important here is the item_list and the way it is nested. See StackOverflow and PayPals extended payment capabilities for further details.

As with the previous post an access token is obtained and that token is now used as a way to make a PayPal payment. All the standalone Credit Card processes have been stripped from PayPals sample code along with the execution code, which is something that needs to be placed within the page that is located at your return_url.

To make this work you need to place your own values within the $clientId and $secret variables as well replace the generic return_url and cancel_url within the $payment variable.
