Strictly Google Checkout! Please Help Me!

The only payment method I wish to have is Google Checkout. When I goto checkout it shows the normal checkout button and then "- Or use -" then shows Google Checkout.

How do I only use Google Checkout? I would suppose just replacing the original checkout box with the google one, but I am not sure how to.

Please Help!

I wonder if the entire registration/checkout can be bypassed completely because i just want to have my site and google checkout.

Is this possible? what will have to be done?

anyone come up with any idea?

I've been looking for the same thing and haven't found a solution yet. Hopefully someone can offer advice.

I need this as well, hoping to just use GCO.

I've been doing some trial and error on this and so far it's not 100% working the way I want it. I placed the google checkout button at step 3 of the checkout process but my test orders do not show up in the Admin-->Customers --> Order

Can you describe how you got there? I'm also having my test orders not show up under orders too, but I think that's a separate issue.

Not sure if I'm reading you right...but you've gotten to the point where the GCO button doesn't show up until step 3 right? So, the customer has to create an account on your website right? I'd like to do that too, I didn't realize until fully testing it, that just using the GCO button a customer can avoid logging in completely, and I lose out on capturing their info automatically.

eva01,

Yes, I set up GCO button to not show up until step 3.
Yes, the customer has to create an account to proceed through the checkout process.

Here's the mod I've been testing. It includes a README file.
Back up the files I listed in the README file before replacing them with the modified files.

Let me know what you think.

Avoiding creating an account is the whole object of the GOOgle checkout!!! Read the TOS ...

And I agree. There should be only one place to enter info in regards to billing and shipping and that is at Google Checkout! Only if ZenCart has a mod that can calculate the tax and shipping rates in the shopping cart after the customer enter the shipping address' zip code/postal code before you press the GCO button.

Thanks I'll give it a try tomorrow, hope it works.

Kim, I'm not left with too many options unless someone can show me how to get rid of the regular checkout button, and only have the GCO button. Or, have GCO work somewhere along the regular checkout process...something, anything.

Right now it's a MAJOR problem for me to have the regular checkout lead to nowhere. A customer will just click that button, go through the whole process making it look like a successful transaction. After it's done maybe they'll be a little confused that they entered no payment info, but it'll be up to me to sort out the mess.

Woogle good stuff man. Am I your first beta tester?
Here is what I'm seeing as a test customer: the GCO button is still there at the shopping cart. So I can continue and use GCO w/o creating an account or logging in which should keeps the spirit of GCO alive.

I can also just use the regular checkout button which leads me to the login page where I can login, create a new account, OR use the GCO button=)

If I still skip the GCO button, I continue logged in and at the final step 3, instead of confirm order, my only option to pay is GCO=) PERFECT. This should be somehow integrated into the next GCO revision.

BUG BUG BUG BUG
Note, I had to modify one of the files. Originally I received an error before getting to step 3. It said there was a syntax error at line 93 of - tpl_checkout_payment_default.php. I did some investigating and the offending line is:

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo // '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

which is part of a section that is commented out. I just copied back the original section to your modified file, and that did the trick. I replaced :

<!-- Commented out to not show the Special instructions or Comments entries <h2 id="checkoutConfirmDefaultHeadingComments"><?php //echo HEADING_ORDER_COMMENTS; ?></h2> <div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo // '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div> <div><?php //echo (empty($order->info['comments']) ? NO_COMMENTS_TEXT : nl2br(zen_output_string_protected($order->info['comments'])) . zen_draw_hidden_field('comments', $order->info['comments'])); ?></div> <br class="clearBoth" /> -->

WITH:

<h2 id="checkoutConfirmDefaultHeadingComments"><?php echo HEADING_ORDER_COMMENTS; ?></h2> <div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div> <div><?php echo (empty($order->info['comments']) ? NO_COMMENTS_TEXT : nl2br(zen_output_string_protected($order->info['comments'])) . zen_draw_hidden_field('comments', $order->info['comments'])); ?></div> <br class="clearBoth" />

Thanks again Woogle, I'll continue to test. I hope Ropu gets a hold of your mod and can use it. I don't mind the GCO button still showing up for customers to bypass login. At least now using the regular checkout doesn't lead to nowhere, and there is no violation of TOS=)

Thanks for the feedback Eva!

I found the issue

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo // '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

should have been

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php // echo  '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Notice where the change where the "//" is at.

Ropu won't be happy if he sees it. :ohmy: The function of the "Confirm Order" button is for other payment modules such as COD and CCs orders. I see that the best way to implement the GCO button is to use it in a shopping cart similar to Newegg's shopping cart page where tax is calculated based on your input of zip code and shipping rates can use the code already written for shipping estimator but it'll be zip code based as well instead of country selection

Just want to point out the file that had the "//" misplaced is tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php

Here's a new package with the correction.

Here it is again. :lamo:

how is this coming along?

hi, how can one make the stock checkout option disappear from the cart, so as to have only the Google CheckOut icon/link showing up, so that there is no logging in, and the customer goes right to GCO, and enters their info there? Also, i know the shipping amount wouldn't be passed to Google, but could the customer order info entered at the GCO site still show up in the admin UI? Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Using on my production site! Thank you!!

I using this mod and it appears to be working fine, the only issue I have is that the google checkout button is forced over to the right hand side of the screen (I.E. Not directly underneath where it should be). Does anyone have any ideas how I can alter it's alignment?
