Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Linux]

Can someone please answer this question? In order to use GG checkout do you need ssl? Thanks!

According to the readme sandbox works without it, but production will require it..........

I've got Google Checkout working on my site (version 1.3.0.2) but have 1 question .... is it possible to change the size and background color of the google checkout button? I've searched through all the files and can't find the button properties referenced anywhere.

TIA

Does anyone know why the Google Checkout Button shows up when someone logs in and then it displays "not available for these items?" Is it necessary to have that button display for logins? Thanks.

I got google checkout to work once when i had a friend purchase a 1$ item but of course i started getting those api kickbacks and they haven't stopped.

I didn't do any modifications to the code except for 1 of the language files. The google checkout button does still show up on the shopping cart page when logged in (kind of pointless) but it doesn't affect any of the normal cart functions.

Hi guys, I will throw my 2cents in here to share where I am at this point......

Yes, it is working flawlessly, all but the result codes. The key is in the readme and install docs.....regarding chmoding 777 both logs, and using sandbox to test against (that doesn't require SSL, pretty sure that was your question yesterday.....)
The install doc points you to sandbox.google.com/sell to setup your sandbox (dummy) google acct. Then the callback API gets pointed to it in the zen setup. I setup a sandbox acct. with PayPal a few months ago to test another app talking to PayPal....it is a bit scarey at first, seems like you are setting up a *real* acct, but you aren't. YOU have to do this to confirm all your settings, OR your going to be shoving all to live google (not good) and any errors, it will clammer bigtime at you. Example, I gave the api callback the wrong path by accident the first time thru, google would'nt leave me alone, errors, blah, blah, blah.......

So
1. follow docs to the "T" they are well written, and a treasure trove of info, once I slowed down grabbed some coffee and read them......
You can NOT miss copying any files over (I did option A in the install, since mine is a fresh install) don't miss *any* or it won't work.
2. setup a sandbox acct. sandbox.google.com/sell
3. tell the zen setup side to go there, NOT live
4. this requires NO SSL
5. once happy, you will need SSL on the callback server for the live to work (that could be your problem now?)

Asside from all that, like i said, mine is working, ONLY thing I can't get figured is the state changes from revewing-charging-processing-shipping....I am seeing the logs populate with google info, but zen isn't doing a thing with them.........that was my orig. question........still no answer from the gurus........google? Dr. Byte? care to chime in?

If you get yours working, and your orders status takes the changes, lets talk again!

I have another question.

We want to use only Google Checkout for payment, but need to get rid of the ZC checkout button.

If Google is the only payment module installed, and one clicks the Zencart checkout button, Google Checkout is shown as the only option. If you go ahead through the ZC checkout, it seems to work, however, it never goes to Google Checkout, and never asks for a credit card. The customer may think everything is ok, but nothing is processed.

Is there a way to remove the ZC checkout button, and just have the Google Checkout button?

Thanks.

OK.........just noticed an update for this (ver 1.0.3) posted, grabbed it, installed, everything remains the same, however, all logging to response*.log stopped.

Double checked everything, reinstalled 1.0.2 and logging picked up.

So at least here on this one we be broke on ver 1.0.3

My setup:
zen 1.3.6
goog 1.0.3
