Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[greenhat]

Hi greenhat,

And thanks for the response. You know- I've been suspisious of GoDaddy being the problem but am juggling so many other things with trying to get my store to the point of being 'live' that I guess I just didn't want to face the probablility of having to move to another host. But maybe that's the answer (still hoping for 'a fix' from any of the rest of you out there).

As to using Google Calculated Shipping rates: that doesn't work for my situation either. I offer check/money order payments and the Google Calculated Shipping rates do not show up on the Zen Cart Check Out page.

Let me know how moving from GoDaddy goes for you and I'll do the same if I decide that a move is all that I can do in order to go forward. (any one else? don't be shy ... help a Zenner out).

unfortunately, im now very sure that this is the only solution. just search for "godaddy" here.. you'll see so many posts complaining about their service. here's an example: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107346
and there are many many more..
im definitely moving.

Wow. Just looked at that posted example link ... rather enlightening. And I can add that when trying to get some help from GoDaddy support recently, in relating an error that mentions something about SQL and 'Zencart' and that occurs when trying to bring up or reload my store page... the reply from GD support was something like "yeah ... sorry but we don't answer questions about 3rd party applications' -even though I used their Zencart Installer that is bundled in their basic hosting package. And the answer looked sort of 'canned' (righhhhht ...)

So here's the new question (though not barring the possibility of a reply to the original question, which was basically: 'why don't Google Check Out work with Real Time Shipping rates?' (refer to original post by SpeedCreed, 3 or 4 posts up) ... NEW QUESTION: So then, which hosting provider have you found to be most compatible with Zen Cart running Google Check Out and Real Time Shipping while still being economical (cheap) like GoDaddy?

i wish i knew.. the official answer here is to check out the list of "certified hosts":

here 's the summary of the hosts i've been looking at:

but i dont have an answer for you yet.. i think i will just try one of them and do some tests before repointing the domain name.

SETUP: I am using ZenCart 1.3.8a + Google Checkout module v.1.4.7

LIVE, not SANDBOX

PROBLEM:

Nearly everything is working properly except for:

1. email confirmations (from the ZC store) to buyer and admin are not being sent for GC processed orders.
2. Order status changes made from ZC are not reflected on the GC order status page. For example, if i cancel an order in the GC admin page i will immediately see the order cancelled in ZC. If I cancel an order in ZC, the change will never occur on the on GC page.


Everything else related to order processing is working properly to my knowledge and the information is being passed between the two correctly.

RELATED:

I am seeing the same behavior mentioned in this post here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2699 and this post here: http://groups.google.com/group/googl...0228892a802923

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

My email is managed by google, which i am assuming is related the problem, however.....

If i place an order but use another payment method, both the admin and buyer receive a confirmation email from the address set in email options.
If i send an email from the ZC email 'Send Email To Customers' form it works properly.
If i configure a third party smtp server in email options and set email to SMTPAUTH there is still no confirmation mails send from Zen. I was assuming that the google checkout module used the email settings from ZC, but perhaps it is using something else entirely?

Since the emails sent from ZC are not actually using the google servers, why doesn't the Google Checkout module send confirmation messages using the same method? (ie, PHP, sendmail or whatever is setup and working.) ?

And yes my MX records are properly set to: MX 0 aspmx.l.google.com.

MY POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

I intend to only use google checkout for this site, so would it be prudent to simply remove all account related functions from ZC? It seems drastic, but i'm actually quite impressed with the google checkout order process updating procedure so i wouldn't find doing it all from there and merely using ZC as a log of previous orders. At this point, the customers are not receiving the password that should be sent during the order process, so my options are dwindling. They can use the 'forgot my password' link to get a new one, but that's a lame workaround.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

I'm having the same issue as this person. I wasn't able to find an answer in the thread so I'm hoping someone knows how to fix it.

I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Google Checkout 1.4.7.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class googlecheckout in /home2/respite/public_html/shoppingcart/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php on line 308

I haven't seen this issue in the forum so I thought I'd see if anyone else has seen this. I've had GC installed and running fine for a few months or so I thought. It seems GC is only recognizing the first product in the shopping cart. If there is more than one product, it disregards it. If a qty of more than one is purchased of one product, GC sees it just fine. If there are more than 1 product in the cart, only the first one gets passed to GC. We reviewed all our GC orders over the past few months and low and behold, all orders have only 1 product in them. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

misscharlotte:

Did you back up before adding GC?

Check to see if you missed something in the admin code.

Can you show us what's at line 308?

Also, tell me how you got the GC button on the shopping cart and login?

I figured out my issue. Another person in the post mentioned their cannot be two files with the same name. I went back to my original zip file and the installation instructions. There are suppose to be two file with the same name (googlecheckout.php) installed at two different locations. It wasn't until I opened each file individually that I realized each of these "googlecheckout.php"s contained different code. I copied one of the files to one directory and other other file to another directory. It works fine now. I have no error messages.

Nobody has responded to my earlier question so I'm reposting in hopes that someone else has had this issue with GC.

I have not observed this issue. Review the XML in your local googlecheckout log files, to ensure multiple items are included in the XML.

Also may want to check the error log in your GC account.
