Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

DO we know if this is compatible with version 1.3.9g?

I'm not seeing any problems with my 1.3.9g installation and this. I DO highly recommend you make the file changes I posted a moment back.

retched:

Sorry it wasn't on this forum thread where the change is mentioned.

Go to /zencart/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php and make the following change.

Find ```php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

> 
> ```php
// temporal disable of multisocket
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_MULTISOCKET', 'False');
define('SESSION_BLOCK_SPIDERS','False');

did you make this change to this file?

I made the changes. When Google Checkout is in sandbox and 'carrier calculated shipping' is set to 'false', it works. When I change it from sandbox, it stops calculating the shipping. However, if I change the 'carrier calculated shipping' to 'true' I get the 'oops' error again.

That's completely fine. Is the shipping working though when you use this option? (Obviously the one that works.)

After I sent my response yesterday, I emailed my web assistant to check if she had uploaded the code (she was supposed to deal with it over the weekend). It seems that she hadn't, so she apologized and took care of it. This morning (after the new code was added), I checked again and the shipping is not calculating on 'false' or 'sandbox'. On 'true' it gives the error. On not sandbox, it gives the error.

Do I need to undo the code changes since it was calculating shipping prior to the code changes, but it isn't now?

When you made these changes, did you upgrade the ENTIRE Zen-cart or just the one's I made previously?

If you made the changes to the new ZenCart, I can certainly help you as I'm not encountering problems with my installation.

But if you made JUST the change I suggested above, there's no need to change anything further. The code I told you to add actually does nothing but allow Google Checkout to reach your page

I have been trying to install google checkout on my site running zen cart version 1.3.9b and I am having errors with the payment modules. When I enter the payment module I see this message:

ERROR: module not loaded due to missing language file: [my site directory]/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/downloads.php
ERROR: module not loaded due to missing language file: [my site directory]/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/show_google_components.php

:frusty: I haven't been able to find any info for this error in the zen forums or on google's code site and this has been one frustrating problem.
I have followed the directions to the letter and I didn't have any other modules installed to interfere with the install. Any help would be appreciated!!

It means exactly what it says: it's looking for a language file for the module you've loaded, but can't find it.
Payment modules consist of a minimum of two files: the module and its language file. You've evidently dumped stuff into /includes/modules/payment but failed to put corresponding files into /includes/languages/english/modules/payment. Thus the message telling you what files you've failed to put onto your server.

Only the code you indicated in a prior post was changed.

Well google checkout v1.4.7 which i am trying to install includes a file "googlecheckout.php" which goes into the /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/, which is where i uploaded the file. The 2 files that the error messages say are missing don't even exist to be uploaded. I tried re-uploading all of the files a few times and double checked all the directories and still I get the error even though I have the googlecheckout.php language file in the correct directory.

I could really use some help on this. Anyone?

Hi, I am currently rebuilding my site using Zencart ver 1.3.9h. I decided to install Google checkout 1.47 with it as well as PayPal (which is what I usually use).

I have never come across a more difficult add on that the Google checkout one. I have followed the instructions as best as possible given that they are not written for those of us who are not master programmers, ( I usually get by without too much difficulty).

I have told the Google checkout system that I do not want to use it's own shipping rates and that I want to use my own using the shipping addons that I have installed but, it still comes up with:

Error: Shipping Methods not configured
rm1stpacket (ignored)
rm1stpacketsf (ignored)
rmamisfsmallpacket (ignored)
rmamisfsmallpacket500 (ignored)
rmamsmallpacket (ignored)
specialdelivery (ignored)
ukzr (ignored)

When I have items in the shopping cart and am ready to checkout. To date I have not found any real explanation in the documentation or on the forums etc to explain to me in plain english why this happens, it's like I'm telling the checkout to ignore it's own shipping system and it in turn is ignoring my instructions.

Is there anybody out there that can possibly help please. Considering how easy it is to install PayPal I fail to see why it has been made so difficult to install Google checkout.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I agree with all the above. I've been fighting with this mod for months and still don't have it working. If no one is interested in helping with this thing, then perhaps zencart should stop offering it as a download.

Has any one figured out how to get google checkout to work on zen cart 1.3.9h The files that need to be modified are to different for the new code help please

standard cart 1.3.9c

This solution is not included in the cart for a reason. I believe that The Google (EXPRESS) checkout solution needs to be redesigned from the ground up. When this solution was planned and executed it was to make the shoppers have an easier time checking out while giving the bulk of information to Google. My clients have time and time again skipped the Google checkout option over and over. The premise that the customers do not want to make accounts at stores they shop at is wrong. Plain and simple. My customers bypass Express Checkout nearly every time. I might as well remove it from my cart. This checkout solution in my opinion was horribly malformed without the business client at the center. Customers are used to having express checkout after the initial account creation and initial purchase. Then the Express checkout as previously encountered comes into play for them. It was a nice convenient idea about this solution but it is not coming to fruition for our site. Out of 250 transactions in the past week and 1 person used the Google Checkout DOH! Does that stay anything about how wrong the Google Express Checkout premise was?
You can build the best mouse trap in the world but if no one can operate it. It's useless. This module has no working documentation to explain in plain language how to setup and admin this module.
THIS MODULE GETS A -20 out of 10 VOTE. This module should be scrapped along with the Zen Cart Google checkout solution. It barely works with this cart at all. For all the headache it took to install and make function by reading the PHP code and force the cart to work with the real time shipping module. Then to get one person to use it a month is ridiculous and not giving any ROI.
If you want to use Google checkout you should use Google's easy web store also. That's what Google always wants. You to depend on them for all you needs. So Building need into their checkout solution is just good business, even if it doesn't install, or function. find the Google forum for the Zen Cart solution and enter a post then the module writers will take a look at your site for you and make it work the way they want it too... lol. But they will try to help you in the process.

Hey guys, I've just installed the Google Checkout Module and I've installed it, it is the only payment method and it shows up during checkout but it never sends me out to Google to make the actual payment. I'm complete new to ZenCart and I have no idea what the problem could be. Any help you all could provide would be greatly appreciated! It's zen cart v1.3.9h and the I downloaded and installed the module from the ZC site and installed it according to the directions.

Thanks!

Finally I got it to work. The only problem I have is with the free shipping option. For some reason when you use free shipping option that say for example buyer must spend $50 to get free shipping google checkout shows the free shipping option no matter what even if the buyer has less than the amount to get free shipping. Hum I cant figure it out. Any suggestions?:censored:

Thanks

I can see various opinions here on google checkout.

I wanted to ask 2 questions.

1. Does google checkuot work in 1.3.9h ?

2. For people using this MOD do you think it is worthwhile?
