Hi ropu-
Finally had an opportunity to test your new 1.3RC2 version. Below are some questions, comments and requests for the wishlist.
- Shipping config is funny. For instance when purchasing a regular book the "review and place order" page listed two options in the Shipping & Handling dropdown:
"S&H Free Shipping (USA) ($0.00)"
"S&H (USA): USPS Media Mail ($5.00)"
I employ free shipping only on few items but not the item I was ordering. Why does the Free Shipper appear in the drop down for products which are not set for free shipping?
Here are my two arrays in /includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php
$this->mc_shipping_methods = array(
'freeshipper' => array(
'domestic_types' =>
array(
'freeshipper' => 'Free Shipping (USA)'
),
'international_types' =>
array(
'freeshipper' => 'Free Shipping (Intl)'
),
),
'itemnational' => array(
'domestic_types' =>
array(
'itemnational' => 'USPS Media Mail',
),
'international_types' =>
array(
),
),
'iteminternational' => array(
'domestic_types' =>
array(
),
'international_types' =>
array(
'iteminternational' => 'USPS Air Mail',
),
),
);
$this->mc_shipping_methods_names = array(
'freeshipper' => 'S&H',
'itemnational' => 'S&H (USA)',
'iteminternational' => 'S&H (Intl)',
);

Can Google please make the shipping drop down wider (display more characters). The second shipping option above is cut off.
-
Can something be done to delay the display of the "Place your order now" button, at least until the shipping dropdown menu and the pay with and ship to info is fully displayed and the grand total is updated to include shipping.
This is a serious flaw. The wait between the order button rendering and the shipping drop down and other ship info appearing can be fifteen seconds and more. I suspect many customers will be clicking the order BUTTON before they should be (before shipping is added to the total) and will be confused. I know I would be (or I am).
Better yet if a "Still Loading..." could be displayed until the ship info is updated. Then display the Order button.
- In the payment module configuration I changed the URL for the page to return to after checkout, to be the shop home page URL. However after clicking the place order button I still see Google's "Thanks yourname you're done" page. And the "Return to" link still points to the shopping cart page. Am I missing something?
OK I see now, rather than entering a proper URL, I changed the entry to "index" and the link then pointed to the shop home page. Stating "URL" in the instructions is not really correct but I understand it's difficult to come up with the correct term... maybe just provide a couple examples, e.g. for shop home page = index).
Relatedly, be sure to state in the readme that the return page cannot be the Zen Cart checkout_success page or any other Zen Cart page that requires you to be logged in.

How about dynamically creating and displaying a secure special one-time only "google_checkout_success" page which would display when customer is returned from Google Checkout server back to the Zen Cart shop. Include on that page the Google Checkout order details, the Zen Cart order number and the Zen Cart password (which the Google Checkout mod created for the customer), and include a link to "My Account" (similar to what is displayed on Zen Cart Checkout success page). And include on the page a define where shop-owner could include custom text (e.g. further instructions, etc) to the shops customers. Maybe call the page "google-checkout_success".
-
It would be good if customer could include some "comments" within the order 9directed to shop-owner), then display the comments in the order confirmation emails and in the zen cart admin orders page.
-
How about the option of placing a small shop-owner logo on the Google checkout "review and place order" page along with Google Checkout logo.
Thank you for the mod update and your assistance,
Woody
