$400.00

Unfortunately, this amount will not be automatically generated, and you will need to enter it in the “Payment Amount” field. There will be a fee amount that appears just to the right of the Payment Amount Field, and then the Total Amount to the right of that. This is because there is a processing fee. The amount that will be charged to your card is the Total Amount.

You will enter $400.00 in the Payment Amount Field.
