Field Description
OrderTotal ebl:BasicAmountType
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. For digital goods, the
following must be true:
