15                pageType: 'product-details',
16                style: {
17                    layout: 'text',
18                    logo: {
19                        type: 'primary',
20                        position: 'top'
21                    }
22                },
23                onRender: () => {
24                    console.log('render')
25                },
26                onClick: () => {
27                    console.log('click')
28                },
29                onApply: () => {
30                    console.log('apply')
31                }
32            })
33            .render('.pp-message');
34    </script>
35</body>

In the previous example, you create a message object by calling the paypal.Messages function with a configuration object that includes optional properties for onRender, onClick, and onApply.

The functions in this example log in the console that an event has occurred. Refer to your analytics platform's documentation on how to log when a custom event has occurred and put that code in the function body of the event hook properties of the messages configuration object.
