Why did I get error code 10413?
PayPal returned API error code 10413 - Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details. The totals of the cart item amounts do not match order amounts.
Cause
The value of PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT doesn't equal the sum of the following:
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT (required)
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT (optional)
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT (optional)
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_HANDLINGAMT (optional)
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPDISCAMT (optional)
- PAYMENTREQUEST_0_INSURANCEAMT (optional)
Solution
To resolve this issue, check that the sum of the values equals the value of PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT.
Here is an example:
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=524.20 // Total
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=458.00 // item * quantity + other items * quantity = ITEMAMT
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT=20.00 // shipping total
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT=46.20 // tax total
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=Books
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=154.00 // 154.00 * 2 = 308.00
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=2
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME1=CDs
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT1=50.00 // 50.00 * 3 = 150.00
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY1=3
308.00 + 150.00 = 458.00 (same as ITEMAMT)
20.00 // shipping
46.20 // tax
524.20 // AMT
