Paypal Checkout Express doesn't show the order details

Question

I'm using the lib PayPal-PHP-SDK on Laravel 4

and I have a problem with showing the order details. I followed the steps from Paypal Web Checkout and it doesn't showing me the order details.

it says "You'll be able to see your order details before you pay." - Image Link

This is the method when I get the link to the payment:

public function checkout()
{
    $apiContext = new ApiContext($this->cred, 'Request' . time());
    $apiContext->setConfig($this->sdkConfig);

    $payer = new Payer();
    $payer->setPaymentMethod("paypal");

    $amount = new Amount();
    $amount->setCurrency("EUR");
    $amount->setTotal("10");

    $transaction = new Transaction();
    $transaction->setDescription("Example");
    $transaction->setCustom('abv');
    $transaction->setAmount($amount);

    $redirectUrls = new RedirectUrls();
    $redirectUrls->setReturnUrl(URL::to('/') . '/payment/success/');
    $redirectUrls->setCancelUrl(URL::to('/') . '/payment/cancel/');


    $payment = new Payment();
    $payment->setIntent("sale");
    $payment->setPayer($payer);
    $payment->setRedirectUrls($redirectUrls);
    $payment->setTransactions(array($transaction));

    $payment->create($apiContext);

    print $payment->getApprovalLink();

}

I don't see any itemized details in your request. It would help to see a sample of the raw request getting sent to PayPal, but from what I can see those parameters are simply not getting included.

On a side note, you may be interested in checking out my PHP class library for PayPal. It's available on GitHub and Packagist and works with Composer, so it works very nicely with Laravel, and it's a lot easier to use than PayPal's SDK. It sets up all the parameters you might want to use, including itemized details, so all you have to do is fill in the parameters and you're done.
