Solution

  • The last time I played with this I was using API version 113 (which is over a year old now).

    I think you've just really only missed the per-item tax amount.

    The PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT field should be equal to the sum of each item's amount (L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMTn) exclusive of tax, multiplied by the quantity. So you should have

    'L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0' => 31.82,
'L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT1' => 31.82,
'PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT' => 63.64

    PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT is the sum of each item's tax amount (L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMTn) multiplied by the quantity. You haven't specified the item tax amount but let's say it's something like

    'L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT0' => 3.18,
'L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT1' => 3.18,
'PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT' => 6.36

    Finally, PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT is the sum of PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT and PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT plus any shipping

    'PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT' => 70.00
