Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[tj1]

Thanks for the reply! When I enter the GC merchant ID and key I get a Page not Found 404 error.

I searched for the problem in this thread with no luck. Any suggestions?

Try again, sometimes if you take too long too enter your the user and password your server might time out and give you the 404 error.

Try to access the googlecheckout folder again. If it's configure correctly, you should be able to use your merchant id as user and merchant key as password.
If it doesn't work, you probably did not set up the .htaccess and .htpassword files correctly.

Are you running php over cgi?

Can anyone help me with this? I am not sure what is going on with it...

You need to add the new shipping methods to includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php

I've tried it a dozen times, cutting and pasting the Merch id and key, so I am confident it isn't timing out.

Yes running php over cgi

I do think that I filled everything out correctly creating .htaccess and .htpassword I even did it a 2nd time to be sure.

I've been a bit of lurker in here and have found much help with this module, thanks all! Quick question. I've finally got things working where Google checkout posts everything back to the admin, orders are showing up fine, the only issue is that Google orders don't affect my product quantity counts and thus don't show up in my products purchased tab under reports. On the orders page it lists the products and product id's properly, but for some reason they don't affect the actual product quantities.

I've done a search and haven't been able to find anything on this. Is there something I need to change in the code to make this happen or is this a feature they're still working on? This is definitely the least of all the evils I've been having, but it would be nice to have the products show up on my bestseller lists as I get about half my orders coming through Google. Thanks!

I was kind of hesitant to install Google checkout due to the long and not guaranteed to work process like other Mod.

Today, i installed the files and updated the ones need to be updated on a site that i use to test new installation on, i have a couple of errors:

1) when i have credit cards enable i get an error that say:
Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in
D:\<<Site Directory>>\includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_checkout_payment_d efault.php on line 134

<?php
$selection = $payment_modules->selection();

if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {
// ** GOOGLE CHECKOUT **
if($selection[$i]['id'] == "googlecheckout")
continue; <<Line 134>>
// ** END GOOGLE CHECKOUT **

?>

2)when i disable the credit card i am able to see Google checkout as a payment option, but when i pay for the item i am testing with it display the thank you page from my site and never took me to google to finalize the payment.

I did not read all 161 pages but i tried to search for the error an i could not find any thing of help.

Any idea? i am using the the latest Zen Cart 1.3.7 and GCO v1.2RC4rev1 which worked for some people. Thanks.

Note: i set up my Google checkout account today, my bank is not verified yet, could that has any thing to do with it?

This is my own unique experience with Google Checkout. You may or may not be having the same issues and came up with the same solutions as me, but in the event that you are stuck, this is what I have learned.

1. The only checkout option I give my customers is Google Checkout. I removed the normal Checkout option because too many customers found it confusing that if they clicked the normal checkout button they couldn't then checkout through Google. Of course, Google is the only credit card processing service I offer and it works well for me. I have been strictly using Google Checkout for a month now and so far no problems. Since Google Checkout isn't charging any fees until 2008, this is also the most cost effective solution for me.

2. The shipping integration has just never seemed to work right, therefore, I decided to just charge a flat shipping fee and flat handling fee per item. I disabled all other shipping options including Free Shipping and this seems to work. I would like to, at some point, integrate with USPS and have it calculate correctly in Google Checkout, but right now it just doesn't seem to work right.

3. I've never had any problems with my sales tax. They seem to calculate correctly in Google Checkout. I do not like, however, how Google adds the sales tax to the price of the item and then in small font says THIS INCLUDES 8.25% SALES TAX. I think the Sales Tax should be a separate line item like Shipping and Handling.

4. I also wish that I didn't have to enter my coupon codes separatley in Google Checkout. This means if I want to offer a new coupon, I have to add it in Zen Cart and then add it in Google Checkout. Seems like my customers could just enter it before Checkout and it pass through to Google Checkout.

Don't know if this info will come in handy to anyone, but if you have a question, feel free to email me using the form on my site.

Thanks

I removed the line which was giving an error, i now able to see the credit card payment option and the check/Money order, one problem though, Google checkout appear without the radio selection, Any Idea?

Also, is it ok to remove line 134 from the file? see in red below.



<?php
$selection = $payment_modules->selection();

if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {
// ** GOOGLE CHECKOUT **
if($selection[$i]['id'] == "googlecheckout")
continue; <<Line 134 Where the error is>>
// ** END GOOGLE CHECKOUT **

?>

It appears that your SSL certificate is not valid. Do you have one? Are you using the sand box? If so, do you have the 'https:' option checked in your Admin > Payments > GCO configuration but don't have SSL enabled in your cart?

Ummm. Just found out that PayPal is offering free credit card transaction processing until 1/31/2008 as well. If you can't get Google Checkout to work, you might be interested in knowing this.
