Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

Muzz:

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?

1. I'm not finding any current problems with it.

2. I'm not sure on this one. People continually compare this mod to PayPal and it's not really a fair comparison. GoogleCheckout is VERY clear on their policies and that is that you cannot force a customer to log in before checkout with google checkout. This is why the button only appears as option on the shopping cart and not the checkout payment page.

OK. Thanks for the input!

I have google checkout installed and was working now my customers get this message "Request Entity Too Large Your client issued a request that was too large." when they try to purchase on google. anyone else having this problem?

Do I have to have static IP address in order for digital delivery to work with Google Checkout?
I have dynamic IP and I Google Checkout doesn't ping back. So while transaction goes through, customer gets no downloads in his account.
PayPal works like a charm.

Forgot to add that I got the following error:

We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.steel-storm.com/shoppe/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php -- the error we got is java.io.IOException: Error 'SSL_CERTIFICATE_ERROR' connecting to url 'https://www.steel-storm.com/shoppe/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php'.

I have a self-signed certificate.

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.9h and I have installed Google Checkout but I keep getting this error - please help.

A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again

Inside google I get this error:
Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Content is not allowed in prolog

Tried everything I can think of. Can anyone assist?

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.

Hi, ok this is my first post :clap: i had this problem earlier today and after several hours of playing with the .php etc i worked out that the answer is in the shipping generator readme file.

after you have decided what shipping modules you want to use (I see you have chosen royal mail) you need to

1. go to "http://YOURSITE.com/shop/googlecheckout/shipping_generator/

2. Click the 'Get shipping Methods' button

3)Move down the page and than click generate.

4. than copy the code generated and use it to replace the contents of shipping_methods.php

this will fix your problem.

I've tried everything and cannot get google to do a call back to get the shipping rates.

I can use flat rate but not zones or anything that required google to call back to the site.

Done the generate shipping, done the api url, done the https - still cant get the blooming thing to work.

Log into Google Checkout, then click on Tools, then click on Integration Console.

This list all of the error messages you have been receiving from Google Checkout that is blocked from Customer's normal view.

When I try to go to https://www.wefoundem.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found Error. It is there, I know it is there. I have seen it.

I get the same thing when I try to go to the shipping generator and I know it is there as well.

I keep getting error messages in the integration console on Google that they are getting a 404 error as well and I have no idea why.

Hello to everybody and Happy and Healthy New Year!

I have a general question before jumping to integrate Google Checkout.

I have currently PayPal which working well for us and not too much complains from Customers. My customers are predominatly people over 50 years old, as we sell medical id's.

Would Google Checkout really increase sale, or customers do not care what institution is processing their Credit Card?

1. Do you see any benefit or advantage of Google Checkout versus PayPal.
2. Does it make sence to have both?

Myself and future readers will greatly appreciate your experience.:yes:

I notice thoses difference in orders.php also when using wm. Just wondering if you incorporated those changes and is GC working for you?

I have read a TON of people who have trouble with this add-on... Do people recommend this or is this just a waste of my time to bother with?
