Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Ollie2]

I look forward to hearing what changes have been made and testing it out.

It's been repeatedly requested that you post the content of the two arrays in your GC payment module file. But you have yet to do that. Why?

Woody

Sorry about that, missed your post. I did post this before a while back, along with Isaac, but it got buried with all the new post, just before you went on vacation I think.

Anyway, below is what I have. The USPS and Free Shipping Option Module are the only two mods I use. Have you had a chance to test yourself if it works on your site?

'international_types' => 
                                      array( 
                                          'Express Mail Int' => 'Express Mail International (EMS)', 
                                          'Priority Mail International' => 'Priority Mail International', 
                                          'First-Class Mail Int' => 'First-Class Mail International', 
                                           ),

A new TEST version will be available very soon.
Currently titled: v1.4-Alpha

Available from the SVN site (branches/1.4-alpha).
Not yet available as a .zip file.

I'll be happy to test once available.
What's the 'SVN site'? Can you give a link please?

Not ready yet. Will post the TESTING version SVN URL and zip URL on Friday as many updates are happening to the code right now and which have yet to be committed to SVN.

The 1.4-alpha code may include support for "Orders Totals" mods, including "Low Order Fee". There are complexities in supporting other ZC OT modules (besides tax, ship and coupons), since GC does not natively support them. Ropu is still working out the logic.

You should install an SVN client to retrieve (checkout) the various code commits via SVN (Tortoise is a good Windows SVN client). Can use to manage separate "repositories" including both the current SVN "trunk" (1.3RC2) and the various SVN "branches" (including the testing 1.4-alpha).

Below is what I have. The USPS and Free Shipping Option Module are the only two mods I use.

As previously requested it is best to post the COMPLETE code for the two arrays.

And as suggested previously, for "testing" please UNINSTALL the 'Free Shipping' shipping mod, then try USPS with GC (ensuring mentions of Free SHipping is removed from the two arrays).

Then also test the following two set-ups (also without Free Shipping installed):

'international_types' => 
                                      array( 
                                         'First-Class Mail Int' => 'First-Class Mail International', 
                                       ), 

AND

'international_types' => 
                                      array( 
                                         'Express Mail Int' => 'Express Mail International (EMS)', 
                                       ), 

Let us know how the results of the testing for the above THREE configurations.

The more info we can provide Ropu the better.

Hi, I've got a new installation of GC 1.3 RC2 here:

http://www.ssri.biz/cart/

When I add items to my cart and go to the 'checkout' page, I always get a greyed out disabled "Google Checkout not available for these items" button.

It's in production mode. I've triple-checked my merchant ID/Key and other configuration options, made sure I'm not on a PHP over CGI host.


I've crawled through this thread quite a bit looking for help, but I'm not finding anything especially useful, except to be sure my configuration settings are correct.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

How did things go when you were testing?

Can you supply logs from the error files?

Hi actually I figured out the issue with this one from a forum on google's support pages:

* A disabled button is displayed in the following cases:
* 1. If merchant id or merchant key is not set
* 2. If there are multiple shipping options selected and they use different
shipping tax tables
* or some dont use tax tables
* 3. The cart is empty

My case was #2 -- I had two different shipping options with two different tax tables - which worked fine for zencart checkout but not GC.

But now I'm on to a new problem! Read below... :)

Thanks for the report. Yes that is an issue with Google Checkout, nothing to do with the mod itself. As we go along here we discover the Google Checkout API engineers have mysteriously left out support for some common ecommerce functionality. Recommend posting your wishlist of desired features and functions to both the Google Checkout Merchants And Developer support forums. The more merchants that do this the better.

My zen cart's native checkout has no trouble doing international USPS shipping (two methods: Express Mail International & First-Class Mail International)

If I try to use GC to ship to any address outside of USA, GC "does not ship to this address" -

I have the may 14 USPS update installed.

I've tried using the shippings methods generator to insert new arrays into my googlecheckout.php -- but no joy. It broke everything *Except* shipping to New Mexico (my taxable state.)

You can see my installed methods by hitting

https://www.ssri.biz/cart/googlechec...ping_generator

or by doing a regular checkout from http://www.ssri.biz/cart

Thanks for any ideas,
