Square API, VALUE_TOO_LOW error when charging a card

0
votes

I am currently working with sandbox credentials for my companies Square Up account. When I make a web service call to charge a card with an amount that is under $100, I get the following error:

Error calling Charge: {\"errors\":[{\"category\":\"INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR\",\"code\":\"VALUE_TOO_LOW\",\"detail\":\"`amount_money.amount` must be greater than 100.\

I need to be able to charge for as low as $10 at a time. Is there some sort of setting in my companies account that needs to be changed in order to allow this? or is this a native Square setting that I cannot get around?

The amount you are charging (if in US dollars) is in cents, not dollars. So a charge of 100 would be $1. 10 would just be ten cents. Try multiplying your value by 100. See the documentation for more details.
