Currencies in the API

The Neon API primarily handles amounts in the smallest unit of the currency, e.g. cents for USD. So, for example, when creating a standalone checkout with an item that costs $4.99, you'll pass in 499 as the price; for an item costing EUR£249.99, pass in 24999. This is also true for amount data returned by the API, e.g. the GET /purchases endpoint.

For currencies that do not have a cent-like unit, called zero-decimal currencies or ZDCs, we represent the amount in our API as 100x the amount of the base unit. For example, a purchase of JPY¥500 is represented in our API as 50000, and you should pass in 50000 to create an item with price JPY¥500.

This applies to the following currencies:

• Chilean pesos (CLP)
• Japanese yen (JPY)
• Korean won (KRW)

Payouts and reporting

The one exception to this rule is that our reports display all numbers in the base unit of the currency, e.g. dollars for USD or yen for JPY. For example, a purchase of USD$4.99 is represented in the reports CSV as 4.99, and a purchase of JPY¥500 is represented as 500.
