Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

can't edit anymore so want to explain the above post so you guys don't think I'm a nut case! :)

I figured out how to force login before GC and posted how to do it incase someone else had the same problem.

30 seconds later, I read on the GC support group that it is against GC TOS to force login before GC, so I edited out my post until I could clarify... Needless to say, you can't force a login.

back to the drawing board

Hey Woody,

I'm still using 1.3. Wanna upgrade me?

Send an email to jp at birdoasis.com. I almost never check that gmail email.

Never mind Woody,

I'm reading the instructions. Looks simple enough. If you hear any screaming, that's my wife just before she throws the computer at me. hehe.

I've installed the Google Checkout mod... but when I try a test purchase I get this at the checkout page:

Error: Shipping Methods not configured
rm1stlargeletter (ignored)
rm1stlargelettersf (ignored)
rm1stpacket (ignored)
rm1stpacketsf (ignored)
rmamsmallpacket (ignored)
specialdelivery (ignored)

why is that... shouldn't it pick up the royalmail shipping mod??

Anyone got any ideas please??? have I mucked up in the install?

I had this module installed and working however at my checkout page, the googlecheckout button forced the paypal express and googlecheckout button way below the checkout button....I have tried taking the -or use- text out, but that did not correct the situation.
Any help would be great!

If possible I would like to place the googlecheckout button and the paypal express button directly below the checkout button.

Thanks

Hi Gang,
I am now frustrated to a headache!

I think I have a couple of issues...

#1. google checkout is chosen with the radial button on the checkout_payment page... Go to the checkout_confirmation page... click continue and I get popped right back to the shopping_cart page.
HELP!... I feel like I am in an infinate loop!!!!

#2. the gooogle checkout button.... what page is that supposed to appear on? and if it is....IT ISNT!

The web site is http://www.kamuitips.com/index.php please create a profile and test for me.

Thank you for your support!

I've been there! The only thing I can suggest is go through and completely reinstall this module. I had missed something the first time and caught it the second....make sure all of your files uploaded correctly!
Hope this helps!

UPDATE!..... This time I did it with a fine tooth comb....still the same thing is happening. What do I do now. Right now... picking my nose is more constructive!
Thank you for your help!

hi

my environment uses:
zencart_v1.3.7
GC_v1.4.1Beta1.2
and mods
stock_by_attr_v4.4 and ot_local_tax_v1.0

I have everything working (thanks to a lot of great posts) and there are 2 problems I am trying to solve:

1. how can I configure Google Checkout to calculate tax based on
   a)Santa Clara county/zip codes at 8.25%
   b) rest of California state at 7.25%
   c) all other states at 0% ???
   NOTE: my shop's checkout works great with the mod; I have configured zencart with the State Zone at 7.25% and the mod to include all the zip codes for the SC county .

2. How can I disable/gray-out the Google Checkout button when the selected quantity > stock ? I currently use only one attribute (size)
   and the "admin/configuration/stock/allow checkout=false" works for the
   zen cart checkout but not for Google.

I spent many hours searching for answers before posting. Thank you!

brodus:

I was wondering if someone could elaborate on adding the redirect in the login page. I was able to take care of the other steps, but I can't find where in the tpl_login_default.php is the code that is sending the user to checkout_shipping

Thanks.

Sorry, I've tried a few things on this, but still am not sure where to add the redirect in the code. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi all. Google checkout has been working fine for us but I just tested it to confirm and no matter what I do GC says we sent them a bad cart? Here is the error given in the GC integration panel:

What is the problem here? The only thing I have changed lately is I customized the shipping zones a little... Any ideas?

ZC: 1.3.71
GC Module: v1.4Beta1

I had an installation of this module working properly for several months, and then orders stopped appearing in my admin a few months ago and I had not modified anything. I have tried debugging and also upgraded the module but the error remains. My response_message.log shows the timestamp but nothing else, and my response_error.log shows Invalid. As far as I know SSL is installed properly as it was working before, but my hosting company has been flaky about it in the past. I am able to get a secure connection to my site and the certificate hierarchy looks appropriate. Can anything other than SSL issues be causing this?

how do I add the What is Google Checkout? below the checkout button?

regenbauma:

FYI ....
running zc1.3.6, gco 1.4.1beta12
site is as scanpancookware.com
problems found as follows

a) modules that use OT (order total) , the order total discount is passed to GCO, but the amount is not ... passed as $0. I have a module "bigspenderdiscount" from thatsoftwareguy, big spender discount is passed, but discount $$ value is not. Wishlist says that OT processing is repaired in 1.4 , seems maybe not.
b) I have active coupons in ZC, but these are not being activated in GCO...
c) i have table rate ship rates for the USA + UPS for non contiguous USA + custom UPS canada UPS for canada ..... however when i checkout with a USA address, its listing the default ship options/amounts for the UPS zone (non USA) even though the table rate should be the only ship option showing in the GCO checkout page.

If anyone out there has done the port of GCO to super_orders.php , please let me know ......

any help on the above items is most appreciated.

(a) above has been resolved by thatsoftwareguy .. bigspender now works with GCO, as does Better together.

shipping rates and coupons still giving a hard time. Do we need to duplicate coupons on GCO side or shoudl GCO automatically check entered coupons via the callback ?

thanks ropu and thatsoftwareguy for the OT module repair.

Hi there,

One of our clients has been having a problem of certain Google orders not showing up in Google checkout(they stay pending even after payment). We have been discussing the issue with the Google team and today we received the following from a tech:

If I understand this correctly, this means that the fact that Google checkout being offered in the radio button portion of the standard checkout is causing our problem. It's ok to purchase it via the additional checkout button, but not the radio button.

1. Does anyone else find this to be true?

2. What's the best way to turn off the standard option in the checkout?

Any advice is appreciated, as it's causing quite a disruption.

thanks,

Better Together will be updated shortly in the download area with the fixes required to use Google Checkout. Watch the Better Together support thread for details as soon as it's ready.

Thanks,
Scott

I forgot what our Google tech said :(

Hi there,

I've actually created a test account on your website with first name and last name test. With this account, I purchased an item and went through your regular checkout flow. With your regular checkout flow, I could choose Google Checkout as a radio button. After selecting this option and proceeding, my order was automatically confirmed without payment. I believe that this is the root cause of your issue. Please remove the Google Checkout radio button from your standard checkout flow.

Hi,

I've been working on getting Google checkout working for a UK shop.

Got a problem with VAT.

When in google checkout it seems to think the VAT is 0.

So if i have a product that is 4.50 inc VAT it shows it as 3.83 in google checkout but then does add the vat on (includes VAT £0.00).

Anyone know what might be happening here? Also I've notice that in response_message.log the tax is set to false: <tax>false</tax>

Not sure why, and i can't see where i might set it to true.

Thanks for any help.
