Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[ropu]

I agree that a bit more clarification in the readme of who should run /admin/htpasswd.php and who should run the provided tool on Ropu's site (and why the difference). And the readme should not include http:// to describe an absolute path.

Woody

thx woody!

the .htaccess satarted as a hack, later a tool and now part of the module distro.



this is why i still have it hosted in tools, because it can also be used by other non zencart merchants...

but all zencart merchants are encouraged to use the one that is provided in the module, because is easier and automatically detects the directory and creates the necessary files

My orders are showing up in the Customer Orders section and are listed as pending. When I log in to my sandbox account there are no orders there.

If I do https://www.mydomain.com/cart/google...nsehandler.php

I see the following:
Mon Apr 9 15:37:02 US Mountain Standard Time 2007:- Invalid

Is that causing the problem?
I'm in Michigan so the time should be eastern time; however, I do not see where to change it in the admin section.

Other than no orders showing up in my sandbox account everything else seems to be working great. I go through the order process and the confirmation email is sent to my test user.

Misc Information about my setup:

I am testing using the sandbox for googlecheckout with the latest versions of zen-cart and googlecheckout. (downloaded from Ropu's sig)

I have activated the sandbox account and set the Integration settings to the following:

API callback: https://www.mydomain.com/cart/google...nsehandler.php

Callback method: XML

Shopping cart post security checkbox is checked.

I do have SSL enabled.
I am on a shared windows server that has PHP4 and curl installed.
The MySQL 5 database is set to cache to the database.

Since I do not have the getallheaders function I had to comment out the security authentication checks. I did Ropu's recommendation of creating the .htaccess and .htpassword files.

I've checked for spaces in my merchant key and merchant ID and both look good. I got them from the sandbox account and double checked that I am not using my production keys.

hi

one thing, there is no need to comment the auth code, just enable 2. .htaccess Basic Authentication Mode with PHP over CGI?
from the admin UI in the google checkout moudule, and will be done automaticaly by the program

2. double check that ur orders arnet in the archive tab in sandbox

I posted earlier with a problem with google checkout

I upgraded my zen cart from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 and I also upgraded to the latest version of google checkout module.

My host runs php as cgi and I set up the htaccess files using the generator code supplied.

The problem is that when I place an order as a customer through google checkout I get an error screen that says "oops zencart has sent google a bad shopping cart."

When I go to my google checkout merchant account it in my integration issues it says " Duplicate shipping name Table Rate found."

In the xml there are 2 different lines that read

<flat-rate-shipping name="Table Rate">

I have not been able to find out what is causing this error. I have been looking through this thread for the last 2 days trying different suggestions but nothing seems to work.

Please help me

flat rates items are an issue right now

a fast solution is recommended,.

in the includes/modules/payment/googlechekout.php line 50

change this

    $this->shipping_support = array("flat", "item", "table",  'freeoptions', 'freeshipper', 'perweightunit', 'storepickup'); 

with

    $this->shipping_support = array(); 

this is a TEMPORAL fast solution, but not the best

it will do merchant callculation callback for flat rate shippings. the issue is in the creation of the cart, im working on it to fully support all flat rate shippings

I'm having the same problem, but I did successfully install the SSL certificate and have dedicated IP on shared host. When I run the Responsehandler Test for URL https://www.diamondsonthesolesofhers...nsehandler.php,
I get:
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:func(144):reason(134)

[FONT=Verdana]I'm not sure why this is because I have verified the integrity of the certificate in more than one browser.[/FONT]
The most peculiar thing though, is that if i test an order and enter a coupon code, it is now working almost, the coupon can now be applied (it couldn't verify before I had installed SSL) HOWEVER, there is no discount --> the discount remains at $0.00 even though I have it set up to take 20% off.

I tried creating more coupons to test with but get the same result everytime if i make the coupon based on % discount. If i make it based on $ off, I get this:
Invalid coupon code Retry
The minimum order total for this coupon is $40.00 (tester)

Incidentally, i'm using google-checkout-osc-v1.2RC3rev1 contribution for the coupon support - and got this from http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-oscommerce/

I also looked at error logs in the google merchant checkout account (at integration settings) but I am no longer getting errors there (I was when I didn't have the certificate)... and this point bring me back to my first note that responsehandler says there's a certificate problem... ??? something seems wrong with the script, Ropu.

Any ideas what I can do? ~thanks for your consideration

that issue is because of a proxy config in my srv, try to point to ur server with an HTTP address instead of an HTTPS

thx

Hi Ropu,

Welcome back...hope you had a nice vacation!

I wrote a couple of posts a few days ago, and Woody helped me out a bit, but I am still having the same problem - GCO does not give the UPS shipping rates and uses the default rates instead. My host is running PHP as CGI so I have created the ht files as indicated. I have set my API callback according to the instructions. Here is the error message I get:



Any suggestions to correct this would be appreciated. Thanks.

it seams that u have the wrong credentials!

try entering http://www.jay42.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php and put as user ur merchant id and password ur merchant key

if u cannot enter, u must re run the htaccess.php generator.

also some people reported that some hosting do not allow access to folders with 777 perms... have u turned back to original permission??

hope this helps

Hi ropu,

Just PM'd info below:

National and International Per Item Shipping
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=334

Basically the shipping "mod" above just includes the easy steps to create your own two basic flat rate/per-item Zen Cart shipping modules, one for shipping to USA addresses and one for all other addresses. Very simple in concept and implementation. The Zen Cart founders turned me on to the idea several years ago and I have employed ever since.

The idea is you set a different handling charge for domestic and international addresses. And then you add a per item shipping charge, which is also different for domestic and international addresses. It very well approximates the actual shipping costs for USPS Media Mail and USPS Air Mail services, without the need to log in to shipping provider for shipping estimates and third party shipping charges. Really saves on confusion for the customer and shop owner. It is only recommended for those shops shipping items of similar size, shape, packaging and value. In our case books and DVD's.

Hope this clarifies the need.

Woody

htx woody, i've seen it and working with it!

I did try the new release and I got this error:
>>
Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Invalid value for body of allowed-areas in checkout-shopping-cart/checkout-flow-support/merchant-checkout-flow-support/shipping-methods/merchant-calculated-shipping/address-filters: Must be a U.S. 2-letter postal code or state name
<<

I restored it back to the old version to at least have it online.

hi
this error must be that some of ur tax us zones has a not valid state code name.

please use http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/tools Decode Shopping Cart to see how ur cart is created, (or have a look in the integration section)

there u must find witch state is wrong (or empty, etC)

I regenerated my .htaccess and .htpasswd files today using only my sandbox merchant account and password, and set the CHMOD on my googlecheckout directory to 755. These actions eliminated the error message above and replaced it with this new one:

We timed out waiting for your server at http://www.Jay42.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php -- the error we got is: Read timed out Your server must respond faster to merchant calculation callback requests.

Am I getting warmer....or colder?

hi
try using Responsehandler Test

this looks like ur shipping provider timed out,

try using Responsehandler Test

this looks like ur shipping provider timed out,

Here's my results:

Time to response: 5.2493069171906 segs

Note: This script MUST response in less than 3 sec. so GC srv doesn't timeout.'

Any way to shorten response time?
