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

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

THATS IT!!!

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 :censored: 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
addons.oscommerce.com/info/5628

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

ok here are the files as i have them, open zip and read the readme file thanks!

Serge-

I like the ideas you have going here.

It is good to support the standard ZC checkout process with Google Checkout (similar to PayPal IPN) as well as provide ability to click GC buttons on both the login and shop cart pages (similar to PayPal Express).

Ropu has stated he would like to support the same but much refactoring of the code would be required to do it correctly.

I assume you are applying latest code changes to a GC mod version previously released by Ropu? If so which previous version of the GC mod have you integrated/tested your latest modifications?

Do you have a public site where your modifications are working and can be demo'd or tested?

Thanks for any info.

Woody

hi,

this works completely independent of the zencart google checkout module, you do not need to have it installed, however, you have to have a google checkout account. it simply uses the custom payment form method to submit information to google...the version of zencart that i have this on is 1.3.7

yes, it's working on http://www.sebronco.com

the only known bug is that it doesn't display item multiples, ie if someone ordered 5 of some product...i will fix this soon (just didn't have time). it's not a big bug, ive been using the code for over a year with no problems.

i know this is advertisement, but please checkout http://www.buyverify.com,
it's a free product search engine, uses froogle feed...trying to get that site going...thanks!

Now I understand why it did not work for me.
I am running 1.3.8a Have many issues and both templates Apple-Zen and Cherry Zen. did some modifications and works partially. Also you CAN NOT have in google account setting both Google check out and this modification. Otherwise will pop up and error on Google account.
The reason is or either your account will receive Google Checkout Payments or single Item Payments according to Google.
This modification is a Single Payment Button modified and grabbing the cart information, in which Google TOS (Term of a Service) makes very clear they DO NOT WANT this.

http://checkout.google.com/seller/checkout_buttons.html

OS commerce people have abandoned too this modification and they also are concerned about Google consequences in modify the use of buttons badges.
Although I need this and love this idea and Serge helped a lot I have to give up too, do not like the idea of getting the account closed.
