Checkout by Amazon Zen Cart Plug-in

scatzc:

Will it work with version 1.3.8a too? If not, how difficult is it to tweak it to fit an operational 1.3.8a store?

Yes. it will work for 1.3.8a too.

I installed the Amazon Checkout plug in and ran a test order through the sandbox and everything worked fine. Received notification from Zencart to merchant email and 'customer' email.

Today I received a notification from amazon that I had an official checkout by amazon order and to ship. Everything seems fine on the amazon end, but in my Zencart, there is no record of the order or customer and the merchandise total in stock has not been adjusted to show the purchase. Not sure why the sandbox order worked and the real one didn't. Any suggestions on what's going on?

Have you configured the IOPN? It should be starting with HTTPS. Have you configured the CRON job?

All fixed. Thanks. Did not realize the sandbox and the regular website had to be configured individually.

when I plug in CAZ, I can set it up in admin, however I did not see any Amazon box on my website, I have google checkout but it did not work , so I just remove it from admin. SoI do not know where I did wrong for my Amazon checkout.

v1.3.9d

thanks

Hi,

Please check the Installation guide and follow the same. you need to edit template files to get the button show up in the shopping cart page.

thanks, the thing is i can not see the page
http://isparkling.com/checkout_by_amazon.php
why?
do i need modify the .php, like install information said? and I did try to modify that .php, however I get fail information.

It is not a UI page. It is used for other purposes. once you enabled the plugin, try adding the product to the shopping cart. you should be able to view the checkout by amazon button below the shopping cart.

Thanks, do I need do EXISTING INSTALL or fresh install, since I have google checkout but it did not work, I remove it. :no:

If you have a live site, then use the existing installation. if you are setting up the store for the first time, use Fresh Install.

A while ago I introduced a way on getting the cron "wget" to work with Zencart which involved deleting the entry of "wget" from spiders.txt inside the /zencart/includes directory.

After doing some testing on my (semi-)live server, I HIGHLY suggest the following change:

Open /zencart/checkout_by_amazon.php and look for:

require('includes/application_top.php');
```**IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THIS LINE**, on the prior line, add the following:

```php
define('SESSION_BLOCK_SPIDERS','False');
```So your checkout_by_amazon.php should look like this:

```php
define('SESSION_BLOCK_SPIDERS','False');
require('includes/application_top.php');
```Once this is done, go back and edit back in the word "wget" on a line by itself on spiders.txt. This way you don't open your ENTIRE site up to remote wget attacks.

thanks, I will go with existing install since I have paypal on my website, hope my understanding is right, however when I Modifying tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
i get this fail message, althgouh I can see the line I added.

open tpl_shopping_cart_default.php failed: Permission denied at cpanel line 4988

thanks all, it works right now, what I did is modify the tpl_shopping_cart_default.php which is under my template not in template default.I am going to test it right now.

hi, again, I did see the amazon checkout box, I did order one product,however nowhere I can find the order report, not in my zen cart admin or in sell center of amazon, anything could be wrong. thanks lot.

Again not work yet, no order shows anywhere, but buyer did get the confirm email.

1. so how do I updated the correct end point in the Merchant URL under Settings > Checkout Pipeline Settings > Instant Order Processing Notification Settings in seller central?

2. how about corn code, how to do that :frusty::frusty::frusty:

2. how about corn code, how to do that :frusty::frusty::frusty:

1. To update the correct endpoint, you'd have to edit this in AmazonCentral. Also make sure that you're doing this under Sandbox and that your configuration details match those registered under ZenCart.

2. This generally depends on your host. If you have a host that uses CPanel, this is VERY easily done by a few clicks. If you're on a Windows based server, we're going to need to work a bit.

thanks, although I still did not know what I should put in Merchant URL box, is this https://www.isparkling.com/checkout-php?
I use CPanel, so what I should do next, please help.

isparkling.com

Here are my settings...

Cancel Payment Return Settings - The home page of the cart

Instant Order Payment Notification URL should be - the home page of the cart/checkout_by_amazon.php.

For CPanel, log in to CPanel and scroll to the (normally) bottom of the page and look for Cron Jobs. Most hosts do not have this option enabled.

I did exactly setting part like you said, execpt cron job, I will try it.
and I check the error log get this I do not understand, thanks

my host did not allow to set cron job less than 30min, so can I set up every 30min?
