Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[mohinder]

i'm having problems with this..

i installed it and see no sign of google checkout ANYWHERE on my site. (http://wishgiving.com/index.php).

it's not on the checkout page, it's not on the product page, it's not anywhere..

i tried replacing the tpl_checkout_payment_default.php with the fixed one, that didn't do anything either..

Any ideas?

Thank Woody!
I was able to revese installation with success!
BTW! Do you know anyone that could install correctly?

Glad I could help.

1. I know the free transaction fees are a major attraction but the mod is just very much beta right now. Unless you have the time/skill to keep on updating I recommend waiting for both Google Checkout AND the mod to mature.

2. Also the kind of shipping configuration you require and support for taxes and many other variables, will determine if Google Checkout will work for you, as you need it. There are many basic Zen Cart features the mod and/or Google Checkout do not yet support, and much is yet to be documented.

3. The mod is designed for Zen Cart v.1.37. The latest 1.3RC2 version uses core Zen Cart 1.37 files. But others have it working on 1.36 and maybe earlier version of Zen cart (but likely they used a previous version of mod and have not upgraded).

BTW I am not dissing the mod or Google Checkout. Although some policies of Google/Google Checkout are just over reaching. Google Checkout is what it is.

1. When requesting support please report the version of Zen Cart you are running and the mod version you have installed.

2. The tpl_checkout_payment_default.php was just for those having issues with Google Checkout label displaying on the Zen Cart payment checkout page. But since you could not get mod to display at all, not sure why you replaced that page?

3. It appears you have not uploaded the mod template files to your proper template directory. What is the name of your template? "classic"?

Have any of you experienced confused customers with google checkout?

Earlier this week I had a customer tell me that they went to google checkout to pay but there wasn't a place to add their credit card info.

Today I had another customer write this email.

guess I dont understand the "google checkout". Wanted to order the LF2 hummingbird feeder by droll yankees. Wanted to charge it to credit card.
Please advise. Thank you.

When I go to google checkout it has my username in the login, the order info above that, and nothing on the left.

I figured the customer didn't have a google checkout id so I decided to click on the "sign on as a different user button.

Walla the credit card form popped up, but it did take about a second or so.

I've asked my customers to try again, and one has emailed me that they still don't see a place to pay.

Any ideas?

I'm posting this in the google checkout forum as well.
Zen Cart Ver, 1.3.7

You can edit posts for five minutes or so after posting.

What is your URL for your shop index page?

The URL responsehandler URL you previously provided
http://www.my-site.com/googlecheckou...nsehandler.php
indicates your shop is in your webroot. Are you certain?

If you shop is in a directory (as most people will install) then the URL would be something like:
http://www.my-site.com/your_shop/goo...nsehandler.php

If you provide a real URL we could tell you.

The XML, which you can paste into ropu's responsehandler test tool, should be in your log files in /googlechckout directory.

Copy/process one error entry at a time.

In your Google Sellers sandbox account are you certain you have selected XML for the Callback Method?

Testing sandbox via http is fine.

BTW I would not recommend posting callback XML info in the clear without first obfuscating (contains zenid, etc). Or PM to trusted people (ropu, etc).

Hi Woody

here is the info you requested :

1. shop url : http://www.anabolicamerica.com

2. yes its root. i'm running on a VPS
3. only error i have in my log is from awhile back saying "Mon Nov 20 16:21:57 ART 2006:- HTTP Basic Authentication failed."
4. yes xml radio button is selected and shopping cart post security is unchecked
5. thanks for the heads up. going to request that post be removed.

6. thanks

1. zen cart 1.3.7
latest version of google checkout module.

2. didn't know what it was for, just decided to give it a try.

3. no, i didn't. my template files are in template_default. only the css files are in CLASSIC.

1. Need to know the mod version number to answer specific questions. Different files came with different mod versions. Difficult to provide support when this info is not provided.

2. Not a good idea ;-)

3. ALL template files need to be uploaded to your override template directory. Only in very rare occasion do you want to edit/customize/overwrite the core template files in template_default. Recommend reading about 'template overrides' in the Zen Cart FAQ. (YOUR_TEMPLATE = your custom template directory = template override directory).

Some random questions (maybe you have already answered but just double checking):

1. Are you certain cURL is enabled on your account?

2. I attempted accessing your website but it was not coming up for awhile (blank page). But coming up now.

3. The Google Checkout button is missing from your login page. (see Google Checkout TOS).

4, When I click on Google Checkout button on your shopping cart page I observe a blank page with URL of https://sandbox.google.com/...
Note attempting to connect to sandbox via https (so check mod config and Sandbox Sellers account settings to ensure both are set to http.

5. And response handler URL in both mod config and Google Checkout Sellers account Sandbox (Settings > Integration) should show http, not https.

6. Are you certain you are using the "Sellers Sandbox" merchant ID & Key, and not the "Sellers Live Production" merchant ID & key in your mod sandbox configuration? And be sure there are no spaces before or after the key or ID.

7. Can you post your shipping generator output which you pasted into the two merchant calculation arrays in /includes/payment/gogglecheckout.php

$this->mc_shipping_methods = array()
and
$this->mc_shipping_methods_names = array()

1. no Woody i'm not sure. This is my first VPS and i am still green. is there a linux command to check for cURL? would "yum install cURL" work? i will look into this.

2. Sorry i was messing around with BIND and Apache, its up now.

3. I don't like how they require that it be on your login page so i removed it. I will put it back on to comply with the TOS. thanks for pointing that out.

4. Strange, it works for me. I double checked both and they are indeed set to http.

https://sandbox.google.com/checkout/view/buy?o=shoppingcart&shoppingcart=765541697893927

5. that is correct they both show http

6. 100% positive i am using sandbox ID & Key

7. i have not pasted anything into my gogglecheckout.php

Earlier this week I had a customer tell me that they went to google checkout to pay but there wasn't a place to add their credit card info.

Today I had another customer write this email.

guess I dont understand the "google checkout". Wanted to order the LF2 hummingbird feeder by droll yankees. Wanted to charge it to credit card.
Please advise. Thank you.

These may be Google/browser issues. I can't checkout with GC using Safari on my own site or anyone else's. I can't do GC administration using Safari either, it actually crashes the browser.

On a similar note, using Safari the "-or use-" is completely off the edge of the main window, over in the background color and the GC button hangs halfway off. I have the right column width set to 0px, using version 1.3.7 of Zen and GOOGLE CHECKOUT PLUGIN FOR ZEN CART v1.3RC2 - 04/16/2007. Any ideas how to fix that?
