Checkout by Amazon Zen Cart Plug-in

[retched]

2nd question:

/public_html/includes/modules/payment/checkout_by_amazon.php

==================================

With checkout_by_amazon.php installed I only see authorize.net payment

When I remove checkout_by_amazon.php all of the installed payment modules show

Why isn't 'checkout by amazon" not showing at all in admin payment modules?

This payment method does NOT show up as anything more than a button on the shopping cart page. You will not see this after you proceed to "Checkout" due to Amazon rules and regulations. (Similar to the GoogleCheckout)

I'm a big fan of Amazon and I really want to see this work for my customers however I can't seem to get any orders to show up in seller central or in my cart admin.

I've set up everything according to the instructions as far as I can tell.
I'm in sandbox mode when I'm viewing in seller central and I'm in sandbox mode when I'm producing orders. I've produced two orders but all I get is a customer confirmation that the order has been processed.

I've set up my cron job with an email confirmation and I'm getting this error notification:

"--2011-05-24 16:40:01-- http://oldwestpokersupplies.com/chec...ion=Everything

I've tried to read and re-read this thread but I can't seem to find a solution for this.
I have my IOPN set for https://oldwestpxxxxxcom/checkout_by_amazon.php
I've spent most of my day trying to set this up and I'm at wit's end.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Well, I did finally see my second test order in Zen Cart. I also was able to find both orders in Seller Central.

I was told by the Amazon Team, that the reason I didn't get emails for the orders is that they don't send emails in sandbox. Also in order to find the orders in Seller Central I had to use Advanced Search in Manage Orders and make sure I view Pending Orders.

I have moved to production and will begin testing that side of this interesting checkout option.

Thanks for all the help contained in this thread.

Was just about to suggest looking there. But the customers should still receive an email from Sandbox but it will be labeled with Sandbox Amazon images instead.

Never did get a response from AmazonPayments on THIS ISSUE (even though I've mentioned it twice now) and now I've got a new issue that's popped up over the weekend.

I'm suspecting they might be related.

All of a sudden I'm seeing where 'new customers' have registered. Only thing is, they all have either the same first or last name and their email address is an Amazon email.

Examples...

These "registered" this morning:

Xxxx Miller
Xxxxxxx Miller
xxxxxxx miller
Real Customer
Xxxxxxx-Xxx Miller

All with this type email address: [email protected] (note I replaced the real alphanumeric identifiers with x's)

On the 27th, we got:

Timothy Xxxxxx
Timothy Xxxx
Timothy Xxxxxx
Timothy Xxxx
Timothy Xxxxxxxx
Timothy Xxxxxx
Timothy Xxxxxx

Again with the Amazon style email address.

These people aren't even customers of ours on Amazon and there is NO purchase attached to the 'registration'.

And you can't tell it just so happened that 7 people with the first name 'Timothy' and 4 people with the last name 'Miller' all just happened to register back to back on the same day.

Amazon really needs to address this as it looks like it could turn into a potential security issue, in my opinion. Not to mention the aggravation factor of cluttering up my records and zen admin with bogus customers.

I love Amazon checkout and we do have buyers use it, but with this new issue combined with the other unresolved issue we've had, I'm really about ready to pull it off my site.

FYI - I do NOT have a cron job running that could be pulling this info in either.

Correction -

They ARE customers of ours from Amazon (purchased on Amazon). Their orders date back as far as to July of 2010.

So, I was right...this is part of the same unresolved issue we've been having.

Ok i have everything in its place however, when i test my checkout it shows everything except shipping and taxes only the actual amount only.

When i click on checkout (not the amazon checkout) it gives me the option to see tax, total and shipping and lets me choose how i want to pay and it does not show amazon in a tick box only money order.

My question is how do i get the amazon on my website to have tax and shipping added when a customer checks out?

I am using ZC V 1.3.9H

If any one cares they can see what it does by first hand experiment my website is http://www,hillbillyelectronics.com .

Thanks

I have been testing this out on a 1.3.9h cart, in a test environment with little success.
I have installed it, set it into Sandbox mode, complete with merchantID, AWS access ID and secret key.
The option to use it in when going through the shopping cart does appear, you click on the button and it takes you to a little pop up (continue checkout - or - payphrase express) buttons. So I click on continue checkout, it takes you to a full screen Amazon login screen, and if I use my login, I click on OK and I get:-

Important Message
We're sorry, but there's a problem with this order. Please contact the merchant directly for assistance in completing this order


I have been through the 22 pages of this support thread and not found a solution yet. Any help please?

[darkmarauder]

AmazonPayments (or anyone else) any feedback on my last post please?

I am using zencart 1.39h
I have andover modern template installed from Picaflor Azul
I have a fresh install of the cart and imported my products using ezpopulate 1-2-5-7b

I just installed Amazon Checkout CBA_Plugin_v1.0_zencart_1.39e

I am running Sandbox on both my zencart and in Seller Central

When going through the steps I goto http://www.cravesoap.com/store

I select a product, I click on Add To Cart, I click on checkout by amazon, I click again check out from the box when clicking the amazon button.

It takes me to amazon's site where you have to log in, I do Log in, and it shows me what I want to buy, I make sure everything is ok eg.. the shipping address etc... Then I click on Place my order

When its placing the order I guess checking the payment I get a 404 Forbidden error

You don't have permission to access /store/checkout_by_amazon.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at cravesoap.com Port 80

Seems wierd says frontpage but I am on a Linux server


Any Ideas because checkout_by_amazon.php is in my stores root

Thanks
