Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[BlessIsaacola]

For the first issue, have a look to the integration section, a full detail of the error will be show

you can also use http://demo.globant.com/tools -> cart decode to see how the cart is generated. that error is because the cart is malformed

the second issue could be because GC is detected as a spider. try disabling spiders or remove from includes/spider.txt strings ling jakarta


hope this helps

ropu,

1. There is no jakarta in the includes/spider.txt

2. I am not sure that the googlecheckout is coded to account for Free Shipping Option when order doesn't meet the requirement. When Free Shipping Option is enabled and set to give free shipping for orders > or = $149.99, Googlecheckout doesn't throw error if order placed is > or = $149.99. If the order is < $149.99 then googlecheckout returns error message " Oops!
Clevershoppers.com has sent Google a shopping cart with errors in it. We'll contact them to ask that they fix this problem. As this could be a temporary issue, you can go back in your browser to try checking out again." Basically, the googlecheckout code is not taking into account the condition when shopping cart order total is less than the stated condition.

3. Googlecheckout currently doesn't return calculated shipping, just displays the default values configured on the admin side. I assume there is a timeout issue still.

4. Enabling multi-socket to speed shipping calculation returns error that our store currently does not ship to customer's location no matter what their location is.

5. Googlecheckout still does not support tax calculation if a customer belongs to a zone that requires tax.

ropu,

When I ran the responsehandler_test.php this is the error I got:

SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:func(144):reason(134)

What exactly do this mean and how can I resolve this. The .crt, .key and .ca file are installed on the server so I don't know why this is problem.

ropu,

I am rolling back to version 1.0.4 so we can at least take advantage of Google Checkout. Our customers are enjoying the free $10 they get from google and there is too much problem with merchant calculated shipping right now.

I ran the responsehandler_test.php which returned less than 1 seconds and yet googlecheckout is still timing out even though it's suppose to work if it's less than 3 seconds.

It would be great the day this mod actually works flawlessly.

Thanks for the update. We are eagerly awaiting this release so we can test it. I am sure Woody will be happy to see this post :)

Thanks for all the efforts you put into this mod.

You are correct sir!

And thanks for the news Ropu. Will be sure to test and report back.

When you have a moment, could you make any recommends on how to go about disabling the ordering of some products with Google Checkout. Specifically, disable the ordering of PDF eBook products through Google Checkout but enable all other products.

How to implement such an idea? Would need to be easy for customer to understand.

DrByte offered this tidbit previously in this thread in response to my post:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=378

Noting that the mod will not be supporting instant downloads anytime soon, can anyone suggest techniques on how to filter out certain products (e.g. downloadables) so they cannot be purchased with GCO. I can post "warning" notes throughout the site and on productInfo and product_listing pages, but I'm hoping for something a bit more elegant.

You'll need something like this:

    if ($_SESSION['cart']->content_type == 'virtual') .... blah blah blah ...

... during checkout, if this is found to be 'virtual', it indicates that everything in the cart is not defined as a physical product. eg. only contains GV's or downloads or other virtual items.

I'm a bit clueless on whow to go about implementing such an idea.

Whenever customer clicks Google Checkout on the shopping cart page (or login page), then the order needs validated so no virtual products are in customer shopping cart.

Order would need to be all physical products to be able to proceed with Google Checkout. So we also need to prevent customer from attempting to submit a "combo" order, that is, part physical product and part virtual product.

Also need such order validation to occur on Zen Cart side. That is, customer should not have to have to go through most of the Google Checkout process just to find their order is "invalid".

If a virtual product exists in shop cart, then if Google Checkout button is pressed, Zen Cart should provide custom error:

"We're sorry. One or more items currently in your SC cannot be purchased through GC at this time. Please return to your SC and use an alternative payment/checkout method -OR- remove all eBook items from your shop cart then click the GC button again."

As previously stated, we just don't have resources/time to be emailing PDF's. And besides that, customers who order PDF's want to see them now, not wanting to wait for to receive in email.

So until Google Checkout supports Zen Cart download orders in seamless fashion (such as is done with PayPal IPN or most other instant payment methods) we must be able to prevent orders for downloads from being processed through Google Checkout.

Hope you can understand.

I think there's an error in the readme file.
It reads like this:

"In order to provide this support (as required for Level 2 integration), update
the API callback request field in the seller account to
https://<url-site-url>/admin/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php"

I think the correct address should be https://<url-site-url>/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php, correct?

There are few other references in the readme file to 'admin/googlecheckout/'. There's no googlecheckout folder in the admin folder. Am I missing something?

That's great, anxiously awaiting.

My technical knowledge is so limited, yet I managed to install the GoogleCheckout module and it works great without any errors. :)

P.S. I think the readme file needs some editing as it has references to folders not used anymore.
