API /v2/checkout/orders shipping not added to total

[icicic]

I'm sending the following to the orders endpoint, but the total requested does not include shipping, what do i need to change:

{
  "intent": "CAPTURE",
  "application_context": {
    "return_url": "https://mydomain.localhost/cart/checkout-success",
    "cancel_url": "https://mydomain.localhost/cart/checkout-success"
  },
  "purchase_units": [
    {
      "items": [
        {
          "name": "Cubik",
          "description": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame",
          "quantity": 1,
          "unit_amount": { "currency_code": "GBP", "value": "10" }
        },
        {
          "name": "product 1",
          "description": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame",
          "quantity": 1,
          "unit_amount": { "currency_code": "GBP", "value": "15" }
        }
      ],
      "amount": {
        "value": 25,
        "currency_code": "GBP",
        "breakdown": {
          "item_total": {
            "currency_code": "GBP",
            "value": "25",
            "shipping": "4.50"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Good day @icicic,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum.

I could see that you have placed the "Shipping" under "item_total" object. 

Can you please try placing the "Shipping"object inside "breakdown" object.

got it, shipping needs to be an object and include currency_code

Yes , "Shipping" is an object which needs to include "currency_code & value" inside "breakdown" object.
