Square Payment Module for Zen Cart [Support Thread]

[DrByte]

Hmm, I haven't seen any problem when using a Canadian Square account.

- created the App in Square
- obtained the oAuth stuff, and told Square the URL to the store
- put the app credentials into Zen Cart, saved those settings
- click the green Token button
- login to Square
- return to store admin, refresh the page, green button goes away
- click Edit and choose the Location from the dropdown, click Save
- ready to take payments

Thank you DrByte.
Found the problem looking at the reference link of the error message. The Application ID inserted in Zen Cart module repeated the few characters "sq0idp-" that were left from initial blank module.
Now working.
Thank you again.

I'm unable to run the Square cron job. I receive the following message when running from Plesk "Task ..../…./square_handler.php completed with error in 1 seconds."

No change in Personal AccessToken achieved. No error report in php (I changed square_handler.php to $verbose=true).

Using Zen Cart v1.5.5f; Square Module 0.94; php 7.1.19.

Any help appreciated.

Some instructions on setting up a plesk cron at http://tinyurl.com/y8eykjnu See if yours matches the info.

I read your link and it's not applicable to me. I'm with A2 Hosting and other schedule tasks work fine. In particular I have the currency update cron job for Zen Cart working without problems.

Since you've changed $verbose to true, what happens when you visit your_store.com/square_handler.php via your browser? It should tell you the status of the token.

I wonder if you have the wrong path. How is this "task" command different from the one you have for the currency cron?

Status of the token shows not expired and it's logic since there have been transactions during the day. However the actual token in Square Dashboard (APPS) has not changed after the cron job.

I include screen of scheduled tasks. Currency Update has the same parameters except for the location of executable php.
Thank you again.

Yes, the actual token won't change unless Square issues an exchange for it, either because they've decided it's time to rotate it, or because it's expired. Since it hasn't expired (which doesn't happen unless unused for 30 days), it's unsurprising that there's no observable change.

It shouldn't be giving any error though. When there's nothing to renew, it exits with status code of 0, meaning no error.

I changed the Schedule Task in Plesk from Run a Command to Fetch a URL and now no error.
