Field Description
PAYMENTREQUEST_
n_AMT
AMT (deprecated)
The total cost of the transaction to the buyer. If shipping cost (not applicable to
digital goods) and tax charges are known, include them in this value. If not, this
value should be the current sub-total of the order. If the transaction includes one
or more one-time purchases, this field must be equal to the sum of the purchases.
Set this field to 0 if the transaction does not include a one-time purchase such as
when you set up a billing agreement for a recurring payment that is not
immediately charged. Purchase-specific fields are ignored. You can specify up
to 10 payments, where
n is a digit between 0 and 9, inclusive; except for digital
goods, which supports single payments only. For digital goods, the following
must be true:
 total cost > 0
 total cost <= total cost passed in the call to SetExpressCheckout
Character length and limitations: Value is a positive number which cannot
exceed $10,000 USD in any currency. It includes no currency symbol. It must
have 2 decimal places, the decimal separator must be a period (.), and the
optional thousands separator must be a comma (,).
AMT is deprecated since version 63.0. Use PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT instead.
PAYMENTREQUEST_
n_CURRE
NCYCODE
CURRENCYCODE (deprecated)
A 3-character currency code. Default: USD.
You can specify up to 10 payments, where

SetExpressCheckout. You can specify up to 10 payments, where
n is a digit
between 0 and 9, inclusive; except for digital goods, which supports single
payments only.
