Hi Ray,

It's normal! The OrderInfo.GrandTotal return a decimal value. By default .Net round decimal value with 4 digits precision, but it depends of the system config. Instead to deal with system config and to be sure your provider will work with any system config, you have to do some work:

1. Be aware with the system culture (another feature of .Net). In France decimal values are returned as 50,0000 (note the comma!). I suppose your provider API accept only decimal values as invariant culture like 50.00 (with a dot as separator). It's logical too! :-) In addition, DNN can use many different locale and in this case the current culture change accordingly. To be sure it always works, you have to define a CultureInfo object like this:
   
   CultureInfo ci_enUS = new CultureInfo("en-US");
   

2. The second trick is to use the string formater. Your API probably use some POSTed hidden fields to receive values? Then, you just have to set the amount field like this:
   
   AmountField = OrderInfo.GrandTotal.ToString("0.00", ci_enUS);

That's all! Look at the file PayPalPayment.ascx.cs inside the project DotNetNuke.Store.Cart.PayPalProvider for more details.
