Limit for payment

Bindu — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:42:01 GMT

I am trying to integrate square card payment in our website, Do you have any limit in processing a card?

Actually when i try to make a transaction with less than $100, the response i receive is like this

{"errors":[{"category":"INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR","code":"VALUE_TOO_LOW","detail":"`amount_money.amount` must be greater than 100.","field":"amount_money.amount"}]}

Is it possible to change this in my account settings or some where else to allow amounts less than $100?

A $100 transaction shouldn't be a problem, but we do have a requirement for a transaction to be at least a dollar in value.

Are you seeing this error while using our E-commerce API?

Hey Bindu (and anyone else who found this as the first Google result for VALUE_TOO_LOW or similar) - pay attention to this note from Square:

# Monetary amounts are specified in the smallest unit of the applicable currency.

If you're working in USD, for example, then you need to pass the amount in pennies. So to Square, 100 is just $1.00. $100 would be 10000.
