Google Checkout Module?

[carver6]

I'm jumping back into osCMax after several years. Stumbled into Google Checkout and want to use it. Have found a couple mods but its unclear if I need to cut an paste code or just install the module. Anyone who has installed a mod for Google Checkout on osCMax have comments / recommendations?

I have not had a chance to delve into the code. It is on my to do list, but that just keeps getting longer.

My recommendation is to take a look at the files included in the google checkout mod, and compare them with a diff tool against the oscmax RC3.01 files to get a good idea of what code changes are needed.

I am planning to do this in the next week or so, but if you can't wait, go ahead and take a peek under the hood...

When you do port it over to osCMax, PLEASE modify it so as it can use the FedEX, UPS, and USPS shipping modules. Without those, the whole point of using Google Checkout is moot for my webstores, and I desperately need Google Checkout for my shop.

Thanks.

I too am very interested in Google Checkout. Free processing for the rest of the year is a great deal and I would like to take advatage of this.

Thanks,

I have an alpha of the osCommerce google checkout module that I have ported to osCMax. I do not have a google checkout account though, so I cannot test this.

Please note that I am not sure if it works yet, but if you have a test shop available that you can install this on, please give it a try. I make no guarantees, so backup your files before uploading this. Once you have made a backup of your files, just upload the files in this zip to your osCMax installation.

I did install this on my dev shop and it did not cause any problems and it did allow me to go to the google checkout page, but since I don't have an account...

Do not use this on a live store. Only for testing.

If you use this on a test store, post feedback as to how it works, any errors, etc, to this thread.

Well, the module falls into place correctly, however there is no checkout option, it doesn't direct the carts contents to the Google Checkout servers.

The admin portion of setting it up, etc all seems to work, however as mentioned above, there it does not direct the carts contents to the Google Checkout servers, it just automatically directs itself to the "Thank You" screen for checkout, and back to the index.php file.

Hmmm... It doesn't do that for me... Back to work.

Questions:

Thank you page redirect : does it go to googles thankyou page or osCMax's?

When you say no checkout option, do you not see the Google Checkout button on the shopping cart page or the login page?

[michael_s]

Ok,

Here is how it works for me...

1. Google Checkout buton appears on shopping cart or login page. See screenshots below.

2. Clicking takes me to google checkout with the cart contents. Again see screenshots. If it is not working for you, let me know specifically what the issue is, or where I should be looking. I may repackage the mod for you if I can narrow down where the issue is.

I forgot about that... i'm so used to using the osC 'checkout' button. Heh.

Anyways, everything seems to be up and up, when it goes to the button actually showing up. I'm not using the 'fallback' template though, i'm using a custom AlgoZone template, however the button is showing up reguardless. I compared the shopping_cart.tpl.php & login.tpl.php files of both the default fallback & the algozone template with a diff tool and both are identical with no differences.

However I am receiving an error on the shopping_cart.php & login.php pages:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/invisix/domains/prideofnature.com/public_html/googlecheckout/gcheckout.php on line 273

I'd much MUCH appriciate it if you could help out with that.

And also an error directly from the Google Checkout server:

Oops! Pride of Nature has sent Google a shopping cart with errors in it. We'll contact them to ask that they fix this problem. As this could be a temporary issue, you can go back in your browser to try checking out again.

Checking the Google Checkout error log it appears to be an XML Parsing error.
