Errors

PRECISION_EXCEEDED

PRECISION_EXCEEDED

A monetary amount in the request carries more decimal places than its currency allows (for example, "10.999" for USD, which has a two–decimal-place minor unit). Amounts are rejected up front rather than silently truncated.

Summary

Field	Value
HTTP status	422
errorCategory	validation
retryable	false

When This Fires

• POST /v1/marketfront/orders/validate and POST /v1/marketfront/orders/place — a client-supplied amount in the amounts block (most commonly amounts.tip) has more decimal places than the store currency's minor-unit scale.

See Money & amounts for the per-currency scale table.

Recommended Action

Round the amount to the currency's minor-unit scale before sending — 2 places for most currencies (USD, EUR, GBP), 0 for zero-decimal currencies (JPY, KRW), 3 for BHD/KWD/OMR/TND — and resubmit. Send amounts as decimal strings ("3.00"), not numbers.
