Google Checkout - Carrier Calculated shipping problem [semi-solved]

proteinshake Total Posts: 24 Joined: 2008-05-12 Ignore user	mikefifield - 10 June 2008 10:06 AM @ Serge I keep getting the following error in my google integration consol: “URL you are using for merchant calculations is not valid or is not https http://www.rawjuicers.com/googlecheckout/api/—the error we got is: An HTTPS URL is required” My shipping is set to “Carrier Calculated” but keeps showing all $0 as the cost for shipping. How can I get the Carrier Calculated setting to work correctly? I am getting that error too after I went live. I was testing around to find the source of the problem and in System>Config>Web>Unsecure I changed the unsecure URL to my Secure URL and it correctly calculated my shipping without any errors from the integration console. I tried the hack you did to the checkout.php file and it didn’t work for me. Did you ever find a solution?

mikefifield Total Posts: 34 Joined: 2008-05-24 Ignore user	@proteinshake Yes I got it working by replacing all the files posted by Serge and then hard coding the secure url as described in an earlier post. http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/5960/P45/#t35834 Hope this helps.

After an hour of faffing around I’ve managed to get rid of the error thanks to mikefifield sorted but now I still have the huge problem of the shipping not being added. Surely as one of the core payment methods this should be resolved by now?!?

pritch20001 Total Posts: 51 Joined: 2008-05-31 Ignore user	Is this the same cause as the issue I have, where google checkout not recognising that free shipping should only apply to orders over £50 as per my free shipping method? Please?

ODB Total Posts: 139 Joined: 2008-02-06 London Ignore user	My issue is that google checkout does not correctly add shipping onto any order.

barrmy Total Posts: 64 Joined: 2008-06-03 Ignore user	I’m having the same problem as etho.... the shipping charges will not pass (the integration error there is “URL you are using for merchant calculations is not valid or is not https http://www.techconcert.com/googlecheckout/api/—the error we got is: An HTTPS URL is required.") and I get a 401 when trying to complete the order ("We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.techconcert.com/googlecheckout/api/—the error we got is: Send failed with code: 401. Response body was: Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers") This is pretty frustrating as it was the only reason I got SSL since paypal ipn works fine and I won’t be taking CC directly...i tried everything in this thread and nothing is working.... edit I was able to solve the https url problem using protenshake’s solution, hardcoding the url into the checkout file (i just went ahead and added the url w/o a variable)..i’m worried that will break when 1.1 comes out....so the 401 is the only issue now, i’m not using php over cgi....

I understand that you’ve been experiencing issues with Carrier Calculated Shipping. ->Well Yeah it has not worked since release. What use is “Carrier Calculated Shipping” when it does not accurately “Calculate Shipping” Doesn’t Google test anything? I’ve previously informed our engineers of these issues and we’re currently working on solutions. ->But you have not actually fixed anything, and the current released code is returning wildly inaccurate results. Is this stated in the docs somewhere: Carrier Calculated shipping returns results +/- 30% ??????? In regards to the shipping fee inconsistency, the system was updated several weeks ago. ->The results were off by 20-30% for UPS and Fedex and USPS in many cases returned no meaningful results and in many cases would charge the customer $0.00 for shipping express mail packages instead of the actually cost of hundreds of dollars This update brought Carrier Calculated rates within several dollars of the UPS/Fedex results. ->Flat out untrue! And even if it were true why is it “within several dollars”? It should be exact not an estimate! Again where in the docs is it revealed that the results returned are “within several dollars” and not accurate as they should be We still have one additional update to perform to match UPS/Fedex rates. ->Why is this so hard? Why not call the shippers APIs directly like everyone else? This update is currently undergoing testing before it’s released. ->This is a joke. You did not test the previous releases. I am sure this is not going to change. I believe that you have some useful feedback about Carrier Calculated Shipping and would like to setup sometime for a phone call. What day/ time would work best for you? ->It is nice you have time to talk on the phone. I think maybe instead you should spend your time fixing the code! Here is all the useful feedback you need. Carrier Calculated Shipping Does Not Return Accurate Results and it Should DOWN TO THE PENNY! Thanks, Peng ->No Thanks Peng!

enru Total Posts: 8 Joined: 2008-06-16 Ignore user	As requested.... magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php Fixed getRouteUrl() and getBaseUrl() methods. Ideally Varien should implement setSecure() method in this class. FYI this will get overwritten if you ever update the Core Modules. public function getRouteUrl($routePath=null, $routeParams=null) { $this->unsetData('route_params'); if (!is_null($routePath)) { $this->setRoutePath($routePath); } if (is_array($routeParams)) { $this->setRouteParams($routeParams, false); } //$url = $this->getBaseUrl().$this->getRoutePath($routeParams); //<== bugfix / removed $url = $this->getBaseUrl($routeParams).$this->getRoutePath($routeParams); //<== bugfix return $url; } public function getBaseUrl($params=array()) { if (isset($params['_store'])) { $this->setStore($params['_store']); } if (isset($params['_type'])) { $this->setType($params['_type']); } $useSecure= (bool) $this->getSecure(); //<== bugfix updated 2008-08-08 if (isset($params['_secure'])) { $this->setSecure($params['_secure']); $useSecure= true; //<== bugfix } //return $this->getStore()->getBaseUrl($this->getType(), $this->getSecure());//<== bugfix / removed return $this->getStore()->getBaseUrl($this->getType(), $useSecure); //<== bugfix }

etho201 Total Posts: 85 Joined: 2008-04-03 Summerville, SC Ignore user	Thanks for uploading the file here! I tried the fix but then Google Checkouts Integration console reported an error. The good news (in my opinion) is that I’m getting a different error than usual. Instead of: We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://secure.siteurl.com/googlecheckout/api/?SID=F4ftxKGd1RUoBHp4FqSjy7ikAZfX4hHda38gh/QkfQp?—the error we got is: Sending failed with HTTP response code: 401. Response body was: Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers I get: Error parsing XML; message from parser is: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed. `<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined method GoogleResponse::HttpAuthentication() in <b>/home/user/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/GoogleCheckout/Model/Api/Xml/Callback.php</b> on line <b>47</b><br />` Line 47: $status = $this->getGResponse()->HttpAuthentication(); I don’t know what to make of the XML parsing error. I’ll do some searching to see if I can figure out something. Signature http://www.omnivariety.com

Did you not delete that method? http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/5960/#t29013 Try updating to the latest Magento Release and then applying my fix or restoring any amends you made to /lib/googlecheckout/googleresponse.php .

I will try again and refresh the cache this time to see if I get different results. I think my problem has something to do with php and cgi, does your fix address that?
