Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

I think real support for this mod is now at
http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-for-zen-cart-mod-support

I'm tearing my hair out with GCO, i've spent two days trying to get this to work, and am completely stuck now.

I'm no expert in this at all, but have carefully followed all instructions. I have created an account on the google sandbox for testing purposes.

From the shopping cart, when the google checkout button is clicked i receive a 'page cannot be displayed' error.

I've run the response handler test http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/tools/responsehandler_test.php and have received the following results:

Please can someone throw me a lifeline and help me get to the bottom of this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, wondering if anyone can help with this problem. I have Google Checkout with the Royal Mail contribution. My sandbox is set up and I've got all my shipping methods into the shipping_methods.php. No errors on the shopping cart page, but I am getting this error when pressing the googlecheckout button to make a purchase:-

Thankyou.

Looks like I've found an answer. Just had to shorten all my sentances! :smile:

I get this error: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

I alsoI tried the responsehandler test at:https://demo.globant.com/

Invalid or not supported Message

Everything else works fine though, but the responsehandler isn't relaying my settings over.

I need some serious help with the shipping part of GC.

I have read 63 of the 101 pages on this thread and I am none the wiser.

The error I get is

• There are multiple shipping options selected and they use different shipping tax tables or some dont use tax tables

and in the admin

Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed ForTM "Packet" rm1stpacketsf not configured!

Royal Mail International Signed For® "Small Packet" rmamisfsmallpacket not configured!

Royal Mail specialdelivery® next day specialdelivery not configured!

What am I doing wrong.

Eddie

Anyone on Royal Mail settings above?

Hi
I believe I solved this by creating an tax class called Freight, and setting it to 0. Then you can apply this tax to free shipping, and Google accepts it. Sorry I can't be sure, but I tried about 1000 variations when trying to get Google set up. The good news - it does work! Good luck.

Thanks for the info - but this didn't work for me.

[Set up as you, I think]

Can you confirm exactly what you did and how you have it set, or anyone else please!!!

Will this module work with 1.3.6? I'd like to add it but I am not ready to move to 1.3.7 ....

Hi,

I have gotthe checkout working but when i go throught to google, VAT is not charged to the basket. However it is charged correctly at 17.5% on the site for all other checkout options.

Can anyone shed some light?

I have installed GC module as per instruction with Sandbox account but when I clikc GC button I get a page Error 400 bad request. I need help!

If anyone wants to check I got a Level 2 integration **working **in production of google checkout-zc-1.4.5 and zencart-1.3.7.1 at http://isooz.com

Took me a few days to set it up, but the longest I had to wait was for the webhosting company http://www.webcity.com.au to install the SSL certificate, they were a little slow.

My host has the setting 'allowoverride' set to NONE, i believe for GCO to work i need to have this as 'authconfig' so how and where do i set this?

I tried to do this in a .htaccess file, but since I'm new to this i'm not sure if i'm doing it right.

Please help.

I've finally got it working!!!!!!!!!

basically, my host told me that they did have 'allowoverride authconfig' on my virtual server (or whatever the correct term is), but they did spot the mistake in my .htsccess file which I would never have known...the path to the .htpwd was missing some directories before 'var/www/html' - so be sure to double check with your host that this is indeed the full path to a certain file.

GC, discount coupons and gift certificates! Oh, my!

Scenario one, only gift certificates in the cart: Google goes by the rules and refuses to apply a discount coupon.

Scenario two, any other non-virtual store item in the cart along with the gift certificate(s): Google applies the coupon to everything (gift cert. included)!

I can't allow people to purchase gift certificates with a discount applied. Any ideas, thoughts, comments, etc.?

Info: all of the directions followed to a T on creating gift certificates and everything on Zen cart side working great. Hey, even Google's working great as long as you don't buy something non-virtual along with it.

Thanks in advance!

GC, discount coupons and gift certificates! Oh, my!

REVISED:

GC, discount coupons and "deny" items! Oh, my!

Problem: When cart is filled with "deny coupon" items along with "allow coupon" items, GC allows coupon to be applied to the entire purchase.

Details:
Google Checkout seems to apply coupons to items it should denying when the cart is mixed with allowed items (not just gift certificates as I thought in the prev. post).

Settings: Discount Coupons Product/Category Restrictions with a deny on gift certificates and other non-virtual test products.

When cart has just "deny coupon" items: no coupons are allowed. Yeah! :clap:

When cart is filled with "deny coupon" items & "allow coupon" items: coupons are allowed. Ugh! :frusty:

Thanks for any help!

I have installed GC module as per instruction with Sandbox account but when I clikc GC button I get a page Error 400 bad request. I need help!

I tried all options of module but still the same problem "bad request"

Hi guys, I know this has been an issue for a few people now....

I have installed google checkout (on two seperate installs of zen cart on different servers both running php 4.3.1 to see if it was an error the first time I tried) I have an activated google checkout merchant account aswell. I have entered the merchant ID and merchant key, everything going fine up until here...

When I go to make a test purchase to see if google checkout is available I can select it as a payment option on 'step 2 of 3 payment information'. I then press the continue to checkout button, which then takes me to '3 of 3 order confirmation' if I confirm the order it takes me straight back to my shopping cart contents.

I am unsure if I have successfully configured the ssl callback on google, could this be the reason for the checkout 'loop', if so is there any usefull documentation on ssl implementation for GCO + ZC?

At no point on my site do I see the google checkout 'button' only the choice to select GCO as a payment option via the radial checkbox.

thanks very much to anyone who can help me.

I have also tried this with a sandbox account which gives me exactly the same result
