Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

TamyA:

I installed this mod about a month ago and every things tested and working except for the "Google Checkout" showing on the payment page which i do mind it, do you think i have to install new releases or i will be ok keeping the version i have?

I'm still using 1.3RC2, as it does all the things I want it to. If you need the extra functions that the new release has, then that would be the way to go. If not, the current version should be just fine.

chain_man does your GC interact perfectly with Zen Cart? Meaning...do the checkout orders go through both?

Thanks!

I get full order and customer information in my zc's Admin>Orders and Admin>Customers listings. The quantity on each product ordered is decremented appropriately in the products table. Shipping amount is reflected correctly. When I change status in GC, to Shipped for instance, the status is updated accordingly in my Admin.

There are a few things that don't adjust automatically, but I didn't know about them until someone else pointed them out. One is that there are no entries in the products sold reports. But, as I said, I don't use that report, so don't consider it significant for my store.

What do I use for the Google Checkout Return URL? It redirects to checkout process to process the order.

The problem is that zen cart is not processing the order.

However, everything is working perfectly on the google side. SSL certificate is in place and working great... no errors on google. Just not processing on the zen cart side.

Are you referring to the setting in GCO integration?

If so, set it to the full path of the responsehandler.php file.

Concerning, what to set the Google Checkout Return URL to:

Well, no. In Admin->Modules->Payment->GoogleCheckout

The field named Google Checkout Return URL.

It tells google where to go after the order has been processed by google. Just wondering what to put here so that Zen Cart processes the order.

Check the v1.4 support site at:

I believe there has been a bit of discussion on how to use that setting.

Ok, s it says in admin:
"redirects to checkout process to process the order"

So, I set it to checkout_process

Problem is, when I return to checkout_process it gives me the error:

"Whoops! Your session has expired." and prompts for a login.**

My host tells me that I am not php over cgi. However, I had to do the following to make it work:

1. Set permission to googlecheckout directory to 777
2. Configure .htaccess file
3. Set .htaccess Basic Authentication Mode to true.
4. Very important, press update
5. Change the permissions of the googlecheckout directory to 755

It works!

This is my own unique experience with Google Checkout. You may or may not be having the same issues and came up with the same solutions as me, but in the event that you are stuck, this is what I have learned.

1. The only checkout option I give my customers is Google Checkout. I removed the normal Checkout option because too many customers found it confusing that if they clicked the normal checkout button they couldn't then checkout through Google. Of course, Google is the only credit card processing service I offer and it works well for me. I have been strictly using Google Checkout for a month now and so far no problems. Since Google Checkout isn't charging any fees until 2008, this is also the most cost effective solution for me.

2. The shipping integration has just never seemed to work right, therefore, I decided to just charge a flat shipping fee and flat handling fee per item. I disabled all other shipping options including Free Shipping and this seems to work. I would like to, at some point, integrate with USPS and have it calculate correctly in Google Checkout, but right now it just doesn't seem to work right.

3. I've never had any problems with my sales tax. They seem to calculate correctly in Google Checkout. I do not like, however, how Google adds the sales tax to the price of the item and then in small font says THIS INCLUDES 8.25% SALES TAX. I think the Sales Tax should be a separate line item like Shipping and Handling.

4. I also wish that I didn't have to enter my coupon codes separatley in Google Checkout. This means if I want to offer a new coupon, I have to add it in Zen Cart and then add it in Google Checkout. Seems like my customers could just enter it before Checkout and it pass through to Google Checkout.

Don't know if this info will come in handy to anyone, but if you have a question, feel free to email me using the form on my site.

Thanks

Hello All,

Can anyone please tell me if zonal shipping rates are supported by the mod currently?

I read it supports "Merchant Calculated Shipping Rates", not sure if this links to Zonal rates in any way.

Please clarify, thanks!

Sorry if I posted this seperetly... Then relized there was a thread for all support...

I am trying to put in my "Percentage" shipping module in. Trying to follow this step of instructions:

1. Follow instructions contained in the INSTALLATION file.
2. Verify the installation from the Admin site and selecting MODULES->PAYMENTS
   and checking if Google Checkout is listed as a payment option.
3. Set the file attribute to 777 for /googlecheckout/response_error.log and
   /googlecheckout/response_message.log files.
4. Go to http://<url-site-url>/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php
   If you get a blank page, go to the next section. If you get any errors,
   you much correct all errors before proceeding. Refer to the trouble
   shooting section below or go to the support forum for help.

#4 I get the following: I get a window popping up looking foe a Username & Password. But I dont know what the U&P they are looking for. I tried my Zencart sign in and my server sign in. None of them worked.
Which U&P are they looking for??? This is what it is asking for in the window:

The server https://www.timeofyear.com at Google checkout Basic Authentication requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

Thanks

This is set from your Google Checkout account. Log in to your account and open the Settings tab. Select Integration from the links on the left side. About midway down you will see a box for API Callback URL. Enter the URL you have above for the hosting company's formatted link.

While you are there be sure to select XML for your callback method. Save and you should be good to go...

Does anyone know how long a Payout takes?

Generally a couple of days.

Ropu has announced the v.1.4 module is emerging from alpha and will be available as v.1.4-beta1 in zip format on Friday.

The mod will be nearly identical to v.1.4-alpha3. See the current changelog for feature support info.

Thanks to those whom provided alpha testing feedback. Additional beta testers and feedback are appreciated.

Check the mod support site for version update/release info.
