send order amount and shipping as separate line items to PayPal?

Is it possible to send the order (product) amount, shipping amount, and sales tax amount to PayPal as separate line items? As it is now, my PayPal account is simply displaying a "grand total" amount representing product price + tax + shipping.

Thanks!

Sounds like you're using "Website Payments Standard" which sends an aggregate sum instead of "Express Checkout" which sends the detailed line-items automatically.

I think there's an option in Website Payments Standard to turn on detailed line items. You might click 'Edit' on the payment module and see if you can find it.
