Pass an array of items to purchase_units

[cxxxv1]

Trying to pass an array of items in array 'tixtopurch'. Array is created as follows:

tixtopurch.push([{"name":PLAYNAME,
"description":SCHEDDATE + ' SEAT: ' + seatInfo.settings.label,
"unit_amount":{"currency_code":"USD","value":seatInfo.data().price},
"quantity":"1"}]);

purchase_units: [{
amount: {
currency_code: "USD",
value: ppFEE.toFixed(2),
breakdown: {
item_total: {
currency_code: "USD",
value: ppFEE.toFixed(2)
}
}
},
items: tixtopurch

Paypal returns a malformed request error. If I enter the items directly in the items then it works. Have not been able to find why it does not like the array.

Good day @cxxxv1,

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.
