Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

i am in singapore, singapore can't use google check out?

I dun see my country in the county list,only us and uk.

Went to faq but all they say they are adding more countries.

On my checkout page, I get the Google Checkout grayed out and it says

• The Version of the installed module in the Admin UI is v1.4.6a and the one of the package is v1.4.7, Remove/Reinstall the module

Now I tried re-installing but I have the same problem.
What can I do?

Jacob
Can we still get some technical support from Zen in regards to checkout google? For example where do I find the API syntax sent back from google to the shopping cart?
Thanks for your help

Hi everyone,

This is Jacob from the Google Checkout team.

I'd like to let you know that we just released Google Checkout module for Zen Cart. This module provides Level 2 implementation of Google Checkout with Zen Cart, enabling you to provide Google Checkout to buyers and process orders through your admin UI.

This project is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-zencart where you can find the latest release at any time.

Thanks,
Jacob

If you think you are doing everything correctly (right api call back url, htaccess file created, correct merchant id & key, etc.) but the orders are still not processing in ZC admin, what worked for me is to set the responsehandler.php permissions to 744 instead of 777. When you test it on responsehandler_test.php and it says "Invalid or not supported Message" that means it is working. Do another test order and hopefully it'll show up on admin.

So now that I'm having orders processed, I'm having another issue. I'm not receiving any ZC emails. I read in another post somewhere on this thread that we will not be able to receive any zc order notification emails at all. Can someone confirm whether this is true or not because then why would there be this option "Also send notifications with Zencart" on the GC module? If this is untrue, then is there another thread or post that troubleshoots this because I'm not receiving any ZC emails (I've searched ZC forum and couldn't find a solution. perhaps i'm not looking deep enough?)

Thank you in advance.

I like ZenCart , been using it for years, and I want to Google checkout with my latest install of ZenCart.

If I read your post correctly, this means that you got it Google Checkout working properly in ZenCart. is this correct?

Hey folks.... I seemed to have gotten this working pretty smoothly with no errors by just using a clean install of ZenCart (1.3.8a) and the latest GoogleCheckout module for ZenCart.

Great resource. Its very nice not to have to force people to use PayPal.

Has anyone been lucky enough to get this to work with ZC V1.3.9? The USPS broken in 1.3.9. It would be great to see if I can get help troubleshooting this.

It simply doesn't return USPS rates but other shipping option works.

I've been using GC for a while now. Not super happy with the way Google forces me to admin the orders in my checkout panel, but I can live with that. However, I am running into an issue.

Apparently, Google Checkout is using UPS commercial rates rather than residential. Since I'm shipping under a UPS account, if I just use commercial, they'll bill me back. Is there any way to make GC use residential UPS rates? I've searched, but can't find anything.

Also, GC seems to have issues with FedEx. It was almost always falling back on my default rates, so I turned off FedEx. I'm sure at least some of this is FedEx.

If you use merchant calculated shipping then you can control that but google decides which rate to quote for carrier calculated shipping. If you decide to stick with carrier calculated shipping then you should take a look at adding fixed and variable cost to the configuration to account for the difference between commercial and residential rates.

This now works with Zen Cart 1.3.9a and 1.3.9b, See details at: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=876137&postcount=106

Hello,

Has anyone got coupons to work correctly? I am running the 1.3.9a Zencart with Google 1.4.7. For some reason it will not allow me to use coupons.

I am currently in Sandbox SSL mode and everytime I enter a code it tells me it is invalid because it does not meet the minimum amount.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Nick

OMG! This thread is a beast! I got over 100 pages deep and haven't found a good answer, so I'm posting.

For some reason, when someone buys a downloadable product (or any product for that matter), GoogleCart isn't charging tax to residents of my state.

At first I had ZenCart handle my taxes, but my downloadable products don't require shipping addresses, so ZenCart never knew if the purchaser was from Texas or not.

THEN I set it up for Google, since they require the address for Credit card processing.

It turns out Google is passive, and doesn't add tax if any tax declaration is output from ZenCart.

So, how do you kill any tax declarations in the GoogleCart Module of Zencart, so GoogleCart can actually do it's job? :cry:

I was curious if you could get this addon to work with super orders.

Anyone have any luck with it?

Has anyone got this to work with 1.3.9b upgrade? If so would you mind helping with the orders.php, the language between 1.3.8a and 1.3.9b seems to have changed. I think that is where my problem is, when I installed google, I could get shipping quotes to work and checking out with paypal express would lead to step 2 of 3 select payment method but no method was available to chose.
Thank you

I tried and miserably failed so I paid a professional to work out the problems. Then even he had a hard time working on it I think.

This is working flawlessly on our site. What specific problem are you experiencing and what are the steps to recreate the problem?

I have attached the orders.php we are using in production.

Thank you for your help, with this and your earlier post got it up and working!! Thanks again :bigups:

I have GC version 1.4.7 installed on zencart 1.3.8a. with ssl

Orders are being recorded to admin. Customer is added to admin. I do receive Purchase Receipts from google by email.

The problem I'm trying to track down is GC is failing to add shipping charges during checkout.

I only offer USPS but just to test, I also installed UPS shipping and GC didn't add shipping rates during
checkout for UPS either, so it isn't just USPS rates not being included that is a problem.

I did remove and reinstall USPS shipping module. Didn't help.

(USPS works with paypal and moneyorders/check checkouts.)

according to post #3282 in thread
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47318&page=329
I edited the files, added_function_for_google_checkout.php and responsehandler.php
that didn't resolve the problem.

When viewing the orders in admin > orders, they show shipping as FreeGCDigital

Has anyone had this happen and found a fix?
Any ideas?

ok, I just enable table rate in zen admin and GC DOES include table rate for shipping option. So why won't GC include USPS shipping rates?

Are you using merchant calculated or carrier calculated for shipping methods? If you're using merchant calculation...post your shipping_methods.php content here.
