NVP API Method and Field
Reference
General Characteristics of Requests and Parameters
Parameters
The request parameter string follows the query component syntax defined in Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax. Parameter names and their values can be upper- or lowercase.
We show parameter names in uppercase for clarity. All values must be URL-encoded.
Multi-Value Fields
Fields that accept multiple values have names like this:
L_FIELDNAMEn
where L_ is literal, FIELDNAME is the name of the parameter, and n is an index number,
starting at 0 and incremented by one for each value of the field. Index numbers must be
sequential.
For example, if an order contains multiple items, you can add an item cost for each item using
the L_
AMTn parameter:
L_AMT0=4.95&L_AMT1=6.72&L_AMT2=7.95
