Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[misty]

we wanted to start using the
module straight away once it was functioning order-wise.

If you do not get googlecheckout working correctly in Sandbox mode
first, as instructions state, then you will have problems getting
Live mode installed/working.

Hi everyone. I'm having a few issues with my implementation of the GC module in ZenCart. If anything I post here has already been discussed/resolved in this thread, I apologize. I just don't have the time to sift through 250 pages this stuff. As a disclaimer, I have read in their entirety the INSTALLATION and README files supplied with the GC module and have made exhaustive attempts to seek answers on my own before posting here. With that said, here is some preliminary information about my setup:

ZenCart Version: 1.3.8
GoogleCheckout Version: 1.4.7

- I am using GoogleCheckout exclusively for processing orders. I have removed the default Checkout button from my templates to prevent users from clicking on it.
- I have set up a Sandbox account for testing purposes and it is working fine.

Here are the problems I am currently having:

1. When users are NOT logged in to a ZenCart store account before placing an order, the process goes as follows:
- User fills cart
- User proceeds to Google Checkout
- User confirms order
- User is returned to the "checkout_success" page of my site, but their shopping cart is still full.

2. If a user does not create a ZenCart store account, and proceeds to place an order, the process goes as follows:
- User fills cart
- User proceeds to Google Checkout
- User confirms order
- User is returned to my site, but is shown the "time_out" page, prompting them to enter their ZenCart store account login and password.

Both of these situations are problematic and will no doubt be extremely confusing to shoppers...

3. Orders appear in the Google Checkout admin site, allowing me to charge and process the orders. However, they do not appear in the ZenCart admin site.

4. I am having a great deal of trouble getting responsehandler.php to work, and this could very likely be the cause of the above issues. I am 99% sure that my web host is not using PHP as a CGI module (mod_php4 appears as one of Apache's loaded modules) and thus I have disabled the .htaccess method of authentication for responsehandler.php. I have set the permissions for responsehandler.php to 755 and 777 for both of the log files. However, the Google Checkout Integration Console and ropu's Responsehandler Test page both return a 403 Forbidden error.

This is my biggest problem at this point. I believe if I can get responsehandler.php to work, my other issues will be resolved as well.

Thanks in advance!

I am having a great deal of trouble getting responsehandler.php to work, and this could very likely be the cause of the above issues.

1. Did you alter zencart googlecheckout admin settings to your correct
configuration for LIVE mode?
2. Do you have an acceptable level SSL cert that is approved by googlecheckout?
3. URL of your site is?

1. Did you alter zencart googlecheckout admin settings to your correct configuration for LIVE mode?

As I stated, I am currently using Google Checkout in Sandbox mode. Everything in the ZenCart administration panel is set up to facilitate this mode of operation.

2. Do you have an acceptable level SSL cert that is approved by googlecheckout?

I am in the process of getting an SSL Certificate, but that should not present a problem at this point because Sandbox does not require SSL.

3. URL of your site is?

http://cafeamoria.com - We have a few "dummy" products set up for testing purposes. Feel free to make a test account and mess around with it as much as you want, all the accounts will be cleared when we go live.

Thanks misty! :)

1. We are currently running Google Checkout in Sandbox mode, so all settings in ZenCart are configured to facilitate this mode of operation.

2. I am in the process of securing an SSL Certificate, but since Sandbox doesnt require SSL, this should not be an issue at this time.

3. http://cafeamoria.com - Feel free to make a test account and mess around. We have a couple "dummy" products up for testing purposes.

Thanks misty.

1. We are running in Sandbox mode at the moment, so everything is set up to facilitate that mode of operation.

2. We are working on getting our SSL Certificate installed, but that shouldnt be an issue at the moment since we are using Sandbox.

3. Our site is cafeamoria.com. We have a couple "test" products up, so feel free to make an account and mess around with whatever you like. I dont think you can break anything at this point.

P.S. Is someone deleting my posts? I've had to repost this three times now...

Visited site.. checked your responsehandler.php,
which seems to be working ok...
HOWEVER.. your site is slow loading..has to load quicker
than 3 secs for googlecheckout to work.. test for yourself
at
http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/...ndler_test.php
ADDENDUM: Do you have correct settings at your Googlecheckout Sandbox admin page
at Google?

Thats very peculiar how all my other posts suddenly showed up. Hmm.

I'm not sure what criteria you used to determine that my responsehandler is functioning correctly, because ropu's test page and the Google Checkout Integration console are both showing that responsehandler is returing Error 403's. As far as speed goes, ropu's test page shows that responsehandler consistently loads in well under half a second. I am certain that all settings at Google Checkout are set correctly; Google Checkout is calling my responsehandler.php page and getting a response, just not the intended one.

Payment Information.

Help. What am I supposed to use on the Zen Cart Payment Information page so that people can checkout with Google on that page if they skip past the Google checkout button?

I am in live mode.
