I'm trying to get GCO to work with PerWeight/PerUnit shipping. So far it just shows 0.00 for shipping. I have a custom template but I've followed all the instructions and nothing is working. Any suggestions?
New Zenner
Log in to GCO, go to settings > shipping setup > and create a custom weight/ price table.

I am having this same problem but the order is also not showing in admin. I am still testing this ad on in sandbox, there is no way I can put it in my live shop until this is resolved. worst thing is I am sure before I installed this I read something about these problems, but I can not find them now
Very frustrated after 3 days playing around

Hi
I have searched this thread but cannot find a fix which I think should be relatively simple (for someone who knows what they are doing :)
I have tested the response handler file in the web browser and am presented with a login and password screen using plain http: non sercure access, however if I use https:// version it just loads the homepage and the login and password box doesn't appear.
I have the following error in google merchant which basically gives a 500 error and the our homepage html:
any ideas why the https version isn't loading as it should?
https://www.domain.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php
Send failed with code: 500. Response body was: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <title>Personalised Gifts,Wedding Gifts,Christening Gifts | KeepitPersonal.co.uk</title>

Since one of my clients has never been able to integrate google checkout for his shipper Royal Mail in the UK, I finally contacted the gc people for assistance with this mod Here is Google's reply:
The Zen Cart module is no longer supported. Therefore, you should probably
update your cart to another modern open source cart such as magento
(magentocommerce.com).
So I'm going to start recommending that no one install Google Checkout anymore. Since competition is coming up from Amazon for this type of payment processor and since it's never really taken hold in a strong way with those paying the bills, I now consider this to be a non option.
For you that dont' know much about Magento, even though it has free "open source" version that needs special hosting, it is obvious to me that it is a for-profit venture. For google to openly support it sounds to me like they might have a finger in it as well. Sometimes freebies are only a preclude to paid versions. Thanks heavens for real open source like Zen Cart

Well... let's not forget that both are open sourced which means that if you can understand and debunk Magento's version of the Google Checkout code and you have a grasp on ZenCart's coding, you can get both to work.

I think Delia's point is (and the sheer number of crys for help on this support thread seem to bear this out) that it seems this module is not quite ready for primetime. It has lacked any kind of support or leadership in the way of a developer or developers to pick up the ball and run with it and get the issues with this thing fixed so that it runs seemlessly out the box..
There appear to be a TON of unresolved issues with this mod, and it hasn't been updated in over 3 years.. The 3 years with no update wouldn't be an issue if this module didn't appear to be problematic (again this is based on the number of crys for help -- many of which are unresolved/unanswered).

Actually, my point is that if you are using Google Checkout then you are supporting someone who does not support you. I get kind of ticked off when I send money to someone who then turns around and ignores me and the other many thousands of folks/websites who are using Google Checkout with other "unsupported" open source projects. It's not just Zen Cart they have abandoned after they wrote the original mods. They wrote these mods themselves and then after getting folks into it, walked off without saying a word. That amounts to a scam in my eyes!
If everyone were to quit using it, then Google might find that they made a mistake! It's all about money and Google Checkout does not deserve your money.
GC is not the end all and be all. Amazon has come out with their own version. Paypal Express is still alive and viable. GC has never taken hold like they wanted it to.
For example, one of my clients takes credit cards, paypal and GC. and that's the usage: most use credit cards, then paypal and then GC gets some of the left overs. Not something to base your cart payment plans on, folks!

Hi All,
Recently Google Checkout was working fine but all of a sudden I saw a drop in sales using Google Checkout and I discovered that the Google Checkout was not working.
When a product is in the shopping cart and one clicks on the Google Checkout logo it takes me to a Google page and gives me an error.
I went to the integration setting and found the following:
Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Invalid value for body of allowed-areas in checkout-shopping-cart/checkout-flow-support/merchant-checkout-flow-support/shipping-methods/flat-rate-shipping/shipping-restrictions: Must be a U.S. 2-letter postal code or state name
Any idea on how I can fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Totally Zenned
Can you copy/paste the XML that is attached? Also is this going local or international?

After making a purchase in sandbox mode, you are directed back to the basket, with all items still in the cart.
I'm using ZC v1.3.9h, GC module v1.4.7
There is no other payment module.
Shipping is by USPS only and seems to work well.
Testing in the sandbox, returning set up to checkout_success.
I'm using the default template and my /root/includes/templates has two folders: classic and template_default.
Payment seems to work through step 3, and then I'm returned to shopping with all items still in the cart.
Please help. :(

Where did you edit your template files?
New Zenner
I edited everything in-place (I know, it is not the correct way, but I was already half way through when I realized that...)

Are the settings in google checkout set up correctly with regards to where to redirection?

Hi All,
I haven’t used Google Checkout for a couple of years now, but it doesn’t surprise me that Google has finally admitted that it doesn’t support ZenCart.
Even when I did use it and had it working it broke every time I tried to update their software.
I’m going to stop using Paypal in a month and was looking at alternatives, but I see Google will not be one of them. I can’t see using a module that admits it will not support ZenCart.
Maybe Google will wake up sometime in the future and realize that if it wants to compete with Paypal, and Amazon they will need to re-think their decision to not support Zen Cart.

I use Google checkout at the moment on my site crazygamer.co.uk but the only way i could actually use google checkout was by using the google express checkout button but what a mess now as i had a fair few modules in the checkout process for discounts and better together plus a custom xbox code delivery module all that cant be used until i decide its time to try get it sorted out proper.:(

I just read something in the past week that google checkout has never taken off the way they had hoped it would. I suspect they will end up phasing it out but with Amazon jumping into the market, major changes may be on the horizon. Note also that Google wallet has just jumped into the test market so this is probably the next thing for google.
Tell staff why this post should be reviewed.
