Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

I have been working to get GoogleCheckout installed over the last few days. My main issues had to do with getting the SSL installed correctly. Finally tonight I was able to get an order through in the SandBox and it not throw and warnings or errors.

The thing is that the orders do not show up in my admin UI.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Great module.

I'm looking for a firm to develop an add-on for Zen Cart. Can you please tell me who I should direct my request to?

Thank you,
Jean

I have been working to get GoogleCheckout installed over the last few days. My main issues had to do with getting the SSL installed correctly. Finally lastnight I was able to get an order through in the SandBox and it not throw and warnings or errors.

The thing is that the orders do not show up in my admin UI.

Any thoughts? I am using 1.3.5 and 1.0.1

I have installed the google checkout mod. It went very easily and no problems occured. I setup a table shipping chart (integration with UPS or FedEx would sure be better).

My question is about taxes.
I dont see away to specify which states I charge taxes in.
Ive looked through the readme docs and serched the forums here and on the google dev site and also looked through all the settings under my google-checkout account. I cant find it.

Any help would be great,
Thanks

Is there anyone who could help me on my question above? Could it be that I am not seeing orders in my Admin UI because I messed up on my upgrade from 1.2.7 to 1.3.5? If so where should I start snooping around?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem on a fresh install, never upgraded. Haven't had any luck fixing or working around it yet.

Good to hear that HeadBeeGuy....Well not for you but for me. I'm glad it is not something I'm doing. Though, maybe we are both doing the same thing.

It is interesting that you are on a fresh install and I'm on a upgrade.

One other thing. I am getting nothing in my response_error.log or response_message.log. Should that tell me something?

Well I am getting messages in my response_message.log now but nothing is being updated in my DB.

Any Thoughts?

Are the orders showing up at Google?

Yes, they are showing up in the sandbox. It seems everything works except the updating of my database from the google call back.

Please clarify what you mean by updating.
Do you mean that new orders are not being sent to admin interface?
Or do you mean that the order status is not being updated?

Currently, I can not get the orders to update the order status of each order. I was able to fix a few bugs and add more options to make it more ZenCart friendly. I am currently having someone else testing it out and I will release it soon.

So this may have already been asked, but any chance in the near future of getting this working with USPS/UPS/FEDEX rate based shipping? I know it kinda defeats the normal design of google checkout, but can't the button be hidden until step 2 when u select a payment method and take the total price including shipping before it sends to the google site to follow TOS?

Or perhaps a middle man. When you click "Checkout quickly with Google Checkout" have it link to a shipping estimator type window where the customer can enter his postal code and select his shipping choice based on usps/ups/fedex/ etc rates, then click submit and it sends the new full price to google checkout where the customer can continue.

Sorry about that, I mean both. I am not having any tables uptaded or inserted into by google checkout once an order is made.

If you are getting orders in Google but it's not in your database or admin, the problem lies in googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

The most common issue seems to be the getallheaders() error or people forgetting to set the the file attributues to 777 for response_error.log and response_message.log

I had an interesting problem with Google Checkout

A customer used the GC checkout and when they added an address to ship to they go this error message:

(My Store) does not ship to this address:

I thought that maybe it was because the shipping address and the bill to address were different but they were the same.

Also has anyone from Google been back here to the board to address the bugs and issues or has it just been the ZenCart staff and users?

I know that it is impolite to perhaps question the coder that hands you something like this MOD but it's not like Google doesn't get something for their efforts.

I would think that maybe they could put some of their code staff to really put an effort into getting this MOD functioning well, it's not like they don't' have the resources to just that?

Yeah, I had initially was unaware of the 777, which was why at one point I was having nothing written to those files. Now I am though.

I get all these steps being written out to the file:
Fri Oct 13 14:23:03 EDT 2006:- new-order-notification
Fri Oct 13 14:23:06 EDT 2006:- order-state-change-notification
Fri Oct 13 14:23:07 EDT 2006:- risk-information-notification
Fri Oct 13 14:23:25 EDT 2006:- order-state-change-notification
Fri Oct 13 14:23:26 EDT 2006:- charge-amount-notification

I was looking at line 250 where it says:
global $db;

Does anyone know where $db gets set? Looking at the code it looks like my issues are taking place in: function process_new_order_notification

I just don’t think it is hitting my database for some reason. It is almost like it does not have a connection.

GlobalVillage I did try and e-mail jacob13moon but never heard back from him. I am sure he is busy writing mods for other companies, and does not have the time come back here and answer our million + questions. I don't blame him :-)

Actually I think he and Google's code staff are obligated to not only answer questions but to also be proactive in getting the MOD to work correctly with ZenCart. Just because the MOD is "free" should not make it a hardship for those that want to use it.

As I've already mentioned this greatly benefits Google for every ZenCart shop that sets up Google Checkout.

How about it Jacob, some support and bug fixes and a better interface for shipping?

Google Checkout is working fine for me with two exceptions:

1. What is the API Callback URL. I have SSL on my site but not sure what URL to use here?

2. No order is created in my admin order area. I'm using Super Orders but see no order at all when Google is used. Any suggestions?

Yes, I have both response_error.log and response_message.log set to 777.
