 * Hi there
 * The Paypal submit button requests an id for the “quantity” field and the “amount”
   field. I would have thought amount and quantity are both about the number of 
   units to order.
 * What is the difference between either fields?

 * Hello,
 * Amount is value of any item, and Quantity is number of items, so when you make
   payment the total amount would be Amount * Quantity. EG. 5 items of price $10
   per each, total amount would be 10 * 5 = $50.
 * Hope this helps you. Feel free to contact anytime for further support.
 * Thanks,
    ZealousWeb
