Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong category! I've created some PP smart buttons and when the transaction shows up in the PP account the amount is correct but it doesn't show any product description and I can not tell what item was purchased. I'm not an expert coder so I suspect my code is the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My code from one of my items (client id removed):

Good day @Temp20230911d,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
Yes, while performing the "Create Order" API call, merchant(i.e you) should pass the "items" value under "purchase_units" that the customer purchased which contains the name, quantity, description etc.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create!path=purchase_units/items&t=request
Please use the "Show order details" API to get the particular order details.
