Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[games4gamers]

I have switched my site to Production (after it all worked fine in Sandbox) and now when I try to hit Google Checkout it goes to the GC page and just says "Oops error" or something like that...is that just a generic error message or...?

Edit: Just checked the log and it says:

"Mon Dec 29 15:27:17 MST 2008:- Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers"

Is Google Checkout Sandbox testing supposed to clear the shopping cart and show each purchase in the Admin panel? ...Or is that only in Production mode?

What is your domain? Let's try this out.

Have you gone through the tools, settings,orders, and integration to see if there are any errors and your orders are appearing correctly?

Make sure Google can talk to your https://site.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

I think I discovered part of the problem. Earlier I had set the permissions for the entire http//your-site/googlecheckout/ folder to 777, so that I could experiment with the .htaccess Basic Authentication Mode script. Then I forgot to set it back to 755. This caused a 500 internal server error for googlecheckout/responsehandler.php because it was group writable.

I also noticed that purchases do not show up in admin panel if the googlecheckout folder chmod is set to 744 or 754. Alas, 755 seems to be the only setting that works for me.

Now my orders show up in admin but do not clear the shopping cart.

Still working on it.

I have a problem with google checkout not sending the province/state to zen cart when a person makes an order. Does anyone have a similar problem to this?

Help!

GC stopped charging State Taxes. What happened?

I have been using this since last year and now why it stopped charging sales tax, I don't know. Under taxes, it still knows I collect my States taxes.

Does anyone by any chance know where to change the sort order of the shipping options displayed when a customer is checking out using GCO? The default right now is showing UPS and I'd like to change that.

We currently offer UPS and USPS shipping but when customers are checking out the first option they see is UPS Ground and we want to change that USPS First Class.

Thanks!

I think this depends on which generation method you are using.

If you have Carrier Calculated Shipping set to "true" then the Google Checkout site creates the shipping price list itself and I don't think you can change it. (This probably comes from a database of prices.) If, however, you have Carrier Calculated Shipping set to "false" then Google uses your store (real time) Calculations. It knows what methods you have enabled because your site sends a file called ../googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php. (Or at least, it uses this file to build a list.) You could try changing the order of the methods listed in this file but I don't know if that will do it or not. You could also try running the shipping_generator utility that came with GC. Again, I don't know if the generator even obeys the sort order of your admin shipping modules page but it is worth a try.

This is as close as I can get you to an answer. You are on your own from here. Good luck.

Thanks, we use merchant calculated shipping and I tried your suggestions prior to posting and it made no difference. Inside our shipping_methods.php file, UPS is not the first array so I don't think that's where GCO is getting the sort order from. I even change each shipping option name to be numeric and GCO first first by UPS and USPS and then numeric within that. It's a mystery for sure where the sort order is defined (at least for now). I do however wonder if the cc_shipping_methods.php file controls it since that's the only place I see UPS listed ahead of USPS even though we are not using carrier calculated.
