say "go yahoo it" or "go bing it" "go altavista it". :smile: The same is with internet payments - "you can paypal me". Did you ever hear "you can GCO me" ? :D

I have GCO working with 1.3.9h, but it's not easy to set it up. Not easy at all. Took me about 3 days to get everything running and I consider myself somewhat advanced with Zen Cart. On the other hand, PayPal is integrated and it'll take you 5 minutes to set it up and have the site running and accepting PayPal. Keep in mind that 5 minutes is if you're color-blind, have one eye missing, sitting in a wheel-chair and typing with your toes because you have no arms... :cool:

I have no idea, works just fine on my site. Show up no matter if you're logged in or a guest... The only problem I'm having (and I'm not even sure if it's a problem or is it normal) is that after successful purchase, a customer account is not created... The order shows up in admin, but w/o account.

If your store is pretty new and you don’t have a lot of modules installed yet just do a clean install of GCO and it will work just fine. Don’t use Basic Authentication, and make sure the path to “responsehandler.php” inside your Google Checkout Integration is correct.
I would not make GCO the only payment processor because it is very time sensitive, and that will mess with your shipping charges. Plus, Google like Paypal is not a Bank, and don’t follow the same rules as banks, so beware.
I set the default shipping amounts to $100 or more, so that buyers will know if Google is messing up and can choose another processor to pay for their purchases. GCO has always from the day it was released had a problem with timing and will sometime not show the shipping that was shown to the buyer in your store. If a customer tries to use GCO while the server is being backed up, or its responding too slow GCO will fail. So, make sure buyer's have another option.

GCO never turned into the "next big thing" it was supposed to be.. Google themselves has withdrawn support for the GCO mod which is why the currently available codebase has not been updated in YEARS..

In my experience your customer is king and they don't care why YOU think Google checkout SHOULD be better.. They only know that they want their checkout experience to be SMOOTH.. There are far too many little tweaks, workarounds and such required with GCO IMHO.. It only takes one part of the checkout transaction to go wrong to lose a customer, and that is an unacceptable risk for a small shop owner..

Just recently the ONLY client I have who INSISTED on GCO finally asked me to disable it.. She upgraded her PayPal account to Payments Pro and saw what a big difference accepting credit cards directly on her site (versus routing clients to PayPals site) makes in the number of completed transactions..

As a result she's dumping GCO.. Completed transactions are what matters to customers. They certainly are not interested in what SHOULD be better.. They kust want to make they're purchase in as troublefree a msnner possible..

Accepting credit card payments on her site means she is responsible for their data, and anything that happens to it. She will also have to make sure her site is in compliance with the requirements of each card she accepts.

With GCO, and Paypal Express the responsibility is with Google and Paypal not the store owner.

I’m not saying she shouldn’t accept payments on her site, but she should also think about the possibility of having to notify all current and past customers that their credit card information could have been compromised if her store if ever hacked. That would destroy the stores reputation and possible her’s as well.

Even with the risks I'd do it, but I'd use a real Merchant Account, like Authorize.net, or LinkPoint.

These are simply things to consider as a business owner, they are NOT reasons to not directly accept credit card payments..

And what exactly about PayPal Website Payments Pro service makes it NOT a real merchant service?? PayPal IPN, PayPal Express, 2CO, & Google Checkout are all 3rd party processors. (The purchase transaction is completed on the 3rd party processors site)

Authorize.net, LinkPoint and PayPal PayFlow are all gateway's which both require that the store owner obtain a compatible merchant account. "PayPal's Website Payments Pro combines a gateway and merchant account into a single solution" Certainly from the CUSTOMER's POV (the one that counts) they LOOK and BEHAVE like the same thing..

I get it.. you don't like PayPal.. cool.. Not liking PayPal doesn't mean that ALL of the issues reported here on a regular basis with GCO are NON issues.. They are a BIG deal.. Loss of sales because of a payment processor failure means a sales loss that is often IMPOSSIBLE to recover.. (Customers don't like having to "keep trying" just to make a purchase -- they will move on to a site with less difficulties..)

For my customer it was a matter of the continued loss of sales because of the GCO mod's shortcomings being unacceptable. Whether she decided on Authorize.net or PayPal Website Payments Pro, or LinkPoint (which BTW doesn't seem to be a supported anymore by the Zen Cart team under "Recommended Services"), the fact is processing the payment transaction directly on her site has resulted in no more lost sales due to a failed checkout..

I get what people are saying about GCO for Zen not being supported by Google - that is truly a shame.

However, why does it work properly in 1.3.8 and then horribly in 1.3.9?

As already stated, there has been no change in Google's code in the last x-amount of time.

It’s not that I don’t like Paypal. I don’t trust Paypal. I do trust that their module will work better than GCO.
I don’t trust that their service will be better than GCO, 2CO, or any of the other 3rd party processors.

You’re right your client isn’t storing credit card data, but her site is where its being collected. The customer doesn’t know, or care what happens to the data. They just expect that it is safe. I’m not saying there will be a problem, but if there is a problem, to the customer the store is where it happened.

My point was with GCO, and some Paypal options the entire payment process happens someplace else. If there is a problem with the credit card information it has nothing to do with the store.

And because YOU don't trust PayPal YOU are okay with a module that is no longer supported by Google and does not work reliably or consistently (and this thread contains ample proof of this).

While you seem okay with the potential for lost sales from failed GCO transactions, my point was (and still is) that for many shop owners and their customers this is an unacceptable standard. In the case of my client, she lost clients who could not be convinced to come back to shop in a store where the checkout experience was unreliable EVEN IF there were alternate payment options. (Customers don't like having to "keep trying" just to make a purchase -- they will move on to a site with less difficulties..) I imagine that shop owners like EILabels who've inquired in this thread about the reliability of the GCO module have the very same concerns, and may not be willing to put up with a payment module that CLEARLY has unresolved issues and is NO LONGER SUPPORTED by Google..

The customer also cares that the transaction will be a smooth unencumbered process..

The store owner is not any LESS responsible for the transaction because it is processed by a 3rd party vendor.. Nor are they any MORE repsonsible because it is processed through a merchant account.. The agreements store owners sign off on when they sign up for a 3rd party processor or a merchant account bear this out.. The store owner is ALWAYS responsible for transactions processed in their stores, and through the eyes of the client this is DEFINITELY the case..

This is most certainly not true. If there is a problem with the transaction, the store owner may be held responsible and the transaction reversed by the third party processor. In the case of a fraudulent transaction, the storeowner will surely be charged back for any reversals due to fraud.. and the store owner will certainly be charged back in the case of a customer dispute if the dispute is found to be in the favor of the customer.. This can happen with GCO as well as any other 3rd party processor..

As I stated in my previous reply, this is not true at all.. If a problem with a transaction processed through a 3rd party processor ocurrs, the 3rd party processor may indeed hold the shop owner responsible for problem transactions processed through their merchant accounts.. The shop owner is not given a free ride on this simply because a 3rd party processor processed the transaction.. Transactional disputes (such as disputes and other chargebacks) can be (and usually are) pushed back to the store owner. (agreements that store owners enter into when using a 3rd party processor usually includes language that the shop owner may be held responsible for any problem transactions)

Here's some additional data on this..

Quote:

---

With a true merchant account, you, the merchant, apply with a processing bank (usually through a sales agent) for the right to have a merchant account dedicated solely to your business. The merchant account is for your business alone and you are responsible for it in every way. You’re also responsible for providing a gateway to it, as this is not included with the account. (While some processing companies or sales agents will bundle a gateway with the merchant account for convenience, they’re separate entities and you’re usually free to use any gateway that you prefer). Basically, your merchant account is a direct account with Visa and Mastercard (and American Express and Discover Card, should you choose to accept payments from their members), so you must abide by their rules.

A third-party processor allows businesses and individuals to accept credit card payments through its own merchant account. Instead of applying directly through a processing bank, you apply through the third-party processor, which uses its own set of criteria to decide whether or not you’ll be eligible to use their services — the third party processor’s bank doesn’t even know you exist! A payment gateway of some form is automatically included as you must process all sales through the third-party processor’s system. The third-party processor holds all the cards, as they make all the rules by which you must abide, and they will hold you responsible for how your transactions affect their merchant account (the one that they’re allowing you to share).

What is a payment gateway?

A payment gateway is a service that authorizes credit card payments and processes them securely with a user’s merchant account. Often, a merchant account and payment gateway are set up in one process through the same company.
What is a “third-party payment processor”?

A third-party processor such as PayPal lets you accept online payments without a merchant account of your own. Instead, they let you use their merchant account under their own terms of service, usually with very little setup required.

A true merchant account is just that, a "true" merchant account. You, the merchant, apply with a processing bank, usually through a sales agent, to have the right to have a merchant account dedicated solely to your business. The merchant account is for your business alone and you are responsible for it in every way. You will also be responsible for providing a gateway as it is not included with the merchant account (some processing companies or sales agents will have one bundled with their merchant account but technically they are separate and you are usually free to use your gateway of choice). Basically, your merchant account is direct with Visa and MasterCard (and American Express and Discover Card if you choose to accept their members' cards) and you must abide by their rules.


A third party processor allows your business, or even you as an individual, to use their merchant account to accept credit card payments. You apply with the third party processor and they make the decision based on their own set of criteria as to whether or not you will be allowed to use their services. The third party processor's bank doesn't even know you exist. A form of a payment gateway is automatically included as you must process all sales through their system. The third party processor holds all of the cards as they make all of the rules that you must obey. They are held responsible for the merchant they are allowing you to share through them and they hold you responsible for how your transactions affect it.

Bringing this back on topic, my opinion is that if you want a payment module that is well supported and reliable, GCO is certainly not that at all.. balihr I think stated it best...

There are other payment options for Zen Cart that are much easier to setup, and certainly don't come with the baggage of problematic transactions that GCO has.. If providing your customer with an unencumbered checkout experience is important, then you may want to reconsider GCO..

I'd say the biggest reasons are the HUGE differences between the 1.3.8 codebase and the 1.3.9 codebase.. The GCO code was written based on Zen Cart 1.3.8, and to my knowledge there have been NO updates to GCO to resolve any Zen Cart 1.3.9 issues. The last update for the GCO module available in the free downloads is Dec 26 2007 (v1.4.7). Given that Google withdrew support for GCO for Zen Cart before the 1.3.9 release, I'd say this is the biggest reason WHY GCO works horribly in Zen Cart 1.3.9.

One last thought.. Another option to consider is to hire a developer to update the GCO code to correct the issues and Zen Cart 1.3.9 compatibility.. Doesn't appear that a community hero is going to be donating an updated version of this module to the free downloads anytime soon..

Anyone who does then inherits an implied responsibility of supporting this thing. Updating mods and uploading them frequently creates problems for the developer. I know this for a fact!

The mod only requires a few changes to update for 1.3.9h by the way and they are all in this verrrrrrrry long thread.

This is very true, and I'm sure this is the BIGGEST reason why no one has volunteered to submit an update to this mod..

BTW, I only suggested paying a developer to make the necessary updates because not everyone is confident in their abilities to make updates themselves.. If they want this mod they may have to consider paying someone to make the updates for them..

I have installed google checkout for my zen cart 1.3.9h. Everything seems to be working fine except that when someone add products to its cart the shipping only shows $1. I have GoogleCheckout Carrier Calculated Shipping FALSE. I am using Zone rate shipping calculation based on weight.
How can I get google to get the shipping rates from zen cart just like paypal gets. I tried to read too many threads/posts but so far can not get any clear response. Any suggestion will be helpful. THANKS

My submit button disappeared. I am running, Zen Cart 1.3.9h and Googlecheckout 1.4.7.

So i find a item, i click on add to cart the next screen is missing the googlecheckout button. When i view source the last thing i see is
<!-- * BEGIN GOOGLE CHECKOUT * -->
and then nothing else.

Anyhelp is appreciated. The site im referencing is celluradio.com/shop

so am i right in thinking we cant use a mod to use google checkout?

I want to open my merchant account in US I know it is outside from my domicile country. So, I want to hire one agent who provides me proper knowledge about merchant account

Hi everyone, I recently moved zencart from one host to another and Google Checkout stopped working for me. I can actually still place an order, it is received by Google Checkout, I can see it there and deal with it, I even see in my logs the message_response log shows all the activity but the order never appears in my admin UI. I can't find any errors anywhere - what could i be missing, how could changing hosts prevent the order from getting to my orders db?

BTW - I have other payments methods, they remain working, it is just GOogle checkout that stopped. I believe google checkout doesn't place the order in Zencart until after Google Checkout processes it in the response-handler, is this correct?

Thanks!

swerb,

I have exactly the same problem, GC was working perfectly for over two years, then on the morning of 31st Oct, it stopped adding orders into the database, the orders are luckily in the GC system, but no record of them in ZenCart..

I checked mechant id, key, sandbox id, key, i checked no server permissions have been changed, checked all the files exist.

everything looks great, but it isn't saving to the database..

Anyone any ideas

There appears to be a bug in the current version of the GC plugin which occurs when there are multiple countries set up in Zencart resulting in VAT details for the first country in the list being omitted from the data sent to Google.

The error is located around line 685 in googlecheckout/gcheckout.php where the line

$tax_result->MoveNext();

should appear at the end of the loop - around line 700 - to move onto the next data row rather than at the beginning where it results in the first data row being skipped.

The missing VAT data means Google doesn't add VAT to the order in the checkout. It just displays the line "(includes VAT £0.00)"

I hope this helps others. It's taken several me days to track this down!

I'm using v1.3.9h, I have SSL

In trying to processes an order with google I get

It gives me this in sandbox also.

My debug log gives me 2 logs each time -

I don't know what else to check, paypal works fine.

Anyone get the email from Google about the change from Google CheckOut to Google Wallet????

Should I be paranoid? :censored:

Just when I got it working 100% I think they are doing away with the functionality?

Thinking of doing away with Google CheckO-... Errr. I mean Wallet totally.

Wondering the same thing :lamo:

This was in the email:

At this time, there's no action required from you. In early 2012, we’ll ask merchants, organizations and developers who use Google Checkout to sell items or collect donations to change any website text that talks about Google Checkout to Google Wallet. No additional integration or other technical updates will be necessary. If you use Google Checkout through a third party shopping cart, your cart provider will make any necessary changes.

Hi all,
I have decided to activly develop this from now on, seen as Google don't seem to be taking much interest.

I have forked the code to GitHub: https://github.com/mattclements/Goog...ut-for-Zencart and have applied my update of v1.4.8

Please let me know if you have any issues, either on this thread, or by adding the issue to GitHub (preferred) here: https://github.com/mattclements/Goog...Zencart/issues

Ok i have everything in its place however, when i test my checkout it shows everything except shipping and taxes only the actual amount only.

When i click on checkout (not the Google checkout) the next page, page 2 it gives me the shipping charge. Page 3 it shows me the tax, total and shipping and lets me choose how i want to pay and it does not show Google checkout in a tick box only money order or PayPal.

My question is how do i get the Google checkout on my website to have tax and shipping added when a customer checks out?

I am using ZC V 1.3.9H
Once again is there a way for Google-checkout to pick up page 2 of the shipping charge page. Thank you in advance

It's in sandbox mode only, I don't have payments with GC in Live mode yet.

version 1.4.8. :oops::oops:

Do your logfiles contain any errors? Please could you post the output of the following files:

Code:

---

/googlecheckout/logs/response_error.log
/googlecheckout/logs/response_message.log

---

I can't 100% remember what Sandbox does in terms of ordering, It could well be that the order is not processed/no emails sent/items still in the cart as the order hasn't actually been processed - I will double check.

Well, these errors were in sanbdox, I haven't any messages in these logs currently.

I will need wait until a live payment is done for check if all is ok.

Thanks for all.:clap::clap:

Just check that those log-files are chmod'ed to allow writing if you do have any issues - else you will get failures and no logged output...

Sorry - No I haven't had chance to have a look into this for you yet - and was simply asking questions to try and probe further into another issue.

I will have a look at this asap for you.

I have a commercial shipping module installed called Advanced Shipper. Everything else picks it up but Google checkout. I want it to pick up the 2 page of the checkout since that is where the shipping cost for the item the customer are buying is drawn from. I have no problem with PayPal picking up the shipping cost at all. If you need more information let me know.

More information on the above. the first page is actually the (Your Shopping Cart Contents) The next page Step 1 of 4 - Shipping Method show the address and shipping cost. The next page Step 2 of 4 - Payment Method: shows Billing Address, Your Total, Discount Coupon, Payment Method. I want Google checkout to be able to pick up either the the 1 step or the 2 step so my shipping cost can be shown on the Google checkout page. How can I add Google checkout to the Step 2 Payment Method page like PayPal to offer it there to? Thank you for all your help.

Hi All,

first of all I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place, I have searched everywhere but I could not find the solution.

if any of you can guide me to the solution of the following problem I will be very grateful.

so, I have setup a coupon code in my zen cart and the FREE shipping option is NOT checked. Google appears to accept it but the refunded amount is a green $0.00.

you can see the attached image.

any help would be great!

thanks!

You are not alone. Same here. It accepts the coupon, but it doesn't reduce the price. It just has it as $0.00.

When payment is made (Live Mode), customer get mails only directly from Google Checkout, but not from ZenCart, this is correct, right?

So, this option doesn't work even if is set to TRUE

Also send notifications with Zencart


When Charge a order, or set to Shipped Google Checkout notify customer, ZenCart not notify to user.

Thanks. :clap::clap::clap:

Hi All,
Does any one have instruction on how to update from 1.4.7 to 1.4.9?

I checked the UPGRADE txt file in the zip package but it seems as it has information on how to upgrade from older versions to 1.4.7. but no information on how to upgrade from 1.4.7 to 1.4.9.

Thanks

I see that it is working for you, but there are many out there who are having issues with googlechekout.

Can anybody give any idea why is this happening?

Site have SSL.?

Did you put correct credentials for live and sandbox?

log folder is writeable?

And most important :smartalec:

HTML Code:

---

.htaccess Basic Authentication Mode
Your site Site in installed with PHP over CGI?
This configuration will disable PHP Basic Authentication that is NOT compatible with CGI used in the responsehandler.php to validate Google Checkout messages.
If setted True you MUST configure your .htaccess files here.

1-Yes, My site has an SSL.
2-The credentials are correct... GC works fine, only the coupon code is making an issue.
3- I am not sure where to locate the log folder :(
4-.htaccess has the following for GC:

#AuthName "Google checkout Basic Authentication"
#AuthType Basic
#AuthUserFile /home/content/98/6507445/html/googlecheckout/.htpasswd
#require valid-user

Any Idea what might be wrong?

thanks!

In your .htaccess file - remove the # symbols before each line.
Also does ordering in Live mode work in general (and therefore is it just coupons causing the issue)?

You can just copy the files over the top of the existing files - no changes have been made to the database etc, only very small tweaks have been made to the code.

Yeh, the mod is working fine overall. It just the coupon code that does not work.. I removed the # and nothing changed..

one more thing, when I put the coupon amount as a fixed $ amount then it works but when it is a % then it is not deducted from the amount.

Can anyone tell me why Google is changing my UPPERCASE coupon codes to lowercase when I create them? I create all my coupon codes in Zen Cart in upper case, and advertise them that way. Why would Google do this? Is it a known bug?

I did search for an answer but the only post returned is the monstrous 378 page topic, and I don't have time to go through all of that, sorry.

can anybody give me any new suggestions? I really need to fix this issue before Christmas... I would really appreciate any help because we are losing many customers because this coupon issue..

would this work for you in the mean time?

Use the coupons as a dollar amount off and set Coupon Minimum Order amounts.

Make several coupon values based on minimum order increments.

Have googlecheckout 1.4.7, ZC 1.3.8h.

Just noticed a lot of log entries saying:
[09-Dec-2011 21:06:56] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php:338) in .../googlecheckout/library/googleresponse.php on line 135

The checkout seems to be working. I did find the following on the internet, at: http://groups.google.com/group/googl...ad0fbaac825c50 - the line numbers are a bit off, but does this sound like it's an issue with ZC's googlecheckout?

Quote:

For Godaddy users:
Using the sample code, around line of 157 in googleresponse.php
comment out line:
// $this->SendOKStatus();
of the SendAck function.

Reason: Godaddy's curl proxy already sets the "HTTP/1.0 200 OK"
headers and trying to replace them ends in an error. This causes
google to never gets the "notification-acknowledgment" causing resends and all sorts of havock.

I have 2 shipping methods that seem to cause a problem with the google checkout.

This error shows underneath google checkout.
"There are multiple shipping options selected and they use different shipping tax tables or some dont use tax tables Error: Shipping Methods not configured
rfq (ignored)
tableukmail (ignored)"

Do these need to be configured somewhere?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it is not working. Whenever I enter the coupon code it says Invalid coupon code or sometimes it says your order has not reached the minimum order limit.

This issues is really hurting our business as many customers are angry that our coupon codes are not working thinking we are fooling them..

just installed and have a similar issue. i'm using the sandbox mode.

on our current site, we get about 1 GC order a month (compared to about 1500 total), so abandoning GC isn't that big of a deal, but i'd like to have the option there anyway.

You can also do a thread search so you can search through the thread to see if what you want is in here without having to go through all 300+ pages..

Thanks for the tip...

I tried today and coupon code entered as uppercase works. After 3 feedback emails, maybe someone listened? :laugh:

I found the Shipping Generator and created the shipping file and I can get it working for my table modes but I also use a Request For Quote module which greys out the GC button if it is enabled.

Any ideas ????

Currently using ZC1.39 but will be upgrading to 1.5 in the near future.

I use Ceon's Advanced Shipper module and am interested in adding Google Checkout to my site since some folks don't care for PayPal.

Will this add-on work with Advanced Shipper and will I need to ditch Paypal?

It will not work with Ceon's Advanced Shipper module not yet anyway. mattclements was suppose to modify this module to get it to work with Ceon's Advanced Shipper. Haven't heard from him since.

Hi, when a payment is from United Kingdom, there is a error when try click on customer's name, is not displayed, return nothing because country id was not saved.

address_book = entry_country_id (country code is added like 0 should be 222 according to table countries)

orders = customers_country, delivery_country, billing_country display like GB instead of United kingdom. (US instead United States too.)

bummer.....

I am experiencing an issue with usps first class international using google checkout. This seems to have started since the change in the usps code. Here is the section for it in my shipping_methods

Code:

---

'international_types' =>
                                      array(

With the USPS module it is now called First Class Mail Int Lrg Env, First Class Mail Int Parcel no longer just first class mail int...

I am looking at upgrading form 1.4.7 to 1.4.9 however the upgrade file lists no instructions past 1.4.7 Is there a chance this version is causing this?

I just saw this. . . Do you have a list of what files were changed so I can just replace those without going through each one with winmerge? I dont want to break anything else I am am having an issue with usps first class international

Hi all,

Been reading through the posts but my eyes are watery now! I am working on www.watsonpublishers.com. Installed everything, when I place an order, can click through to Google, make payment which is taken, get a confirmation e-mail of order, but when I click to return to the site, I get "Whoops! Your session has expired." I have set up the API call back URL, what am I missing here? Also no order showing in Zen Cart... :frusty:

Can you reach your response handler?

Hi,

Thanks for the response. When I didn't hear from anyone, I kept messing about with the files and somehow managed to fix it, don't know what I have done but all is working now and orders are completing as it should. :clap:

I have Google checkout 1.4.7 installed on Zen Cart 1.3.9h and am having a problem. The entire process seems to work as GC gets the order and charges for it, but it does not post the order in the admin for processing. It shows an error message of 400 and I have to process the order manually from GC. Any help on this?

Any word on this?

Hello there,
Error 400 is a Bad Request, this could be due to a misconfigured setup. Please could you either reply, PM, or email (http://www.mattclements.co.uk/contact/) me with:

• URL of your Shopping Cart
• responsehandler.php location (should be /googlecheckout/responsehandler.php)
• Web Server details (Linux/Windows, Apache/IIS/LightHTTP, PHP Version etc)

Once I have those details I can assist further.

saw-wheat!!!

I recently upgraded to 1.5 and I'm using GCO 1.47. It's not working - there's no shipping option and check-out can't proceed. I plan on digging in, but I'm not finding anyone posting that they are using GCO and 1.5, so maybe it isn't ready yet?

If the mod does not say that the supported version of Zen Cart is v1.5, then it's NOT v1.5 compatible..

Thanks - that's a bit of a hole in Zen Cart though! We've had Google Checkout for years.

I will take a look at this asap for you - I have had reports from other developers that this module works correctly with v1.5.0, so I will test further and report back later today.

Regards,
Matt

I can confirm from further tests through my test site that Google Checkout works fully on ZC 1.5.0.

Please can you have a look at: https://checkout.google.com/sell/ and go to Tools > Integration Console

This will show any errors that Google Checkout had calling the Response Handler; If nothing recent is here checkout /googlecheckout/logs/response_error.log and /googlecheckout/logs/response_message.log to see if there is anything obvious there (you can always email me these logs/screenshots for me to have a look zencart [at] mattclements.co.uk).

Also have you tried to re-install the module since the installation of ZC 1.5.0 - Google Checkout overwrites some standard ZenCart files, and there is a chance that these ZC files have now been restored to their originals.

Regards,
Matt
