Pay with Paypal through Paypal REST API does not show up payment description on Paypal Sandbox or live sites

Question

I am implementing Paypal\'s new REST API Pay with Paypal method that can be referenced here: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/web/accept-paypa

Answer 1

The left hand pan in above page displays: 1. Item details from order. You can include item list as part of the transaction details in payment resource. The same will be displayed here. 2. Components of the transaction amount e.g. shipping amount, tax, etc. if you include them in request.

Try this request to see example:

{
    "intent": "sale",
    "payer": {
        "payment_method": "paypal"
    },
    "redirect_urls": {
        "return_url": "http://<return url>",
        "cancel_url": "http://<cancle url>"
    },
    "transactions": [
        {
            "amount": {
                "total": "8.00",
                "currency": "USD",
                "details": {
                    "subtotal": "6.00",
                    "tax": "1.00",
                    "shipping": "1.00"
                }
            },
            "description": "This is payment description.",
            "item_list": { 
                "items":[
                    {
                        "quantity":"3", 
                        "name":"Hat", 
                        "price":"2.00",  
                        "sku":"product12345", 
                        "currency":"USD"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Thank you. Madhu remember to use the rest-api library!

Details amountDetails = new Details();
                    amountDetails.setSubtotal(autoregistro.getPedido().getItems().get(0).getTotal().toPlainString());
                    amountDetails.setTax("0");
                    amountDetails.setShipping("0");

                    Amount amount = new Amount();
                    amount.setCurrency("USD");
                    amount.setTotal(autoregistro.getPedido().getItems().get(0).getTotal().toPlainString());
                    // amount.setTotal("7.47"); // Los decimales deben ser con punto
                    amount.setDetails(amountDetails);

                    Item item = new Item();
                    item.setCurrency("USD");
                    item.setQuantity("1");
                    item.setName(autoregistro.getPedido().getItems().get(0).getDescripcion());
                    item.setPrice(amountDetails.getSubtotal());

                    List<Item> items = new ArrayList<Item>();
                    items.add(item);

                    ItemList itemList = new ItemList();
                    itemList.setItems(items);

                    Transaction transaction = new Transaction();
                    transaction.setDescription(item.getName());
                    transaction.setAmount(amount);
                    transaction.setItemList(itemList);

                    List<Transaction> transactions = new ArrayList<Transaction>();
                    transactions.add(transaction);

                    Payer payer = new Payer();
                    payer.setPaymentMethod("paypal");
                    // payer.setPaymentMethod("credit_card");

                    Payment payment = new Payment();
                    payment.setIntent("sale");
                    payment.setPayer(payer);
                    payment.setTransactions(transactions);
                    RedirectUrls redirectUrls = new RedirectUrls();
                    redirectUrls.setCancelUrl(this.configParameters.getAutoregistroURL() + "/pay_paypal?cancel=true");
                    redirectUrls.setReturnUrl(this.configParameters.getAutoregistroURL() + "/pay_paypal?success=true");
                    payment.setRedirectUrls(redirectUrls);

                    Payment createdPayment = payment.create(apiContext);
