Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Jefflam]

And after following chain_man's recommends, keep in mind that both Google Checkout and the new PayPal Express Checkout are not standard Zen Cart checkout procedures.

So you will not see either of the two Express Checkout options listed on the "Step 2 - Select Payment Method" page.

But the step 2 page will continue to display standard PayPal IPN payment method (unless you disabled) which completely integrates into Zen Cart's standard checkout process.

Thank you, Woody. I solved all the problems except that I still see 2 express checkout (PP & GCO) on the step 2 of 3. Could you tell me how to not show these options in the page step 2 of 3.

In the ZC1.3.7 tpl_checkout_payment_default.php, you need to skip the radio button for GCO after line 134:

<?php
  $radio_buttons = 0;
  for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($selection); $i<$n; $i++) {
    // ** GOOGLE CHECKOUT **
      if($selection[$i]['id'] == "googlecheckout")
        continue;
    // ** END GOOGLE CHECKOUT **
?>

For Paypal it should be fine because the radio button would represent the traditional (non-express) paypal payment. On the other hand, GCO does not have a non-express mode so it will need to be excluded from this page.

Hi everybody,

thank you all of your help. This is the last issue i THINK.
ZC137 + GCO104
I moved fast to the testing GCO now but received 2 errors from https://sandbox.google.com/checkout

</error>
I did setup 2 accounts for seller and buyer and activated them for test.
Callback method: name/value pairs; shopping cart type: allow shopping cart with name/value pairs to be sent to google.

Please give me help. Thank you in advance.

If you're still having problems, you might want to change the callback method to XML.

Just thought I would check back in here today.

I hope the file I posted isn't causing more problems for people.

It looks like it doesn't help most people, but those are changes that had to be made to our file to get it to work as it should and it's working for us, so who knows :)

Some short feedback ..... installed GCO approx 3 weeks ago ..various hiccups with shipping rates but finally arrived at a Zencart 1.3.6 + GCO 1.5 working pretty well

As of today, I am receiving approx 40+ % of my sales as GCO sales, and will save more than $10k this year on card processing fees. Since migrating to ZC + GCO im amazed at how many people prefer to pay with GCO ... wonderful ....keep up the good work to all the folks who's suggestions here helped me to get to this situation.

small pointer : after long discussion with Godaddy , it seems that their $19.95 123 SSL certs DO work with GCO if the full ca-bundle is installed.

Thanks !!

Wishlist suggestion to the GC for ZC mod developers-

Would it be possible to emulate the code employed by the new PayPal Express for ZC mod, to support "downloads" in Google Checkout. That is, send an email to the customer (purchasing the download) containing their shop account login credentials which they can then use to download the files they just purchased? I assume the account name and password are auto-generated by PayPal Express mod?

Please say yes to this idea ;-)

I'm not sure but I think Jefflam may have been referring to PayPal Express appearing on Step 2 page, not the "traditional" PayPal IPN radio button.

with ZC1.3.7 and GC 1.0.4, tax is always zero, and, USPS shipping is not working. If I use a differend payment method, the shipping and tax is correct in all cases.

I've deleted and reinstalled GC 1.0.4 to no avail. I have no other mods and not sure what might be wrong.

ideas?
