Square Payment Module for Zen Cart [Support Thread]

[mvstudio]

Quick question.
In the previous version I was able to see in admin/orders.php a detail of the sale, which included the fee squareup charged for the transaction, quite useful for bookkeeping to process all the sales for the day from one screen. Is it possible to bring that feature back?

Thanks.

Anyone had a chance to peruse the proposed changes for the Square API and the ability to sell in decimal quantities? Looks like beta is up and finalization is 12 June.

Something we need to plan for?

Are you saying Square does not/will not currently accept fractional units/decimal units?

I had only tested our Square account using integer units and am getting ready to disable our merchant account & enable Square to see how the fees worked out in the real world test.

90% of our products are sold in tenth ounce increments.

I don't recall having any trouble with fractional quantities. Hmmmm...

Having an issue, found out when a customer tried to make a purchase. "The provided OAuth access token has expired. You must renew the access token via the Renew Access Token endpoint".

As far as I can tell, you should be able to do this through the Square payment module in the admin panel, but I don't see any buttons or functions to do that. I'm also on 0.97 so I'm not sure what's going on.

And now I had a payment go through with no issues. I'm not sure what's going on here...

You may need to set up a CRON job on your server to renew the token every three days or so. There's instructions in the README.html file in the mod package

Automatic Token Refreshing via cron
This is optional. For low-traffic stores, this is recommended.

In the initial setup, you clicked that "green button" to activate the module by setting what's called a Refresh Token. This token will expire in 45 days if no transactions are made. (30 days expiration, plus 15 days grace period.) After the 30 days you will see the green "Get Access Token" button again in your store Admin, and will need to click it to reactivate the module as you did during initial setup.

With regular transaction activity the token will refresh itself, but this can come at the expense of a brief delay for random customers. To avoid the possibility of such delays, or expiration due to inactivity, we recommend that you set up a "cron job" on your server to automatically handle token refreshes without interfering with customer checkout activity.

To set up the cron job, go to the cron settings in your website hosting company's control panel, and create a new task to run every 3 days at 1am. The command for the task will be:

php /home/user/your/path/to/wherever/is/square_handler.php

Again, if your token expires, Square will no longer show up during checkout for your customers. But you can fix it manually by clicking the green button to "login and authorize your account" as described in the Configuration section above.
