Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[unhappyDAVE]

FOr the blank screen- i would have to say it means something is not setup correctly. HOwever, if your redirected to google and then in the GC you get the screen i think something is wrong with google. If you log back into your google account are the orders there? or are the no where to be found. after ordering on GC you should get a google screen which will advertise for google and have a redirect link back to your store.

I have no expierence with this screen but i have posted a lot of steps in the last week or two on this mod.

Milo- are you getting the error message in the ssandbox or production or both. Also, i went on your site tried to order like 50 of something and thenm google goes gray- google won't take orders on out of stock items. But hereis maybe a solution-
inflate your inventory numbers on everything that is low- then keep track of them to see when someone buys something you dont have- if oyu don't i figure your going to have people leaving because you are out of stock- this predicament sucks if you planned to let people order out of stock items and then just ship them when they came in.-

I went in and looked to see if there where orders there was nothing there. I do not know what could be wrong? Going crazy trying to find out. I went through the steps one by one again and still getting the same thing can someone give me a clue what the problem could be with getting a blank screen after you hit the process button. It just goes blank and says error at the top with nothing explaining what the error is?

Help please!!!!!

hello everyone,

does this module work if we use it on the local host first for testing? I'm asking because the paypal module doesn't work on local host, it has to be tested online. Thanks

I liked the way zen handled it. It made a red <--- next to the item.

Actually its just the red thats gone... the "***-> " is still there.

Is there anyway just to add the functionality back? I have so many skus it would be just to hard to keep track. Thats why I installed the Qty by attributes stock.

I would hate to take google checkout out because of this...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35021 bytes) in /[[internal server path redacted]]/admin/includes/classes/table_block.php on line 77

I get the above error when I try to install the Google Checkout module (v1.4.7) in admin > Modules > Payment (v1.3.8a).

Afterwards the mod is active in default mode with a sandbox setting, but no Merchant ID, etc. Shopping cart will show a grey GCO button with some accompanying "sandbox"-related messages.

I'm using mod v1.4.7 in ZC 1.3.8a, but in a test store. There are quite a few other mods installed, too many to list, but the same GCO mod is running in our production store in v1.3.7 with all the other mods as well. I seem to recall running into GCO problems in 1.3.8a and thought there were serious version conflicts. So for several months we've avoided upgrading, hoping a solution would appear on the forum. But apparently many ZC sites are using GCO v.1.4.7 in ZC v1.3.8a successfully, so ours may be an individual problem.

Any hints as to how I can attack this error? I've tried to backtrack from table_block.php via the Developers Toolkit to see what might be calling it at this time, but the trail runs dead very quickly. I've searched this thread, and in fact the entire Zen Cart forum, for "Allowed memory size" without any hits. Words of wisdom, even if prefaced by "You idiot! All you need to do is...", would be gratefully and humbly appreciated.

I suspect there may be some further test site problems that won't show in production due to the fact that our test store is a subfolder under our production store, but with "Down for Maintenance" turned on. This was the way my company owner and our host support decided to set it up to avoid buying additional SSL certs, but SSL has always been hit-and-miss at the test store level. Even so, I don't think that's related to this error, but may be waiting for me down the road. (Even with "Down for Maintenance" turned off, the same memory error occurs when I try to install the mod.)

Why has the zen team not wrote Google Check Out in with one of their new releases that works properly? This is one of the longest and most popular threads for a check out method which is very important to a lot of merchants.

I am a bit clueless why Google Checkout is still (beta)... Do we need some donations to make the zen team work a bit harder on it?

I'm having problems with GC. The shipping options I have installed are freeoptions (free over $70) and a flat rate for everything else.

When someone checks out via GC, they can select freeoptions as their shipping option and it won't charge them shipping, regardless of what their actual order is.

Is there a way to adjust this via GC? Or is it something in Zen that I need to adjust. Thanks for any help.

After problems getting the correct shipping prices from the google checkout module (basically I was always getting the default ones which means some problem in the communication with my server) I found that commenting out the two calculate_coupon lines in responsehandler.php does the trick and now it works ok.

Now why... I have no idea (maybe the coupons only work in the US and I am in UK)?

I am having the same problem that dscott1966 is having. Everything appears to work fine -- the information transfers to Google Checkout and I can even enter coupon codes that are stored in Zen Cart. However, when I click the "process order" I get a blank page with the title tag "Error" and the Google Checkout Logo. No information is provided about the error on the page, and both my logs and google checkouts logs have no information about any errors.

I've emailed Google Checkout, but they say that this is a Zen Cart integration issue. I don't see how that is possible, but maybe I am wrong. Communication works fine between Zen and GC, so I just don't understand how this could be the case.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? I am stumped.

[hairydog]

I don't seem to be having the same problems, but there is a big issue for me with GC as a payment option: I can't find a way for the customer to add notes to their order when paying by GC.

Is there a fix or a workaround for this?
