I read somewhere in the past few pages that all the backend incorporation in zen should work properly, but I still run into the problem of Google Checkout not changing my inventory count whenever I get an order. Thanks for all your work guys!

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.

Could this error occur if I don't have SSL on the site? My orders still go through.
Also, what details would you like? which error files ? google just says that and when I click on the error no other information shows up.

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.

Hi Doug and thanks for the reply - I have all of the above with the exception of SSL - currently rely on Paypal . I can't yet afford SSL so what do you advise?

Yes, the lack of SSL could definitely cause your messages. What happens is that your zen cart can send your order information to Google Checkout and GCO can accept payment. But GCO will only return information to your zen-cart if you have a secure connection - provided by the SSL certificate. So the orders should still be good but you will not get the order information returned to your Admin.

The error info I was asking for would be in the response_error.log and the response_message.log file in your /googlecheckout folder. If you don't have SSL, then there's probably no need to supply the error info at this time.

PayPal Express checkout offers the same functionality. GCO is a nice to have, but not a need to have.

Yes, your inventory counts should automatically adjust when the GCO order is processed. Are there any hints in your response_error.log or response_message.log files in your /googlecheckout folder?

...just wanted to add that you can still use this mod without SSL, you just won't have level 2 integration, which means orders won't appear in ZenCart, only in your GoogleCheckout account.

Hi,

I've installed this plugin into my zen cart, and on the last checkout page shows my paypal payment boxes and also shows "google checkout" with no check box or anything. If I then go on to not select anything it processes the transaction as if I have paid. Is this because I don't have an SSL certificate on my site yet?
