Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[weddingpearls]

I can't get this module to work.

Anyone out there who is willing to help me do this?

Did you submit an order again after making the adjustments recommended above? Callback Method should be XML (not HTML).

Yes the callback method is set to xml. I cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

Unfortunately, we are going to have to go back to 1.0.4r because this version of Google Checkout is just NOT worthy of production environment. The merchant calculation is absolutely worthless because it works about 30% of the time (even when stripped down).

Another issue with Merchant calculation is if you disable some shipping option in googlecheckout to speed things up like UPS then you can no longer have UPS as an option on the regular Zen Cart side because it generates and error.

It's really too bad!

When I tried to update customer order in Zen Cart this is the error I received: Error 400: Bad request. The parameters passed to the service did not match as expected. The exact error is returned in the XML response.

I finally did figure out the mismatch between the google status and ZC status. Have everything working now!

Can you please post how and what you did? Thanks!

From another thread I came to know that GooGle Checkout option is not available on Page 2 of regular Checkout. Does this mean that once a customer logs into my site then they cannot use Google Checkout?

Also, I had to add code in the tpl_login_default.php for adding the Google Checkout button if the split login is enabled. Paypal Express Checkout button was visible on that page but Google wasn't.

They still can. They just don't use Zen Cart checkout process. They either checkout using the GC icon on the shopping cart page or the login page.

Also, I had to add code in the tpl_login_default.php for adding the Google Checkout button if the split login is enabled. Paypal Express Checkout button was visible on that page but Google wasn't.

Yes the login template delivered with the GC mod does not support split login. but it is very easy to customize. Just compare the default ZC 1.37 login template file with the version delivered with the mod. You will see the small snippet of GC code that needs to be copied into the split login code area further above. I placed the code snippet below the create new ZC account, PPEC login and the existing ZC account login area.

I will provide my edited login template file to ropu so maybe he can include in the next version of the mod.

I have faffed about with this for ages and I changed an edit orders mod in the orders.php for the details button and put it back to edit button and now I can see all my details coming up in Admin including all the google checkout messages :)

If I change the edit orders back to how it was it all dissapears! So there is some conflict somewhere but I have no idea how to solve it, I have tried for days to get it to work!

Now I have changed it back I can't get my tax details showing on the invoices GRRRRRRRR, now that was working before too!

When using any other mods that touch the same core files you will need to merge in the appropriate code. Sounds as /admin/orders.php is the common file here.

Wish I could help but I don't use Edit Orders.

And I doubt you will find too many folks right now running Edit Orders at the same time as Google Checkout mod, since GC is still beta. Just testing with standard Zen Cart install is the immediate focus.

Did anyone get a solution for the following time out error:

"We timed out waiting for your server at <web address here> -- the error we got is: Read timed out Your server must respond faster to merchant calculation callback requests"
