Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

I just did a fresh install of 1.3.9d, and I would like to use the Google Checkout 1.4.7 with it, is this going to work or should I put in ZC 1.3.8 instead?

NO! dont use 1.3.8
it's outdated!
this google checkout mod really needs rewriting to fit with 1.3.9d...
have you tried a ceon payment module instead of google?

I have another system that has been up for years using PayPal, however PayPal in their wisdom will not let me set up a new account for the new system, and there is no appeal.

I do a lot of other stuff with Google so Google checkout seemed to be a good alternative.

I am not sure who or what ceon is, I am open to using any payment house that is easy to work with, that will respond to situations with something other than THERE IS NO APPEAL, and is US based.

For a startup I am reluctant to go to a bank for a merchant account because of the high costs and all of the paperwork.

I did the step by step installation of the Checkout Module, and it seems to be ok from the admin side, however it will be a couple of days before I can test it from the Google site.

Thanks for the response

So my per-weight goes through ok, the only problem is I have free shipping set up on any order over $300. That seems to go through to google checkout no matter what the order total is. Is there any way to hide free shipping unless the google checkout total is over $300?

I cannot tell whether my site is installed on PHP CGI or not. My PHP mode is set as "PHP 5 Fast CGI". In the server infor under the admin, the server API is set as "CGI/FastCGI"

So, Is my site installed on PHP CGI or not? For the question ".htaccess Basic Authentication Mode", do I need to set "True" or "false"?

Thank you a lot!

Hi I have Zencart 1.3.8a currently installed with Google Checkout Module 1.4.7.

Now the module works as it should and customers can checkout using this module, I recieve the notifications via email which is fine but I am just wondering what I have done wrong because the list of orders on the main admin page never shows that I have recieved a new order etc.

Can anyone explain why this maybe?

Thanks,

Keith

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.

Is anyone experiencing an issue with sending out order status updates to customers when using this mod? I'm using 1.3.9d and notice that when I update order information in the edit order section of admin and have the "notify customer" box checked. It is merely appending the comments to the order but emails are not actually going out. I tested the function out with the original admin/orders.php file and it works fine. But once I manually update the file for GCO, it stops working.

Everything else with GCO seems to be functioning. "BlessIsaacola" are your notify customer emails functioning as they should? I've tried loading the orders.php file you uploaded, but no luck there either.

Can anybody help with this problem please? I also get an email notification from googlecheckout to say they can't update the responsehandler.php file. But I have checked the permissions on this file and all are set as set out in the documentation.

Thanks again,

Keith

Has any one gotten a fix for google checkout not sending sales back to zen cart? I've gone through the forum and found some tips i have done them all.

But when i go to reponsehandler.php it asks me for a user/pass i post my gmail login/pass and it just prompts me for a user/pass again.

Any help, please :D

Have you tried this?

When i try to make the encrypsted .htpassword it says my password(merchant_key) is longer than 15 characters so it dosn't want to encrypt the file.

Also it asks me to remove

function HttpAuthentication($headers=null, $die=true)

But i can't find it anywhere.

ok, so i got the password encrypted, and setup the .htaccess and .htpsswd setup with the built in script. everything seems to be fine but when i go to responsehandler.php it still just prompts me for a user/pass.

Is this how it should be?

Yes. This just verifies that you have the right URL. You can't actually log in to anything from there.

Do you have an SSL certificate? GCO will not communicate with your admin if you don't have SSL enabled.

I never did get the 'enable zen cart email notification' feature to send a zen cart notification when someone makes a purchase with google checkout.

The installation GC notes says this about it

12. Also send Notification with ZenCart, if enabled, will send an email using the
    ZC internal email system if the comment in an order is larger than 254
    chars, limit for a google send message. If this happens a warning will be
    shown in the Admin UI. It will also send emails to the merchant account
    when orders states are changed in the Admin UI.

No where during the google checkout process have I seen where a customer can enter a comment to the store owner. If a comment larger than 254 characters can't be made then zen cart isn't going to be sending an internal email notification.

I am being asked why this feature isn't working and the above is my only explanation.

Can anyone please confirm to me if this feature does work if configured correctly or simply does not work period?

Just to clarify, does that mean the google checkout is not useable if one doesn't fork over the dough for the SSL certificate? Because that would explain a whole lot why Paypal sucks but still has a huge market share for small vendors.

you can get a full Comodo SSL cert with £10,000 insurance for £50 per year!! Its nothing really is it.

(yes, i agree that PP sucks tho)

currency exchange rate and all, but the cheapest thing here is closer to $200 per year.

Also, there are levels of SSL certificates - which one is necessary for the use of google checkout?

domain/identity only...
organization...
extended...

GCO works with shared certificates. It seems most web hosts provide shared SSLs for free these days , so I would look into that option.
