Last updated: April 23, 2025

When you specify an amount in an API request, you must format the value based on the currency you specify to ensure we process the correct amount. For example, when you request a payment or request an authentication session.

Depending on the currency, you may need to provide:

Additionally, the value you provide in the payment request's amount field must:

Be greater than zero
Not contain decimals
Not contain more than 9 digits

For the following currencies, the amount you specify determines the final amount, without any additional calculations. For example, the following payment request with amount set to 100 results in a charge of 100 Japanese Yen:


1{
2  "source": {
3    "type": "card",
4    "number": "4242424242424242",
5    "expiry_month": 12,
6    "expiry_year": 2030
7  },
8  "amount": 100,
9  "currency": "JPY"
10}
