Checkout by Amazon Zen Cart Plug-in

um ok thanks so have to create a special return page just for amazon checkout ... awesome...

also can someone tell me how to use their new inline fully integrated system (the NEW amazon checkout or is this not possible yet?

thanks

John

ok so from what I have gathered, the inline (express checkout module) has nothing to do with this plug and involves extensive programming to make it work.

if someone can correct me on this I would love that, but I have seen nothing in the documentation.

Amazon wont help me on it, says its a 3rd party product, so try contacting them, but no one on the forums here, seems to know what to do with the inline express checkout module either....

can you say rock and a hardplace?

Basically I need to know how to make the checkout by amazon work with their INLINE widget so it carries through the steps on my stores site as per their advertisements about this great new feature... pretty useless if its not even a part of the actualy plug-in??

thanks!

Is this on a live/production run? Or Sandbox server?

Hi guys,

I found a bug in the amazon checkout code. Here is what happens

1. browse the site and add something to my cart, click on my regular checkout button and LOGIN to my zencart, zencart then pops up with a "THIS PAGE CONTAINS SECURE AND UNSECURE INFORMATION etc..." message as it is returning me to the shopping cart page because it has MERGED my cart with stuff i had already browserd for in the past. The returning link is an HTTPS link (the shopping cart page is normally just http)

if i disable the amazon checkout, the warning goes away.

so basically all of the conenctions used in the amazon checkout module are NOT secure this producing an error when viewing the shopping cart page using https !! I really find this hard to believe that a PAYMENT checkout module is not done with all secure links.

I have not found a way to edit any sort of code sinec I dont actually see anything on the code from this end that would indicate an insecure link, so I think it must be pulling it from the js code on amazons side of things.

anyone with moer details on this and or how to fix this issue would be appreciated.

Not sure how to fix it, but it works fine for me.

what version of the module are you using? the newest one?

also what checkout script are you using, i really like it!

John

The first release from the start of this thread. I haven't done any bugfixes, since dates in ZC don't really matter to me, not sure if that would cause your problem though.

The checkout mod is AJAX by Rubik Integration

What is the deal with the module? Is it working for anyone out there? What happened to Bala this modules developer?

Please get in touch with me as I am at a standstill.

I just ran into a bug and I don't have time to read the whole thread to see if it's been reported, so here it is for Amazon, or users that this may affect.

If you are using inventory in ZenCart and you have the option set to not allow checkout if there are insufficient quantities of a product added to the cart, and the customer uses Amazon to check out, that setting is ignored. In other words if a customer orders 20 widgets and your inventory says you have 10, the warning will show up in the shopping cart that there are insufficient widgets, but the customer can click the Amazon button to check out and it will let the customer check out....which of course I found this because a customer did just that and now I'm going through the hell trying to reach someone that can tell me how to do a partial refund since it isn't apparent or documented in the Amazon selling manager.

Has any one got this working with Ceon URI Mapping?

If I turn URI mapping off it works great, turn it on you can complete the order but fails when amazon tries to return to your site.

You may want to add a HTTP directive to the .htaccess file. I'm not sure which directive to add though.

This thread leads me to the conclusion that the Amazon Checkout plug in is a bit dicy. Is there a good reason to attempt it?

Who is running it now with success?

Can the buyer choose Amazon Checkout as an option?

Do I still use my merchant account with authorize.net or does it go through another Amazon merchant account?

Some clarity will be appreciated.
Thanks so much.

We're running it with no problems at all on two websites.
Our buyers have the options of paying via credit card (Authorize.net), PayPal or Checkout by Amazon.

The only continuing glitch I've run into is it messes with the CSS when the buyer is returned to the site. All it does though is change the link colors to blue so it's not a huge issue. As soon as they click a link and go to another page, everything returns to normal.

Hope this helps.

I am having trouble getting shipping and tax call backs to work. The module works fine (so far) and completes the order if I don't do call backs, but I don't want have to deal with setting up tax and shipping rates in multiple places. With callbacks enabled the Amazon side says it can't complete the order. On my server I get the following error:

PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/html/test/checkout_by_amazon/library/order_callback_processor.php on line 280

Does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate any help given.

Ok, had more time to work on this. Amazon Error Console under OrderCalculationCallbacks I gettinng the following error:

The OrderCalculationsResponse could not be validated. Details: The XML could not be validated against the schema [cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element 'ShippingMethod' is not complete. One of '{"http://payments.amazon.com/checkout/2009-05-15/":ShippingMethodId}' is expected.].
On my server I am getting the following myDEBUG error
PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/html/test/checkout_by_amazon/library/order_callback_processor.php on line 280
I have set the Instant Order Processing Notification Settings, both Merchant and Integrator URL (since the instructions are not clear) to point back to my checkout_by_amazon.php. I have filled in all the settings on the module with my Amazon data. Is there something I am missing here?

Also, I noticed that the test orders that did not use the callback only filled in the shipping address data and not the billing address data on the zen side. Is that normal?

This module has been a pain to install. Has anyone run into the issue where the module does not show up as a payment method in the checkout 2 of 3 section?

How about having issues with the Amazon Checkout not working with Money orders enabled?

Hi

This module will never show up as a payment method. Instead, it will show a "checkout with amazon" button in the shopping cart page.

Checkout by Amazon should not create any issue w.r.t Money orders.

Is there any way to install the module so that it works with checkout after the second page? It would be nice to have this option so that I may have users confirm terms and conditions.

This guide provides information on how to use Checkout by Amazon as an alternate payment method on the payments page of your standard checkout. Plug-in does not support it as of now.
