Add tax to a PayPal Order, or provide line item detail

Need help Plugins

Is anyone able to add tax to their paypal order using any of the plugins?

I’m not able to see this capability in any of the plugins. I had hoped I could configure some settings within PayPal to auto-calculate taxes for all checkout sessions — and there is some capability in PayPal to do this — but after talking to their support, it seems when using the REST service for creating orders, one needs to explicitly add this detail to the order.

All existing plugins seem to be missing a Tax component. I would like to be able to break the purchase down into Item Sub-Total and Tax either by having such fields in the plugin, OR IDEALLY, being able to specify the JSON object for the Purchase Units and provide Line Item detail, like this:

"purchase_units": [
    {
        "amount": {
            "currency_code": "CAD",
            "value": "210.00",
            "breakdown": {
                "item_total": {
                    "currency_code": "CAD",
                    "value": "200.00"
                },
                "tax_total": {
                    "currency_code": "CAD",
                    "value": "10.00"
                }
            }
        },
        "items": [
            {
                "name": "My Cool Product",
                "description": "My cool product description",
                "unit_amount": {
                    "currency_code": "CAD",
                    "value": "100.00"
                },
                "tax": {
                    "currency_code": "CAD",
                    "value": "5.00"
                },
                "quantity": "2"
            }
        ]
    }
]

Is anyone doing more than showing just Total Amount and Product Name"? Did you have to custom build something?

Thanks for listening.

If a plugin doesn’t support it, then you can use API.

@net-tt , Yep, that’s exactly what I’ve done. I was hoping to avoid this work. Surprised nobody has productized this. Thanks for pointing out the ChatGPT link.
