Any Ideas why and how to fix this?

This thread is really bad, so hard to find anything at all, even using the search 'within the thread' options..

It needs someone to thin it out a bit, or copy the best bits into a new thread.


I have had the issues with the freeoptions shipping not being transfered to google

No matter what I try, I can only get the basic flat rate to work, but I really could do with orders over 50.00 to have free shipping, is anyone still watching this thread from google who might help with this?

I had one bit of success, I have managed to transfer two methods through to google, one flat rate, and one on the dropdown thats free ie 0.00, to do that I copied the freeoptions bit from the shipping_methods.uk.php into the shipping_methods.php

so that I have..

<?php
/**
  * File: googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php file
  */ 
$mc_shipping_methods = array(
                        'flat' => array(
                                    'domestic_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'flat' => 'Best Way',

                                           ),

                                    'international_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'flat' => 'Best Way_1',

                                           ),
                                        ),
                               'freeoptions' => array(
                                  'domestic_types' =>
                                    array(
                                          'freeoptions' => 'Free Options'
                                         ),
                                  'international_types' =>
                                    array(
                                          'freeoptions' => 'Free Options intl'
                                         )
                                   ),
                                  );

$mc_shipping_methods_names = array(
                                          'flat' => 'Flat Rate',
                                          'freeoptions' => 'Free Options',
                                        );
?>

All I have to do now, is figure some whay that the shipping_methods.php can do a check against the order value, and then only send the freeoptions 0.00 bit, instead of both, and then I think it might actually work.

Hello everyone,
I'm realy getting confused trying to install Google Checkout, does anyone have some simple steps that I can follow, or able to maybe guide me through it when they have some time? From what I can gather I should be able to just add the files into my Zencart via FTP however after doing this Googlecheckout still doesnt show as an option.

Many thanks
Dan

Does it appear in your Admin->Modules->Payment as an option? If so, did you activate it?

My shipping method is Per Unit perweight.

When people checkout using Google Checkout, the shipping cost is omitted.

Our server is not running with PHP over CGI.

What can be done to resolve this?

How does one turn off the Checkout logo?

I want it off because the shipping is inconsistent when checking out with GC.

Too many times over the years GC will offer $1.00 shipping for any level of delivery. That is terrible because either I eat the loss or cancel the order. Either way I lose.

I want GC to return to my site only when the GC invoices are paid.

When is this going to be a complete contribution? Other carts have it working right.

I have had it with a beta contribution.

Hi folks. Anyone have a clue for this.

With Merchant calculated shipping enabled, the proper rates show up on the google side just long enought to see they are correct (not just default values), and then are replaced by a yellow box saying: "You do not currently have any valid shipping methods."

The odd thing is, I do have valid methods. They show up for about three seconds and then are replaced by the above message.

I've had great success with GC on many sites, but this one has me stumped.

System is Fresh 1.3.8a, SSL, USPS, fresh install with no mods or templates other than GC and the usps patch.

The only difference is I'm working on a host I'm unfamiliar with.
(infact, migrating the site to a different server works)

Could there be some server config that may be the culprit? (I am forced to use fastCGI on this server)

I've done this often enough not to make silly config mistakes.

[kiddo]

No real resolution to the above post, but moved to a ZC certified host and no more problems.

Coolies!

What is going on with Per Unit perweight shipping to Google Checkout?

I use this method for shipping and the shipping costs never shows up in Google Checkout.

This is a major problem!

We have very large items and shipping is a major part of the cost.

How do I get my shipping costs using Per Unit perweight to Google Checkout?

HELP

Here is my shipping_methods.php

$mc_shipping_methods = array(
                        'perweightunit' => array(
                                    'domestic_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'perweightunit' => ' ',

                                           ),

                                    'international_types' =>
                                      array(
                                          'perweightunit' => ' _1',

                                           ),
                                        ),
                                  );

$mc_shipping_methods_names = array(
                                         'perweightunit' => 'Shipping &amp; Handling',
                                        );
?>

What do I need to do to get Google to take shipping costs?
