Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[samad64]

I'm thinking lots of customers are using this GCO because it's in perty colors and available right after they click on their last product that they added to their cart. I received one order the past however many days that had the persons contact info and also their phone number. This order went through with no glitches and had sizes and colors specified. I'm thinking this person logged into my website and decided to use google checkout instead of going thru the zen-cart checkout procedure.

Is there a way to make customers log into zen before they can checkout with GCO?

If so, this would save me about 15-20 reverse lookups, and anything i can on the internet to find a way to contact the person.

No.. that would be against TOS from my understanding. GC is supposed to be an "express checkout" method.. having to have a user register/login breaks the express part

well what works works, what doesn't doesn't...if googz would hurry up and go cha chunk and fix this bad boy we'd all be some happy customers.

What's the link for the newest version?

I can't seem to find it through all the pages...

I ran a test through with GCO with a Gift Certificate and the order didn't show up in the Admin or GC Queue.

It appears ropu has yet to submit 1.05 version or yet to be approved for listing on Zen Cart downloads area (1.04 is still listed as latest version). Ropu posted the svn link in a thread post several days ago which contains the individual 1.05 files. Note that you have to "package" it up yourself. If you are not sure how to do this best to wait for listing update in downloads area.

BTW there is a change, between version 1.04 and 1.05, at the very end of the replacement code in /admin/orders.php. If you are upgrading from previous version it is easy to miss. (see 1.05 readme for the full code snippet).

          }
         } 
 google_checkout_state_change($check_status, $status, $oID, $customer_notified, $notify_comments); 
// ** END GOOGLE CHECKOUT *

Found downloaded & installed...Thank you...

BUT...

Admin's still not working...I even tried commenting out that code from a few pages ago.

I'm assuming this patch by colosports (from post #223 of this thread) is no longer recommended as GCO cannot (or rather should not) be integrated into the regular Zen Cart checkout process?

Or can this patch still be useful?

If a customer tries to select Google Checkout as payment from the Step 2 - Payment Page, it will act like they were paying by check.

To fix this, you have to edit templates\tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php page:

Ok, whatever's in the newest version doesn't allow me to use Google Checkout any longer. So I downloaded the approved version from here.

How do I get the admin to work properly?

And what is the XML that everyone is talking about? I can not locate that on Google or my Admin.

@Triplemoons: When you say it's "not working" can you be more specific?

Are you receiving any customer and/or admin email messages from Zen Cart when the order is submitted?

Are you testing the 1.05 mod with the sandbox account? And in your Google Sandbox account did you set your:

1. API callback URL
2. Callback method: XML

Did you try ropu's posted code to help test/debug the response handler?

Note Chain_mans recent post stating that he only did a partial update to 1.05 (continues to use some 1.04 files). I followed his advice successfully (Zen Cart 1.36).

It will not allow you to use Google at all in the shopping cart.

Are you receiving any customer and/or admin email messages from Zen Cart when the order is submitted?

No admin. That is the problem. I removed 1.05, it's gone. I'm just going to work with the approved version until all of this is fixed. I don't have time to keep going back and changing code.

Are you testing the 1.05 mod with the sandbox account?

Sandbox account does not work.

And in your Google Sandbox account did you set your:

1. API callback URL
2. Callback method: XML

I do not have those options. I do not know what a callback URL is.

Did you try ropu's posted code to help test/debug the response handler?

This thread it's impossible to find anything. It's all mixed up with people going back and forth between different things. So my short anwer is no.

Many of your questions are answered in the readme and installation docs. Please reread. (I had to read several times myself).

You need to successfully setup a sandbox account with Google. Please don't proceed any further until you do. Then when testing via the sandbox account you should be receiving email messages from Google (as customer and storeowner) when the order is submitted and the orders should show up in your Google Checkout sandbox account. Once you confirm that is the case then you can proceed troubleshooting your issue of the orders not appearing in Zen Cart admin.

The XML should appear in your google checkout log files you created in /googlecheckout. Is there any info in the error log which may assist?

You did not respond to the question if you tried the responsehandler debug code provided by ropu.

Note this mod is till in "beta' and not ready for those who just want a plug and play solution and who do not want to research the issues. This thread is mainly for providing continued testing feedback and suggestions. If you don't have the time to try out different things then it is agreed that you wait for a packaged up non-beta release.

BTW my testing has not utilized any of the coupon or voucher features or taxes or calculated shipping.
