Also - some of you are interested in being able to add item detail to the Payment request - in order to add 1 or more items to the PayPalPayment manifest - and - it does look cleaner and more professional to the buyer.
Here's a quick tutorial to add items to your payPal Manifest:(be SURE TO BACKUP your project before you make significant changes like this - just in case):
First - Change your PayPalPayment Service (that's what I called it in the original tutorial above). Here's how you adapt what you already have - into what's required....Remember - you are changing the "REQUEST" tab (not the response please).
2.Next - Map data into the new fields on the request. In this example - I'm adding only 1 item to the Payment Request (you can obviously have multiple items - but you would ADD those to an array of items - prior to execution of this mapping - and do that in Javascript - examples, sample code, etc. - upon request .... again that's a bit more significant piece of work - and it requires some coaching from me that I cannot deliver here in this post. You're up to it though I know it!!!)
Here's an example mapping for a single item (to the new fields in the request):
And Viola!!! PayPal responds by showing you the list of items on the left side of their Payment UI :
