Hello,
This week I've had two orders come in and the notification email shows "shopping cart" in the description field instead of the actual item. When I log into PayPal to see the order details though, the correct item is listed. (screenshot of both the notification email and order details side-by-side). Identifying info has been redacted of course.
I've had this shopping cart going for years and never seen this issue before. Any ideas what might be going on?

I just got an email from PayPal, they say it's fixed I'll paste below.
I'm in a bit of an order lull right now so I may not see an actual new order come in for a few days to confirm this.
