Including Line Items in Requests {#paypal-create-order-line-items}
==================================================================

Unique items in your customers' purchases can be itemized as line items when you create or manage an order.  
*Line items* are used to include information about each item, such as product name, quantity, and price.  
Line items are included in a request in the lineItem\[\] array request field.  
These fields are required for each line item in your request:
