Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

I can't get any shipping to work the way I want. Basically I want to charge $5 for shipping on the first item, $2 each additional item.

Table rate didn't work, it charge $5 regardless of how many items. I did set table rate to per item calculation. However during Google Checkout, it says Table: Vary by Weight/Price.

Here are my settings:

Table Rate

Enable Table Method
True

Shipping Table
1:5.00,2:7.00,3:9.00,4:11.00, 5:13.00,6:15.00,7:17.00,8:19.00, 9:21.00,10:23.00,11:25.00,12:27.00, 13:29.00,14:31.00,15:33.00,16:35.00

Table Method
item

Handling Fee
0

Tax Class
--none--

Tax Basis
Shipping

Shipping Zone
--none--

Sort Order
0

Then I figured maybe I could work around this by doing per item and setting a handling fee. It should work basically the same:

Per Item

Enable Item Shipping
True

Shipping Cost
2.00

Handling Fee
3

Tax Class
--none--

Tax Basis
Shipping

Shipping Zone
--none--

Sort Order
0

However all this does is make shipping $3.00 regardless of the number of items. Has anyone got this working, and did you have to do anything special? Am I missing something?

I set up a test store on which I try new things before trying them on my live store. I installed the GoogleCheckout module and I think everything is working OK.

After logging on to my test store today I noticed there were 10 new customers. I was surprised as this is a new test store no one knows about it and there aren't any links to it.
After clicking on the new customers' details I realized these were the same customers who had made payments for eBay and Yahoo auctions using GoogleCheckout.

So my question is, will a new account be created in my ZC store for anyone that sends me a GoogleCheckout payment?
If that's the case, I guess a separate GoogleCheckout account is needed for each separate store one might have. Does anyone know if one is allowed to have more than one seller account?

Also, does anyone if the customers received notification of the accounts created in the test store?

Thanks.

Gave up on 1.2RC4 and have gone back to 1.0.4r which works fine other than the fact that I have to manually update the stock on the event of a sale.

Must say I am very disappointed by the level of support for releases .. Documentation is apalling and the engineering is subpar.

My 2 cents.

Any way to integrate the normal checkout with GCO or remove the normal checkout button all together? I want to try to use GCO exclusively, but one of two things happens:

Add to cart> regular checkout button>payment method says google checkout>confirm order> THE END....but of course it never goes to gco, no payment has really been made, no errors, looks like a successful transaction.

or

Customer sees the GCO button and just uses that. That's fine, but there still seem to be issues for a lot of people that orders don't show up in admin, which I'm having problems with too.

If you only use GCO, having that regular checkout button basically leads to nowhere for customers. Clicking it doesn't eventually lead anyone to GCO my only option. It doesn't tell the customer there is no other payment method and to go back. Is there any way to either get rid of it, or integrate the GCO button into that process?

I don't think you should use GCO only since you will limit your customer base to US only.

About this GCO plug-in, is there anyway to use my Zone rates shipping fee for this GC?

Thanks, but I'll deal the international shipping issue later. I'm sure they'll get that working eventually.

I'm not the only one that is trying to do this, someone started a new thread on it, but I'm asking about it here to keep it organized.

Another suggested fix:

If you are using the urchin tracker and have SSL enabled, the following code (around line 548 in gcheckout.php) will cause a cert warning, possibly driving off some customers:

Code:

---

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

---

This should probably be replaced with:

Code:

---

<script src="<?php echo ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']=='443') ? 'https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js' : 'http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js'; ?>" type="text/javascript">

---

However, given that google's urchin.js is currently broken under firefox, I suggest following the suggestion here:
http://giantrobot.co.nz/gr/2006/11/2...r-not-defined/

In that case, you'd host a copy of urchin.js on your own server and refer to it in the src instead.

In following a bit more with Zen conventions its even better to switch it to:

PHP Code:

---

<script src="' . <?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? 'https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js' : 'http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js' ); ?> . '" type="text/javascript">

Ropu,
So Do I just wait for a new release now or am I missing something? I wanted to go live offering GCO and PP EC. But I guess I will just have to move forward with only PP EC:cry:

Blum, thats true, but multisocket should not be included in gcheckout.php
