Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Woodymon]

Woody,

Yes, I did first test with First-Class Mail Int only, then removed that and tried with Express Mail Int. On both occasions I got that error 'Company Sandbox does not ship to this address'.

My store's home address is Los Angeles, CA, U.S. I've done shipping tests with address from the UK, Canada and Australia, but I'm pretty sure it applies to all other countries as well.

The shipping estimator on the shopping cart page works perfectly for any address.

No shipping or tax zones applied here.

Here's what I have in the file, nothing special really, the only changes I have done is updating the USPS names to reflect the new ones and removed USPS international options I don't use.

The shipping estimator worked for each of the three USPS International options you selected, when you tested each option individually and also when you tested all USPS options at the same time (in same array build)?

And when you tested Priority Intl via GC sandbox, it would work (only item in the arrays)? But when First Class Intl and Express Mail Intl were tested all by themselves (again, only items in the array) you received the shipping error?

What happens when you test in USPS option with GC Live, not in GC sandbox?

Again, unless I see the stripped down arrays you actually used for testing it is difficult to test.

Have you used those two USPS International options with other payment modules (PP IPN or PPEC, etc)? I would check with other International shippers on the ZC Shipping related forums to see if others are having any similar issues with those shipping options.

1.4-alpha update...

1. New 1.4 alpha code is up for testing at the demo2 site.
http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/zen_demo2/

2. Ignore the debug info. Because debug is enabled, MC (Merchant Carrier/Calculations) won't work.

(Note: I've requested debug be disabled. But since Ropu is still developing the code until code freeze tomorrow, so not sure when debug will be disabled).

3. 'Low order fee' and 'freeshipper' are now "working".

4. Reports GC mod should now work with "any" ZC Order Totals (OT) module. And he has proposed the OT features to Google for incorporation into the Google Checkout API.

5. Please add products to test the new group "discount". This will help Ropu test.

6. Ropu has yet to investigate USPS International ship issues. It is a top priority of his so keep on posting USPS troubleshooting reports.

7. Please provide feedback to the demo ASAP.


1.4-alpha release & Support...

1.4-alpha code freeze is tomorrow and updated change log will be available soon. Look for the updated 1,.4-alpha SVN commit and a zip to be available Monday.

The 1.4-alpha SVN branch is here:
http://google-checkout-zencart.googl...ches/1.4-alpha

If you don't understand how SVN works then wait and download the zip. But it is best to download and install a SVN client and learn how SVN checkout works. Process is straight forward... if using Windows I recommend 'Tortoise' client. SVN checkout is recommended for testers as zips with new updated features will not often be made available during the alpha and early beta testing phase.

IMPORTANT: Support for 1.4-alpha will NOT occur here. Support will be at
http://groups.google.com/group/googl...rt-mod-support

So please do NOT post questions or issues regarding 1.4-alpha in this thread.

However, support for 1.3RC2 will continue in this thread, until 1.4 emerges from beta. Then support for 1.3RC2 will eventually be discontinued.

So the two arrays you posted above is your normal setup?. Do you truly offer each one of those shipping methods and options? I understood previously you were only offering USPS and freeoptions?

At any rate I wanted to to see the two arrays you used for EACH limited test so I could copy and paste into my module file and attempt to emulate your scenario (and Ropu needs the same). But so far you have not offered that information.

Woody

Woody, the only two shipping modules I use and have installed are USPS and freeoptions. You understood correctly the first time.

Now I'm just using the USPS module for the sake of simplifying things.
I was simply copying and pasting what's in my includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php file, which is pretty much what you find in the file by default, the only changes I have made to it is the new USPS naming.

When you mention you want to attempt to emulate my scenario, does that mean you have USPS international options working just fine on your shop?

I really don't have any custom coding in the file. It's just what's there by default plus the update for the new naming of the usps options.

When I did those tests, everything in the file stayed the same except for the usps part when I changed to the following for the one test:

                        'usps' => array(
                                    'domestic_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'Express' => 'Express Mail',
                                          'First Class' => 'First-Class Mail',
                                          'Priority' => 'Priority Mail',
                                          'Parcel' => 'Parcel Post',
                                           ),

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

and this for the other test:

                        'usps' => array(
                                    'domestic_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'Express' => 'Express Mail',
                                          'First Class' => 'First-Class Mail',
                                          'Priority' => 'Priority Mail',
                                          'Parcel' => 'Parcel Post',
                                           ),

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

I don't think it makes any difference, but did you want me to remove or comment out all the arrays for the modules I don't have installed?

[Woodymon]

did you want me to remove or comment out all the arrays for the modules I don't have installed?

Not comment out. REMOVE THE CODE! I don't know how I could be more clear on this. Remove anything from those two arrays not related to the specific module and ship option you are testing. Remove even if disabled in Zen Cart.

This basic testing and troubleshooting process has been repeated in this thread many times.

So if you want me to test for you please provide me with the two MC arrays you are using for each specific shipping option so I can copy and paste into my module file and test. Otherwise I will have to drop this subject as I have other things I should be doing. And then you can test with 1.4-alpha (but the testing process, in the new version will be the same).

Woody

Sorry Woody, I think I might be getting confused now.

I really don't have any 'special custom' configurations. Every ZenCart store I've seen with the GC module has the same issue, the only international option that shows up is priority international.

To see this, simply install the USPS module, configure the GoogleCheckout settings, and you will see what I mean.

Does Ropu have a USPS account yet? He mentioned he didn't have one last time he posted. Can't really test without an account.

The shipping estimator in ZenCart works perfectly. However, the only option that shows in the GoogleCheckout cart is priority international. If priority international is not present in the array, then the "Company does not ship to..." message appears.

I'm testing in both a live shop and a test shop with sandbox account. Same thing happens in both.

All USPS international options work with PayPal IPN/PayPal Express.

Again, I think I should make it clear that I'm not the only one with this issue. Regardless of configuration, any ZenCart store that offers USPS international options and has GC module installed, the only USPS international option that will show up in the GC cart is priority international.

I apologize I misunderstood what you wanted, I'm always multi-tasking and sometimes miss somethings. However, I think you are also making it more complicated to understand what this issue really is. All you have to do is install the USPS module and configure the settings for in GC settings and then you'll see what I'm seeing.

Thanks for the notification about the new 1.4 alpha code.

Please do forget about the USPS issue for now as it might be taking much of your time and if we can't figure it out we can always use the 'per weight' module to sort of emulate it.

I will no longer be supporting 1.3RC2. My focus will be with testing the 1.4 base.

What advice would you offer to me regarding Google checkout? As yet I have not attempted to add it to my store. Is it best to wait?

Google keeps emailing me about my call back url.
This is the error


java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

It depends...

If you have basic zc functionality, use only a few shipping methods, don't have a multiple tax requirement, and have an SSL certificate, then yes. Definitely! My site has been working with GCO for months now.

Exceptions to the above may make the implementation a bit more challenging but may still be done.

Be sure to go to the zen-cart downloads and pick up the version there.

I got a similar message when my site was temporarily unavailable.

You may also get it when the call back url that you entered in your Google account integration information is not valid. This is the one that specifies where to find your responsehandler.php.

If you supply some more detail, we might be able to help. Maybe the entries from your error files too.
