Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Woodymon]

It would be great if you can configure your demo to reflect how merchants/retailers will actually use this mod.

Agreed. On the demo I observe following S&H options

Shipping & Handling:

Flat rate: Flat rate Per Order (-)
Item: Flat Rate Per Item (-)
Store Pickup: Store Pickup (-)
Zones: Zones Rates (-)

I see no explanation or any "key" to help customer understand what these S&H options mean or the differences between each S&H option. Or maybe that is dependent on which shopper is selected?

I don't see how to select a specific shipping provider.

When I click the "Calculating tax and shipping" button I observe no response.

Am I missing something?

Also Google Checkout documentation says Google Checkout supports shipping internationally. But when I select any country besides the U..S. the checkout demo says it does not ship to that location.

I have a second installation of Zen Cart in a subdirectory from my main site. I'm using this for certain customers as there will be extra products and different pricing.

Do I need a second GCO seller's account to process those sales? Since my second site is just a subdirectory off the main site, is there a way to just use the same account?

Hi eva

thats an issue, you can have 2 sites with just one account and make it work transparently. The main problem is that you have just one API Callback URL setted in the Setting ->Integration

so all notifications sent by Google will go to that url. u cannot separate one site from the other, because google doesnt know witch sell belongs to witch site...

but ill add a request feature to allow multiple sites per merchant,. and in the cart add a tag to tell GC to witch site the cart belongs... i cant tell you this will be implemented, nor commit for dates, but ill do my suggestion, GC team is very open to this suggestions.

hope this helps

Bless, woddy

its true about the USPS, usp and fedex.



the issue with that, is the permission problem, the SRV is on an isolated DMZ and right now it doesnt have perms to go out to any ports, except sandbox. im working with net sec guys to make these feature works. but you should know, the concept is the same, if you can see any merchant calculation callback works, any shipper should work. ill update you when this is available,

you can try playing in the admin section to enable or disable any shipping provider, add coupns, or anything,. also have a look to the notification Viewer that shows how messages are sent to the GC srv, and came back...
regarding Int'l shipping, woody, that featrue, GC just have released. im coding the update and to also support shipping tracking.

http://code.google.com/apis/checkout...ase_notes.html

these features changed a lot the way shipping is handled, and gives much more power to the users, also Tax are enhanced.

im working on v1.3

btw, woody, please give me a feedback on witch "explanation or "key"" will help merchants to understand better the module, u know this kind of feedback are very welcome, as a coder, sometimes i assume things that merchants dont "know by default"

hope this helps

Is there anyway to add the google checkout button the product listing page? Or does it have to be in the Product information page?? This way its one less button for someone to push.

Ropu,

Attached is an image file of the shipping option that we would like to offer through GoogleCheckout. Can you please assist me in properly configuring this in includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php in the mc_shipping_methods
parameter.

I tried to comment out what I don't want but then I get error, perhaps I am not commenting it right.

Be very careful with current GCO module in handling coupon. I just found out Zen-CART does not physically delete the coupon when I delete them. They just put them in inactive state. Using other checkout methods, Zen-Cart will not allow using those inactive coupon. However, GCO still use those coupon regardless whether they are inactive, or they have already been expired. The only way to prevent people using those expired coupon is to increase minimal order to some large number, say $9999.

ropu, can you verify this is the bug and come up with a quick fix? thanks
