[Support Thread] Nochex APC

[Carl]

So the previous nochex mod, available in archives section of downloads here at zencart no longer works?

Not used Nochex as yet, so cannot test for myself.

Sorry, I didnt intend to misslead, I have not tried it. I did conclude from reading that as the mod is now so old and that certain mods had to be done to make it work for 1.3.5. it is not reliable. Also looking at recent posts you do get that impression.
I am not a programmer, so like others here need a mod that will work without probs. The one in the demo seems to be that.

Thanks for info Carl, my comment not actually directed at you personally,
was just querying if anyone had tried old contribution with latest zencart
releases.

Hi there im new to this forum but this looks like a good place to start as ive just installed the nochex mod from the download section and it comes up with this error: 1146 Table 'fishkrib_zc1.zen_nochex_sessions' doesn't exist
in:
[delete from zen_nochex_sessions where session_id = '50eefc27c84bcaf363b90521f847fa3f']

So if anyone has any ideas let me know as i really want to use nochex when my site goes live.
Thanx guys/gals

WARNING! DO NOT USE NOCHEX PAYMENT SYSTEM. They take your money first then you have problems with intergration and they do not refund your money back. When you try get help they are not interested! They are frauds & cheats! There are much better and safer systems available in Zencart. You have been warned!

[Zappy2009]

Hello?? This is not SPAM!
NOCHEX ARE FRAUDS AND CHEATS, READ THE STORIES AND HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED?? IS THIS FORUM NOT FOR HELPING ZEN CART PEOPLE???
THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY BEFORE OPENING ACCOUNT AND THEN IF THERE IS A PROBLEM OR DOES NOT EVEN INTERGRATE. THEY WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY AND PUT THE PHONE DOWN??? HOW IS THAT GOOD BUSINESS?

PEOPLE MUST KNOW THERE ARE HONEST BETTER PAYMENT GATEWAYS! DO NOT USE NOCHEX!

Well, while you may have had a bad experience, and feel like you should tell the world about it, this website is not the place to do it, at least not in the manner you've chosen:

You created a new forum account TODAY, and then you dug up this and 2 other VERY OLD discussions about using Nochex ... and you spammed them all with your vehement "warning".

And now you're back again spamming those same threads to somehow legitimize your posts.

At the very least your conduct is out of order. Multiple posting of the same junk in multiple places all over the forum is considered bad form. Stop it now or your account will be suspended.


Letting people know about a bad experience is one thing. Spamming it to thousands who didn't ask to be told about it is quite another. That's why your posts were marked as spam.

Sorry to be heavy-handed, but ... if it's not addressed, then irritating behavior just contaminates the whole community.

I've been toiling with this all night and think I might have one working now.
I'd appreciate anyone who is willing, to test and play around with it.
It is now communicating with the Nochex checkout (which the existing one I had wasn't) and seems to be going OK. Haven't actually performed a live transaction yet only this minute finished it, so can't guarantee anything.

If you would like to try it, click and download the tiny .zip.

Any feedback, good or bad would be appreciated. I'll be fully testing it over the next day or so, if it works, it will be available to the community.

Excellent, thanks for that Hazel, I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

To the other: I believe the Nochex module in the archives is NOT an APC module, i.e. No callback to your site and no automatic confirmation of the payment. It'll behave just like a 'normal' Nochex payment.

Fingers crossed for hazels mod!

The existing NoChex module (ie. the 'old' one) works fine on zen 1.3.6 - my clients are using it on several shops (and the oldest shop is still on v 1.2.3)

It does confirm to the shop that a payment has been processed successfully, and it does initiate the 'checkout success' page and order in the shop/confirmation emails - although the version presently in the downloads section was corrupted last time I tried it (Jan 2006 - problem with some of the carriage returns being stripped out when it was uploaded, or something similar maybe - fixable though).

The 'new' NoChex APC currently has a file missing (or did have a few days ago) plus it doesn't pass the location of your header banner/logo for the payment page at NoChex as the existing mod does - although you can copy the code across from the existing mod quite easily. The confirmation emails from NoChex no longer display the delivery address (they used to in the older mod).

It's also missing the customer's 'phone number (which is now a required field on the new NoChex payment page) although apparently NoChex don't have a variable for that if you're using the 'Seller' account (the Merchant account has one) - bit of an omission on NoChex's part perhaps since the customer gets an error if they don't see/fill it in.

It also doesn't pass the postage (again, no variable, apparently) and it's difficult to get the cart description formatted properly at present (NoChex is ignoring the formatting codes - have emailed them).

The new APC module seems to give a bit more info on the customer's order page (similar to Paypal) - although I haven't been able to see it yet because the missing file prevents it displaying - and the payment page at NoChex is better laid out, otherwise I can't see much different between the old and new mod unless you're using a NoChex 'Merchant' account, when it seems to provide more variables and the possibility of feeding several shops into the same NoChex account (although beware, there's a large rolling retainer on the 'Merchant' account).

There's a working version of the 'old' NoChex module here:

(You'll also need the language file from the NoChex mod in the downloads section)
