Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I just installed zencart.

Installed Google Checkout.

I only have UPS enabled.

I have PayPal, Authorize.net, and Google Checkout.

When I test with Google Checkout, shipping prices in UPS only shows $1 for EVERY shipping method.

PayPal and Authorize.net shipping prices update accordingly, and works fine through the zencart shopping cart.

PLEASE HELP!

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

Does your server run PHP over CGI? You need to contact your host and ask them this question first off... Then post back here when you know.

I use 1and1 Professional Linux.

I do believe they use PHP over CGI. Yes.

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

OK, it sounds like that's the problem then....

In your admin payment modules when setting up GC did you notice this part:

.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.

False
True (SET TO TRUE)

When you click the here link in admin, it will take you to a page which asks for your GC details and generates .htaccess and .htpasswd files and puts them in your GC directory.. (make sure your googlecheckout driectory is CHMOD 777 before running this so it can save the files... then just set it back when finished.

Also, you need to ensure that the https://URL TO YOUR RESPONSE HANDLER is specified in the API Callback URL section at https://checkout.google.com/sell/settings?section=Integration

All of the above is assuming that you've already generated and uploaded your own shipping_methods.php file?!

Glad you got it working so easy... GC is not so easy to install... well done!

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I have an issue where Google Checkout will not display as a checkout option at checkout_payment.

Everything seems to be set up correctly, and other payment modules appear and work correctly.

Could my problem be a result of this PHP over CGI question?

The settings in Admin are as follows:

GoogleCheckout

v1.4.7

Enable GoogleCheckout Module
True

Select Mode of Operation
https://checkout.google.com/

Production Merchant ID

What if the server is not running PHP over CGI and this problem still exists?

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

If you're not running php over cgi then (SET TO FASLE) and you won't need to configure .htaccess and .htpasswd files so ignore that step and delete them from your server.

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

Our server is not running PHP over CGI.

Google Checkout does not receive the shipping information.

We do no have UPS enabled. We use Per Unit perweight for shipping.

We have set that Admin setting to FALSE

So .htaccess and .htpasswd files would be preventing the shipping data from posting to Google Checkout. Therefore I need to delete those files from the googlecheckout folder. Do I have that correctly?

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I would say that .htaccess and .htpasswd would possibly prevent your responsehandler from working as it'll be configured as PHP over CGI. Don't delete them, just rename them to .htaccess.old and .htpasswd.old.

Also, set to FALSE in admin area.

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I just scanned https://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47318&page=315 GC support thread and I'm not certain, but the issue might be your shipping module and GC compatibility. I'm sure I read somewhere that GC doesn't work with per unit weight module, but I can't find it again.

Look through the GC thread above and/or post a new question there asking if it is compatible with GC.

I am not finding .htaccess or .htpasswd in the googlecheckout folder.

Would it be somewhere else?

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

No, that's where they'd be.

I'm starting to think your problem is more likely outlined in my 2nd post above, re: compatibility with GC and Unit Shipping Module.

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

My problem is slightly different in that GC was working just fine before we moved the websites to a new server - now all shipping is $1.00 for those types of shipping we have specified.

As far as I remember, I didn't have to do anything with that .htacess section.

Also, how do I know what the API callback is so it is listed within the client's google checkout account?

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I do want to add that there is ONE google checkout account, but at least 3 zencarts (with 2 more being added) ...

And, again, this worked prior to the site move from one server to another ... the servers are identical, so that isn't the issue.

If the API is supposed to be https://www.domain.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php ... how was I able to do 3 stores and it work?

I'm lost LOL.

Re: Help - Google Checkout not updating shipping price

I have installed google checkout and I'm using real time shipping calculation. It shows me $1 for UPS. Any reason why ?
