How to add a description to square line item?

CHN — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:46:00 GMT

I'm having some trouble to add a description after the product name in Checkout API from Square.

This is how I add an item. (It works)

    $price = new \SquareConnect\Model\Money;
    $price->setAmount((int)str_replace(".","", $_SESSION['shippingCost']));
    $price->setCurrency('CAD');

    //Create the line item and set details
    $book = new \SquareConnect\Model\CreateOrderRequestLineItem;
    $book->setName($_SESSION['language']['shipping']." (".$_SESSION['shippingService'].")");

    //DESCRIPTION HERE

    $book->setQuantity((string) count($_SESSION['products']));
    $book->setBasePriceMoney($price);
    array_push($lineItems, $book);

Here is a reference of what I want to achieve. Image

@CHN - Thanks for stopping by!

I talked with our API Team about this who informed me that adding an item description in the checkout API isn't available. I've tagged this has a feature request and moved you post to the API Board so our Product Team can keep an eye out if anything changes!

Set the item name under "name"

Set the description under that specific line item "note". It worked perfectly for me.
