Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[rdch]

Hi,

I did a test purchase using google checkout and the order went through ok and i paid for it, and i got the confirmation email from google, but the order did not register in the zen-cart admin.

Also the confirmation page once i had placed the order did not show an order number - even though the confirmation email from google had an order number.

Any ideas?

Hopefully you guys can help me as I am about to beat my head against a wall. I just upgraded Google Checkout to 1.4.5 and I noticed that while caculating the shipping cost via Google Checkout my customers are always presented with:

"Free Options: Free Options"

From what I can tell and form what I read via searching the past few hours, this only shows up if you are using the free shipping option, which I am. The thing I am having trouble with is that this free shipping option is presented to the customer no matter how much their order total was!

Right now I have it set up so that this option is only presented when the customers order total is $29.99 or greater, but with GC the customer can have a $6.99 item in there and it will still offer them free shipping!

Can anyone out there please direct me towards anything that can help me fix this? In the meantime, I just removed the free shipping options from the array but I would like to add it back as my customers perfer to use Google Checkout over my other payment methods!

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind guys, I figured it out with a simple if/else statement.

The next version of the GC for ZC mod will support Zen Cart v.1.3.8 out-of-the-box (customized template files bundled with the mod will include ZC 1.38 code). Ropu will be working on the mod update soon. If you desire new features or need fixes be sure to post your requests/needs/questions on the mod support forum at [url]http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-for-zen-cart-mod-support[/ur]

The key things for the new version would be

- More descriptive text at the module setting page for people don't know what half the technical stuff means... perhaps just an "example" under each section that is clearer?

- Better communication between the GC and the ZCC

- Better instructions on how to set up the API call backs, when the SSL is needed etc. For example, we plan to ONLY use Google Checkout.

- If ONLY Google Checkout is used, it would be nice for the other checkout buttons etc to be removed so there is no confusion for the customer.

Just my thoughts :)

More commenting would be great wouldn't it!

That won't happen due to Google Checkout policy of having their buttons outside the normal checkout system. I'm planning on having a separate site just for google checkout and the others on birdoasis.com.

- Better instructions on how to set up the API call backs, when the SSL is needed etc. For example, we plan to ONLY use Google Checkout.

I think GC are handling this in the new code where it will work right out of the box.

- If ONLY Google Checkout is used, it would be nice for the other checkout buttons etc to be removed so there is no confusion for the customer.

They can't do that due to the number of people that need to use multiple checkout processes. Especially if they have already signed up with a merchant account. I fully believe that a site has to be GC or not GC due to their TOS being blatantly out of the regular checkout system.


Just my thoughts :)

Remember, support for the latest GC Code is no longer handled in the ZC forum. It's here: http://groups.google.com/group/googl...rt-mod-support

Google Checkout NOT WORKING

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When a user adds something to cart, selects shipping, selects googlecheckout as payment module and then finish and confirms the order, nothing happens, the order is not process and it returns the the shopping cart with the item in it, so the user could go round in a massive circle and not get anywhere!!!

Please could someone help me with what going wrong? im hoping someone else has had the same issue and could tell me how to solve it.

Thanks

Hi all
I'm experiencing the same problem on a new site, anyone got any ideas what's causing this? I think I've had a similar problem with another payment module in the past, but can't remember which and why!
cheers

GC recently updated their TOS and Program Policies. GC has added some flexibility to button placement locations those who need it.

If you have questions about GC TOS or policies post Google Checkout support ;-)

Sorry it took so long to respond, we have been busy at the store. The file I changed was

/googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php

What I did, though it is sloppy since I was pressed for time, was take the entire array for $mc_shipping_methods and create two new variables -- one called $freeshipping_on and $freeshipping_off both which included the array from $mc_shipping_methods.

On $freeshipping_on, I left it exactly how the array was originally as I did not need it to change, and on $freeshipping_off I changed the free shipping array to an empty array ( 'freeoptions' => array(), ).

I then created a simple if/else statement that told the program which array to use depending on the cart total. If the cart total is above $29.99 (my free shipping quota) then the free shipping item is displayed, if not, than the free shipping option is not displayed.

 if($_SESSION['cart']->total >= "29.99"){
         $mc_shipping_methods = $freeoptions_on;
 } else { 
        $mc_shipping_methods = $freeoptions_off;
 } 

Once I have more time I will try to pretty-it up for everyone, but since it is working at the moment, it is on the bottom of my to-do list
