Purchase currency |
Three-letter ISO code, for example EUR. Must be a currency your PayPal account can receive, see the list below. Default USD. |
|
Price of one credit |
What a user pays for one credit, in the purchase currency. Up to four decimal places. With 2, paying 10 buys 5 credits. Default 1. |
|
Smallest purchase |
The smallest amount a user can pay, in whole units of the currency. Card fees are a fixed amount plus a percentage, so very small purchases can cost more to process than they are worth. 0 means no limit of your own. |
|
Largest purchase |
The largest amount a user can pay, in whole units of the currency. 0 means no limit of your own. PayPal's own limits apply on top, and users are offered whichever is stricter. |
Users always buy whole credits. The amount charged is rounded up to the smallest unit of the currency, so the user receives exactly the number of credits they asked for.
