    Debug mode will tell you when an event is invalid and failed to register. It will tell you about missing attributes that are required and about invalid data types. Here's an example:

      1window.paypalInsight("config", "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", { debug: true });
      2

      5  page_type: "checkout",
      6  amount: { currency_code: "USD", value: "1.00" },
      7  // missing the "session_id" required attribute
      8  // missing the "user_data" required attribute
      9});
