Google Checkout Mod for Zen Cart (NEW) -- Quick GC Button

[serge111]

GOOGLE CHECKOUT MOD - places google checkout button on step 2 out of 3 on the zencart checkout. It gives google checkout the
total value and description of the purchase, thus eliminating the need for google to calculate tax and shipping (and eliminating all the errors that go along with that).
This is to go around the google checkout bug that screws up calculating shipping on zen cart purchases.

Another good thing is that you don't need to have google checkout enabled in zencart, this method simply gives information straight to your google checkout account.

THIS IS A BETA VERSION SO I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT

hi serge111,
do I still have to have cURL on my server? My host says that they just upgraded their Cpanel and no longer support cURL or libcURL. If I still need it can I use PHP/cURL? When you say that you dont have to have google checkout enabled, do you still have to have the mod (beta 1.4.1) installed?
Thanks,
Sean

hi sean,

you just need to have a regular php/zen cart installation. you don't need to have google checkout installed or enabled in zencart, but you do need valid working google checkout account. (general account). all this does is use a custom google checkout form and submits the price and products names from the zen cart order.

today found a small bug...doesn't display # of multiple purchases...will fix soon...for example if someone buys 5 of the same item, it doesn't show '5' in the purchase notes...only discovered this today after many purchases so it's not super duper important but i will fix soon...just need to find where zencart keeps that #...

Hi there,
This is a cool idea better than the google checkout module. Although works fine for me, is not included in the payment option and keeps looping back, which is no nice. Also like you state messing with the shipping and tax tables.

However i tried to implement this and did not work
1) Moved the left column to the right and the right was pushed down below
2) in the file tpl_module_order_totals.php

I have the following


<?php
/**
* Module Template
*
* @package templateSystem
* @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
* @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
* @version $Id: tpl_modules_order_totals.php 2993 2006-02-08 07:14:52Z birdbrain $
*/
?>
<?php
/**
* Displays order-totals modules' output
*/
for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) { ?>
<div id="<?php echo str_replace('_', '', $GLOBALS[$class]->code); ?>">
<div class="totalBox larger forward"><?php echo $GLOBALS[$class]->output[$i]['text']; ?></div>
<div class="lineTitle larger forward"><?php echo $GLOBALS[$class]->output[$i]['title']; ?></div>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php } ?>




Which differs from the one provided by you.

Any help here?

I would love to implement this rather the google checkout

Sincerely
Marcelo

Ok neighbour I am gonna try see what happens

Ok neighbour I am gonna try see what happens

sorry I tried many times I give up is not working
- check put page shows my payment methods and close to checkout button the Google "badge" hence is not as located as payment options. chick on Google check out image goes no where and in fact pops up a warning that no payment has been selected.
Also in the script you declare a sandbox account which the "badge" does not work

<input type="image" name="Google Checkout" alt="Fast checkout through Google" src="http://sandbox.google.com/checkout/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=421499532774289&w=180&h=4 6&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US"
height="46" width="180"/>

1) My knowledge of ht ml and PHP is intermediate/ Novice. I just follow instruction pretty well, that's it. so I am sorry if I am dub on this.
2) good if someone (if not done alredy ) can adapt this module to Zen-Cart
addons.oscommerce.com/info/5157
3) Is a pain in the for us when processing Priority Handling, Gift Wrapping, Free shipping, Wholesale prices, and other discounts and coupons with Google as Check out Module. Also my people haddetected that if the customers sign up for an account with us, look around and come back again, they go to Google and select to have their email address "hidden" to the merchant, the return information creates a duplicate account.
4) Also I Would love to have s contribution Amazon Payments, which still in beta test will be a pain for PayPoopoo ) aka PayEnemy

that sandbox part is just an image...so it should be fine...i tried makin an account with your store and i didn't even see the GC button on the 2 of 3 page of checkout...can you upload everything and then email me [email protected] and i will take a look at your page...btw your store looks nice

also check out my signature links - you can list your products for free there with a froogle feed...you can produce a froogle feed for zencart by downloading and installing an "easy populate" mod

[serge111]
