Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

Hello all,
I have read every page of this post and i dont an answer anywhere on my question.

I have the newest zen cart. 1.3.8a and i installed the google checkout version 1.4.7

I have installed zen cart and a load of modules over the years. So i am very familure with the code and how to install modules.

I have one issue with google checkout.
on the "same" page where paypal and money order is selected with the radio buttons. i would like to see a radio button there for google check out as well.

I do not see one there. Please advise.

Hello everyone, I was trying to install the google checkout module but i couldn't find info on the installation so i just copied all of the files over and had them overwrite whatever was in there. Everything shows up and i put my info in there... but when I login as a customer and try to checkout it goes through the process then reverts back to the shopping cart pre-checkout and does not go to google checkout. How do I fix this?

i couldn't find info on the installation
Installation instructions are given in googlecheckout
mod zip file.

Hi Zenners,
my GC is not calculating any shipping charges, i searched this thread but I cannot find any answer even though the problem has been experienced by several users. :frusty: I'd like the shipping charges (which are already set per total order weight) + handling to be calculated by zen cart with the possibility to pay with GC.
thanks!

Nobody has an idea how to solve this shipping problem?

Forgive me also if the answer to my question lies deep inside the hundreds of thousands of pages below. I have been searching all over the net for days, trying everything but I'm hitting a brick wall .

OK, here is the problem: The "Place your order now - .." button in Google Checkout is grayed out.

A few days ago I was able to do a complete checkout for a digital product in the sandbox environment. I was able to set order status from Zen Cart Admin UI, or from Google Checkout Seller UI and all of this over SSL while everything kept perfectly in sync.

When I set the store to start using the production system the "Place your order now -..." button started to be grayed out. Setting the exact system back to sandbox made no difference what so ever -- the button in Google Checkout stays disabled (grayed out).

There are no messages in the response_messages.log and response_error.log (except the ones when the sandbox worked), nor anything inside the Google Checkout Sandbox UI.

I have tried many variations on shipping options, tax zones, table rates, free shipping, carrier calculated and on and on to no avail.

Please also see my Issue on the code.google.com system:
http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-zencart/issues/detail?id=24

There you will also find a sample of the cart XML.

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Please bear with me and forgive if this has been addressed.
I have searched and read, but fixes not what I need.

Problem:
I download, but it does it much too quick for my dailup connection.
Believe me I know about the speed!

But the files are there and they are showing data in them, but when I go to unzip -the files are there with no data.

I have tried repeatly with the same results.

Any ideals/suggestions?

TIA
Anna

I'm having the same issue and I'm using the USPS shipping module. I'm also having the issue with zencart admin not tracking the order as well. And like you, I'm extremely frustrated because I've scoured these forums and attempted all suggestions to no avail, and I've posted myself and gotten no reply.

And to think I moved to zencart mostly because it had a google checkout module....:frusty:

What Do I do with this information or do I name it something for the GC php page to talk to?

Yes this module is a nightmare: it has an awful readme page and lately basically no support, maybe google is getting too rich to really care about what they are doing (not that they ever care too much about users..) like AOL did... I went to the google forums to get some ideas... finally today i had a confirmation that there is a problem with the responsehandler.php (the file that is supposed to handle the communication between ZC and GC) so I'm going to read the error messages that google emailed to me and see if I can resolve something. If I do I'll post it here..

Ok, yes it is the responsehandler.php that is not answering because of the famed 401 error:
We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://capoeira-shop.com/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php -- the error we got is: Send failed with code: 401. Response body was: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>401 Authorization Required</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Authorization Required</H1> This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.<P> <P>Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. </BODY></HTML>

BUT i don't understand how could this be since I checked the merchant # and Key # entered in the ZC module several times: THEY ARE IDENTICAL to my GC account!

Admittedly, I'm receiving a different error, the famed SSL exception error, but having the same 'shipping' issue. I noticed, when I looked at my GC module settings, a place for google checkout to calculate shipping "if the callback fails" or some such. Is it possible that enabling those would at least garner shipping charges?

yes, you can enable that for the time being, I haven't checked if it is weight sensitive or not, but it is better than nothing ...
also you can look into the google checkout forums for this SSL problem I saw some stuff about it there (didn't read it though...)

i just downloaded google checkout and integrated it with zencart and everything but now when i try to test it(under the sandbox or production mode) using me as the customer(i just set up my website so i currently do not have any customers) when i go to the checkout and confirm checkout and everything it doesnt redirect me to google or a secure site like it is supposed to(i thought). it just redirects me back to my checkout page. am i missing something? did i upload the files wrong. or what?

yes i used to have the same problem because one of the folder was called templates instead than template (or the other way around). So make sure everything is exactly the same as specified in ther eadme file

does anyone know what the api callback url should be? should i leave it at checkout_

call back is: HTTP://YOURSITE/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

thanks a lot

google checkout has a huge list of ssl certificates they'll accept but needless to say, it's a bit overwhelming. Not to mention that not all ssl certificates are the same. And that many are quite cost prohibitive for the small merchant. Any suggestions?

(and hey melena, did you get your issue solved?)
