Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[tj1]

hi, im not sure how it works internally min sell, but waht u can do is add an item in the GC cart that contemplates the charge...

this can be done in googlecheckout/gcheckout.php after the block that start in line 108

if need further help, will try to figure out a solution, but please try to fins out how the module works, how it detects witch is the minimum order, how to get the cost of not reaching that minuium, and all info regarding that module so i can guide u to the solution


hope this helps, ropu

Hi Ropu, my php knowledge is very limited so I wouldn't really know how add the item in the GC cart.

Orders show in ZenCart correctly reflecting the low order fee, but the GC payment received is less than the total shown on ZenCart, which includes the Low Order Fee.

Low Order Fee is a standard feature of ZC. whether the low fee order is added or not is determined by the subtotal. In my case, I have it configured so that if an order is less than $25, a low order fee of $2 is charged.

Could you come up with the code for the GC cart so that if the subtotal is less than $25, it adds an item called 'Low Order Fee' with a price of $2?

Thanks.

To follow-up on this below are other order total modules. All except the top one is built into Zen Cart 1.37.

Order Total Modules :

-------------------------------
Modules 	  	Sort Order 	
-------------------------------
Better Together Discount 	ot_better_together 	292   	
------------------------------- 
COD Fee 	ot_cod_fee 	  	
Discount Coupon 	ot_coupon 	  
Group Discount 	ot_group_pricing 	  
Gift Certificates 	ot_gv 	  	
Low Order Fee 	ot_loworderfee 	  	
------------------------------
Shipping 	ot_shipping 	200   
Sub-Total 	ot_subtotal 	100   
Tax 	ot_tax 	  	Info 
Total 	ot_total 	999   	
------------------------------

GC deals with Total, Tax, and Shipping in it's own way.

(BTW is tax always calculated before or after shipping in Google Checkout? Some regions differ in this regard).

Not so sure if/how GC supports Sub-total.

Maybe the GC mod already supports the other default order total modules? I wouldn't know as I don't use them, yet (or I probably missed them mentioned in the readme ;-).

The Order Total module I use is not built-in but rather is an add-on called 'Better Together' (by swguy). Basically it supports: "buy product A get 50% off product B" or "buy product C and get product D for free" scenarios.

If there is any hope of Google Checkout supporting such functionality then please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks,
Woody

Hi global

have u tried with newer releases?

ropu

I just installed google-checkout-zencart-v1.3RC2.zip and I am still getting the same error:

Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Invalid value for body of allowed-areas in checkout-shopping-cart/checkout-flow-support/merchant-checkout-flow-support/shipping-methods/merchant-calculated-shipping/address-filters: Must be a U.S. 2-letter postal code or state name

Any ideas?

I'm still unable to get international shipping working. I use USPS.

I keep getting this:
============
MyStoreName does not ship to this address
============

Has anyone got this working?

UK USER
Installed google-checkout-zencart-v1.3RC2.zip, overwriting previous
installed version...
Then uninstalled Mod and reinstalled via admin.
Placed order, using sandbox, from as yet, non member of zencart..
Order received and processed via Google Sandbox..
Received confirmation as member that order placed.
Confirmation received to my gmail email account that order placed.
HOWEVER, no order shown in zencart or notification received..
so how is this order processed via zencart please

Should note that I returned as this as yet non member to zencart,
joined using same email/address etc as used to purchase via google checkout.. no order shown after joining...

Hi Misty,

I suspect you meant "registered" versus "returned"?

Registering a new Zen Cart account after checking out with and submitting an order through Google Checkout, should not have negative effect of Google Checkout server responses from properly appearing in Zen Cart admin orders (for the matching email registration).

To narrow down why you are not receiving or recording Google Checkout Server response(s):

For completed orders the Buyer should receive two email messages from Google:
1) Purchase receipt - think of this as an order submission confirmation.
2) Order receipt - think of this as a transaction confirmation.

Assuming you did not receive the latter message?

Which shipping method was used when submitting the sandbox order?

What related log data, if anything, is displayed in:

1) /googlecheckout/response_error.log
2) /googlecheckout/response_message.log
3) in your Sandbox Sellers account under Settings > Integration - under "Integration issues".

Did you setup everything in the Sellers Sandbox account integration panel?

a. API callback URL: https://www.yourdomain.com/yourshop/...nsehandler.php
(or similar path). Be sure to set URL to http if you configured your GC payment module in ZC for http.
Note https or http can be used for sandbox testing. Live accounts require https.

b. Callback method: XML

Please report back.

Misty,

1. Good info on rounding. I never considered rounding policies would be different in various regions of the world. Something to learn. Thanks for heads up. In my neck of the woods we round up to the nearest dollar. Just kidding.

2. Did buyer email account receive TWO email messages from Google (as mentioned in my previous post)? Note that NO email messages for the order submission or transaction are sent from Zen Cart shop cart admin address, as you observe with orders through normal Zen Cart checkout. But when you change order state then email is sent (if you wish) to buyer from Zen Cart shop address.

3. At this time there is no support for instant download products (that is if you sell downloads then you will need to email to customers as attachments or find some other method to distribute). Such info is posted in the thread many times recently ;-)

A new option supports NOT allowing purchases of download products. That is if "Disable Google Checkout for Virtual Goods?"is set to true in the payment module configuration, and then if a download product is added to the customer shopping cart, then the Google Checkout button will appear disabled (in gray, in color... kind of like wizard of oz).

Yes, instant downloads support is on the wishlist.

Did buyer email account receive TWO email messages from Google (as mentioned in my previous post)?

NO...Order receipt to buyer, purchase receipt to merchant google checkout email addy.
Shipping email/confirm charge sent to purchaser email on zen admin process order..
thanks for clarifying that zencart does NOT email store owner,
as per normal when order initially placed via ie. when purchaser uses paypal/freecharger/credit card
DOWNLOADS..uinderstand current mod version's settings/ handing of downloads at this time..
thanks for downloads explanation...

[Woodymon]

NO...Order receipt to buyer, purchase receipt to merchant google checkout email addy. Shipping email/confirm charge sent to purchaser email on zen admin process order...

I stand corrected. Don't know what I was thinking. Yes, one message to buyer and one to seller at time of order. My apologies for the misinformation. Dunno where the two messages to the buyer idea came from.... wait... I remember now... more on that in just a bit...
