Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[DarkAzrael]

Ok guys, last question..... I swear!!!

How do I change the order of options in the shipping dropdown menu in google checkout. After placing item in cart and clicking the google checkout option the google checkout screen that display populates with "Expedited" shipping not "Standard" and as such the initial cost that you see is higher, which may put someone off. In the Zen checkout Standard shows above Expedited (Configured by sort order).

The drop down menu on the google checkout page has the Expedited option as it's first value, and also in the back end where you configure the custom modules Expedited shows above Standard. (In Google payment module where you place the default values of each shipping option).

If anyone knows how to change this I would really appreciate the help. If it's been answered elsewhere, I apologize, I can't find it.

change the sort order

change the sort order

Right.... that is exactly what I want to do, and it is done inside the back end of Zen... but how do you change the sort order inside of the google checkout?

Also for the first tiem I opened response_message and noticed that it gives alot more information than googl gives you , including the PHONE NUMBER, LAST 4 digital, etc... Why is this in there? is it supposed to be sending somewhere? I could use this for further verification but its in xml format

Did you setup the .htaccess.php file you found in the admin, as per the instructions?

You MUST carefully follow ALL the instrutions.

And don't forget to post in the correct forum, not this one.

Right, I don't think you quite understand....... The sort order is set in Zen's back end with the standard option appearing before expedited, which would be why when you go through regular checkout it appears first..... The issue is with the google checkout system reversing that...... again, I ask... with the sort order already set in Zen, and the exact opposite happening with the google checkout and happening only with google, how do I resolve this?

chain_main, first of all, thanks for always helping out. It does NOT go unnoticed.

Just wondering how to resolve this issue.

When a customer places an order and goes through the Checkout in the header it completely misses GC. I receive the order through email but not through GC.

I am not sure why the Zen Checkout and GC are not working together. Each seem to work fine independently but that's not great.

Do you think I should make the header checkout google link?

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks!

Each method has its uses. The Checkout links keep your customer inside your cart. They must register with you and all their order info stays within your cart. This means that you have to provide some sort of payment methods for them in order for you to get paid. This could be Check/MO, credit card, whatever. If you take credit cards directly, then you need additional services like a merchant account and gateway.

Googlecheckout acts in place of a merchant account in that they do all the credit card verification, and deposit to your accounts. The tradeoff is that they want to have your customer use their site to do it. So there is a separate button for customers to go through Google. This only appears on your login screen (so they can use GCO to create an account) and on the shopping cart contents page. It is not designed to be just a payment method.

When the customer selects the Google Checkout button from their shopping cart contents page, Google creates an account, or uses the customer's existing Google account, and leaves their order info with Google. The GCO module enables the ability for Google to pass the account info back to your cart's admin functions. It also passes order info so that you can process the order directly through your usual zen-cart methods.

I presume from your question that this piece is not happening for you. Do you get a Google checkout button in the Shopping Cart contents page? If so, and the customer selects it, do you get order and customer info back in your admin?

I was having exactly the same problem.

If I understand things correctly, the googlecheckout/responsehandler.php must validate the XML messages coming into it for your own protection. If it can't, it will not pass the data to ZC for processing.

The way its going to do so differs depending on how you set up the admin and is based on whether you're running PHP over CGI or not. Speak to your host.

I hope your host doesn't have a bias towards Google.

Look in your googlecheckout/responsemessage.log, there you should find all the XML messages that GCO tried to send you, but the responsehandler could not validate who they were coming from and did not pass the data to back to ZC.

By using this script:

http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/tools/responsehandler_test.php
that was written by Ropu, I was able to repost the XML one message at a time to see if it would work. And it did.

Unfortunately, the test script tells you not to use an HTTPS: URL for the callback API, so I was using HTTP: and not HTTPS: to do so.

So it worked with HTTP, but I can't test with the HTTPS. I'm scratching my head.

The Google API integration live will not allow you to use a non-HTTPS: URL
and so unfortunately, I can't get to test the HTTPS side.

I get the GC button in the Shopping Cart contents page. I even have a statement to please use the GC button but it appears they are just clicking on the "Checkout" link in the header. I then receive an Order Confirmation from my Zen Cart and nothing in my Google Account.

I can invoice each one separately. But I would really like my Zen cart and GC to work together.

Thanks!
