5. Installing the Zen Cart Checkout by Amazon module
Please refer to the plugin’s installation guide text files that come with the plugin for updated information. Also, please be advised that the plugin actually consists of two separate parts: the main module (called CBA) and the refund extension that depends on the CBA part (called REFUND).
5.1. Installing main part
Complete section 5.1.1 for existing ZenCart configuration or section 5.1.2 for a fresh install. Then continue with section 5.1.3. Detailed information can also be found in the INSTALLATION_GUIDE_CBA.txt file included in the plugin’s archive.
5.1.1. Installation to integrate Checkout by Amazon in an existing ZenCart configuration:
To integrate Checkout by Amazon in an existing Zen Cart configuration, you will need add new files and modify some existing files within Zen Cart as described below:
I. Copy the files from CBA/new_files directory to your ZENCART_DIR/ II. Modify the shopping cart template file:
Search for the following code in line no. 153 – 157:
Add the following Code after the above lines i.e. line no 158:
Note: Line no’s may not be exactly the same as mentioned here. Please take extra care when adding the code and always backup your files before making any modifications.
III. Now go to your Zen Cart Administration > Modules > Payment and select Checkout by Amazon and click on the install button to install the configuration settings.
5.1.2– Installation with a fresh installation
I. Copy the files from the CBA/new_files directory to your ZENCART_DIR/
II. Copy the file CBA/modified_files/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_ default.php to ZENCART_DIR/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_ default. php. This will overwrite the existing file.
<div class=”buttonRow back”><?php echo ‘<a href=”javascript:popupWindow(\’’ . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_SHIPPING_ESTIMATOR) . ‘\’)”>’ . zen_image_
button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SHIPPING_ESTIMATOR, BUTTON_SHIPPING_ESTIMATOR_ALT) . ‘</a>’; ?></div><?php }?>
<!-- ** BEGIN CHECKOUT BY AMAZON ** -->
<?php // the button template displays CBA button if cart contents >0 and val-ue >0 if (defined(‘MODULE_PAYMENT_CBA_STATUS’) && MODULE_PAYMENT_CBA_STATUS == ‘True’) { include_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG . ‘checkout_by_amazon/includes/button. php’);}?>
III. Now Sign in to your Zen Cart Administration > Modules > Payment and select Checkout by Amazon and click on the install button to install the configuration settings.
5.1.3 – Configuring cron Job
Please configure or ask your hosting provider to configure a cron job that can run once in 5 or 10 min-utes. You can also use one of the many free cron job services on the internet. This cron job ensures that the orders and order statuses are synched up with Amazon on a regular basis. Please refer example below for a sample cron job configuration.
IMPORTANT: If you want to manage orders placed through Checkout By Amazon on your website, setting up the cron job is mandatory.
This cron is required to keep your orders in sync with Amazon Seller Central Order system.
Note: Some Hosting provider will not allow you to set cron run once in 5 or 10 minutes. In such case, please contact hosting provider for appropriate configurations.
5.2. Installing REFUND functionality
If you wish to install the refund functionality of the plugin, you have to install the refund extension (REFUND) after installing the main part (CBA). As this installation is rather complex, please follow the steps outlined in the INSTALLATION_GUIDE_REFUND.txt file included in the plugin’s archive.

Operating Environment: Select your operating environment, Sandbox (testing) or Production (live orders). Please use the Sandbox environment for configuration and testing purposes before enabling Amazon Payments in your ‘Production’ environment. Please be aware that, as soon as you switch to Production, you have to have a valid SSL certificate installed on your server to be able to receive our IOPN messages. 6.2 – Input your Amazon Gateway keys into your account. (See Fig 4.2)
6.3 – Configure your order management settings Enable Order Management: Enable this feature to view and manage (ship, refund, or cancel) Checkout by Ama-zon orders within the Admin Order UI without logging in to Seller Central. Before you enable this feature make sure you have set up the cron job properly.
Order status mapping: Is required to map the amazon order status with your own custom status in this site. If the recommended status is *not* available, please add it by going to your order status page For example, http:// mystore/admin/orders_status.php
Order currency: The selection depends on your Amazon Payments merchant account. Please select GBP if you have a UK merchant account. Please select EUR if you have a DE merchant account.
Instant Order Processing Notification (IOPN): IMPORTANT: To be able to receive updates on your orders from Amazon Payments, and in order to see the orders in your shop’s backend, enable IOPN, you should need to have an https enabled IOPN endpoint.
Your IOPN End point is https://www.yourdomain.com/ checkout_by_amazon.php
Go to Seller Central > Settings > Checkout Pipeline Settings > Instant Order Processing Notification Settings. Click the “Edit” button and update the Merchant URL.
Please make sure your https endpoint is secured by a valid SSL certificate that is correctly chained and issued by a trusted authority. If you do not have your own SSL certificate you may use a proxy certifi-cate, but you will have to set the appropriate proxy endpoint URL in Seller Central. You can check the status of your SSL certificate on one of the various free SSL check services on the internet.

6.5 – Amazon Payments Logo Placement:

6.6 – You should verify customers can successfully place an order through Amazon Payments and it can be managed in the ZenCart backend. To do this, we recommend placing a test order on your website.
Log out of Amazon Seller Central and add at least one item to your ZenCart store
(ideally take the cheapest item in the shop).
Pay with Amazon Payments using an Amazon customer account (not your seller account).
After a few minutes the customer account will receive a shipping confirmation email from Amazon. As the customer account will be charged, you should now process a full refund.
