Hello, why does pesapal put a limit of 100,000 uganda shillings for payments. I keep getting this message
Problem: parameter_rejected | Advice: invalid_value_amount_exceeds_limit> oauth_parameters_rejected | 150%2C000.00
when i supply amount exceeding 100k. Thanks

Hi Latigo,

Pesapal puts a limit to maximum amount one can transact for financial security reasons. Please contact pesapal on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and you will assisted with the limit issue.

Thanks for the reply. I had previously read in this forum that a limit of KES 70000 (~UGX 2million) is placed on every transaction. So i was wondering why i cannot transact as low as 100000 UGX.
developer.pesapal.com/forum/2-pesapal-in...t=6&start=6#128. I am still using the demo API.

Please ensure your country selection in demo Pesapal account is set to Uganda.

Interestingly enough, my country is set to UG from my profile on demo. Thats Uganda i hope.
Country: UG
City: Kampala

Some how the PHP version is working, because i had KES set as as currency. I am still figuring out why the Node.js version gives the same error with currency to UGX. Any ideas?

I just found out why it was'nt working in NODE.js. There was a small issue in the node module-pesapaljs. The author had ommited the currency field while preparing the xml. The file xml.js in folder "node_modules\pesapaljs\lib\internal" had the above problem. Pesapal probably used the default currency. I will submit this change to the git repo
