Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

My brain hurts - decided to go the Google route as HSBC were not a lot of help (please note - that last line contains massive amounts of understament)
copied our live shop to a test location on the same server. We had/have the google check out working - kind of - im probably being thick so PLEASE help before my brain explodes.
WITH original CC modules still installed - we were able to click on the google check out - pay via the sandbox enviroment - order accepted and paid for - email send to me as the purchaser. The order was not sent back to the shop - which has confused me slightly.
The shop was offering to alow us to check out via the old standard CC module (we proccess payments off line due complicated shipping - the other project being worked on atm) or google via the google checkout button. so wanting to FORCE people to go the google route I diasabled the CC module - now I am being told "we dont ship to your area"

I am running into some problems that I want to fix.
But every time i go to check something like:

http://www.mysite.com/googlecheckout/shipping_generator
or
http://www.mysite.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

I get a prompt asking me for my username and password
(None of any works! )

What am i doing wrong? What U & P are they looking for? Zen, My Server? Google??

:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

I still cant get in... I need to add my Percentage Shipping Module.
How can I add this??

Hey Milo,

I think it wants your google checkout U & P. try the email you use to login to gc, and that pw as well.

Another thought is do you have an account setup at the shipping company your trying to setup? If not, set one up at ups, fedex, or usps for shippers and then try that username/password.

You may have a zone in the gc mod, or another payment mod. Remove the zone because it thinks you only want to do business in that zone.

That's why it says, we don't ship to your area, because your testing with a zip that is not included in the zone that is in the payment mod, whichever that mod is.

I'm having a problem with my responsehandler.php file. I get the following error.

Is there someway to override this?
Look in some file?

Here is my problem... Google checkout is working.
However it is not applying any shipping.

Google Products has my Google Checkout next to my items so they know
I have it configured, I heard this may increase sales so I dont really want to mess with it.

All I want to do is somehow get in there and configure my shipping by Percentage module...

Thanks

Okay I am a bit further on - I apear to be accepting payments - though the ordcers are not being passed backed to my test cart. Looking on the google side of things I am getting this error

We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.eliseparts.com/testshop2/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php; the error we got is: Send failed with code: 400. Response body was: Invalid or not supported Message

which I am guessing, is something fairly basic wrong

the other thing I have noticed is that I apear not to HAVE to be logged into my zen cart to buy via google -is this correct ??

Thanks for the help so far

FYI ....
running zc1.3.6, gco 1.4.1beta12
site is as scanpancookware.com
problems found as follows

a) modules that use OT (order total) , the order total discount is passed to GCO, but the amount is not ... passed as $0. I have a module "bigspenderdiscount" from thatsoftwareguy, big spender discount is passed, but discount $$ value is not. Wishlist says that OT processing is repaired in 1.4 , seems maybe not.
b) I have active coupons in ZC, but these are not being activated in GCO...
c) i have table rate ship rates for the USA + UPS for non contiguous USA + custom UPS canada UPS for canada ..... however when i checkout with a USA address, its listing the default ship options/amounts for the UPS zone (non USA) even though the table rate should be the only ship option showing in the GCO checkout page.

If anyone out there has done the port of GCO to super_orders.php , please let me know ......

any help on the above items is most appreciated.

How do you fix a slow server? The shipping showed up the first time I tested but now it does not and it's going just to the defaults, which are crazy high to cover all my bases. I searched the thread and so no answer to this. Anyone?

ropu:

Angel, you should do two things.

First disable the default checkout button,.

in default installation includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
line 132

Then in the login page you should also add a redirect to index.php?main_page=shopping_cart this will avoid buyer to enter regular checkout through there.

im pretty sure thats all you need to do.

you can also remove from googlecheckout/gcheckout.php line 521 this code

<td align="right" valign="middle" class = "main"> <B><?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_TEXT_OPTION ?> </B> </td> ``` > > so **- Or use - **string is not shown > > ropu

I was wondering if someone could elaborate on adding the redirect in the login page. I was able to take care of the other steps, but I can't find where in the tpl_login_default.php is the code that is sending the user to checkout_shipping

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me...

I've done the above to effectively cut out the checkout_shipping page of the cart to force Googlecheckout to be my only viable payment option.

HOWEVER, my cart offers group discounts and the discounts are only applied IF the user is logged into the shopping cart first. So, if user buys £1000 worth of merchandise, user gets a 2% discount which has been confirmed to be working in Google Checkout with all the relevant info passing back to the shopping cart. However, if guest puts same items into cart and then clicks on the Google checkout, guest is charged full rates.

What I'd like to do is wrap the Google checkout button in an if statement and here is where my knowledge and ability conflict.

I want something like:

<if> logged in
      Then Google Checkout
<else> login / register </else>
</if>

Hope that makes sense, basically I only want the cart to be passed to Google if user has already logged into their account. If not logged in, checking out first takes them to login screen then on to google.

In an ideal world this will be transparent so it'll either checkout if logged in or redirect to login/register page then to checkout... But if not possible to pass from login to google, I can live with a "login to checkout button" and then once a session is validated, the "login to checkout button" is replaced with a "check out with Google button".

Thank you in advance for any help/advice in this matter!

How do you implement International purchasing? I have a buyer from Mexico and they said that GC is not accepting it.

Any suggestions?

If any of these issues are with version 1.4, you will have a good chance of connecting with the developer (ropu) at:

Hi--

Does anyone know how to configure Google Checkout and Zen Cart so that digital download products can be instantly downloaded after the charge for an order is approved?

So far, I have been able to set up a store that requires each order to be manually approved before the customer can download their purchased product, but since our products don't cost very much, I would like to enable instant downloading so that customers can purchase and download when I am away from the store.

I found a site called "e-junkie.com" that offers instant downloads with Google Checkout, so I know this must be possible. However, I want to stick with using Zen Cart, since I want to host the entire store on my own site.

Thanks.

fitnessbymarilyn:

Well I am not sure if Google has these things or not but I assume they do as these sites were designed for professional/educational/IT/corporations with a smaller version for home/small business...Google is my host and my domain is with Go Daddy. I think you are the one who told me Google doesn't support CSS so I uninstalled all of your files/logos/ etc. (Zen Cart) that I have spent the past week day and night installing.....I installed PHP5 to my computer to be sure as well.

Marilyn-

I have been away for a week plus thus the reason for this latent reply.

I am confused by your reply above. I've had not had any prior communication with you. Only posts I have made to you were via this thread. So I certainly did not say to anyone that "Google does not support CSS". I don't even know what that means... Google is a company with many products/services so such a blanket statement would be ambiguous at the least ;-)

If you installed PHP on your computer then you must have already installed a webhost environment on your computer. But then you stated GoDaddy is your webhost. So why you would install PHP on your computer is not understood, unless you are also using your computer for a web development or demo environment?

I highly suggest you visit the ZC support forum board related to installing Zen Cart.
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

And/or contract with a consultant to work though the concepts. You may want to discuss with your webhost (GoDaddy) before installing Zen Cart.

At any rate this thread is not for supporting Zen Cart installation, or for supporting "Google Apps" or any other Google product/service or Zen Cart functionality which is not directly related to the GC mod for ZC.

After you have ZC installed and working correctly then you can install the GC mod. For support for latest version of the GC mod for ZC please visit http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-for-zen-cart-mod-support

Good luck,

See response to your post on the NEW GC mod for ZC support forum.

**HINT: Hopefully all Zen Cart merchants whom have been, for the last several weeks, posting to this thread issues/questions related to the GC v.1.4x mod, now fully understand that OFFICIAL support for the v.1.4x mod is now provided at http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-for-zen-cart-mod-support

Ok it all seems to work, apart from the main bug, which ropu now knows about.

When you install this 1.4.1beta1 version, it works in sandbox, but when you use the real url you google button will disappear and links to

http://cbgtest18.corp.google.com

this is a mistake they made in the code... goto

/googlecheckout/library/googlecart.php
Comment out line 131
Uncomment line 130

Ropu forgot to comment out entry he uses only for testing purposes. :clap:

Im surprised there doesnt seem to be much action on this thread, isn't everyone excited that google checkout works!!

bear with me...
