Question

I am requesting a setExpressCheckout call from paypal and I’m receiving the error code 10413. It was working perfectly fine until I took the tax away from the item total and added &PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT into the request. Here is the request url:

https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp?
METHOD=setExpressCheckout&VERSION=87.0
&USER=XXXXXXXXXX
&PWD=XXXXXXXXXX
&SIGNATURE=XXXXXXXXXX
&RETURNURL=XXXXXXXXXX

&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=Hy+Guardian+Fly+Rug

&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_DESC0=Size%3A+4+ft+6%2C+Size%3A+4+ft+6%2C+Size%3A+4+ft+6%2C+Size%3A+4+ft+6
&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=47.00
&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=1
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=GBP
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=37.60
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT=11.25
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT=9.40
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=58.25

Answer 1

As per my comments,

It seems your total amount is different to your item total amount.

i.e.

&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=GBP
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=37.60
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT=11.25
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT=9.40
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=58.25

Shows 58.25

Yet

L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=47.00

Shows 47.00

The price mismatch is likely to cause this problem 😉
