Hello,
So far, I have been unable to use PayPal Payments Standard after watching videos, testing on my personal site online, and by reading the short tutorials on the web at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/integrate/ and by visiting the Code Spaces.
I am able to install the npm and needed third party libraries/modules.
I typed up the data for the /client/app.js and /client/checkout.html files. I also used /server/server.js for another file to test. With my site, I can achieve the paypal.com buttons but not the authority to checkout for testing purposes.
Also, I am testing from this github repo online: https://github.com/paypal-examples/docs-examples/tree/main/standard-integration
Please see the below photo for this idea:
I listened to the options in building the appliance online but have not used npm recently and am currently lacking in that dept. Anyway, if you can help, please send guidance...
Again...
My file for promoting the paypal Payments Standard are these listed below:
/var/www/Site/client/app.js
/var/www/Site/client/checkout.html
/var/www/Site/server/server.js
/var/www/Site/my_online_page.html
I know I should probably put in the credentials in /my_online_page.html instead of using checkout.html but I am just not sure as of now...

Good day @silver2row
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
Based on the error message you provided, it seems that there is an issue with your package.json file. The error suggests that there is an unexpected token "}" at position 182 in the JSON.
To resolve this issue, please ensure that your package.json file has a valid JSON. Make sure that all the JSON syntax is correct, including the opening and closing braces, commas, and quotes.
I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the support of the third-party platform (eCommerce) to cross check the integration code.
If you are still experiencing issues, please create an MTS ticket via the following URL - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US . Please ensure that you provide detailed information and error details when submitting the ticket.
Sincerely,
Kavya
