<p>I want to Send bitcoin from my wallet to another bitcoin address.
I have been working on their API.</p>

<p>This is what i tried to do. </p>

<p>But here the amount is bit confusing to me. My product price is  <code>0.03000000 BTC</code>.
So what will be the value of <code>$amount</code> ?</p>

<p>Official documentation says: <code>$amount Amount to send in satoshi.</code> </p>

<p>And what will be the value of <code>$fee</code> ?</p>

I want to Send bitcoin from my wallet to another bitcoin address.
I have been working on their API.

> <http://localhost:3000/merchant/>$guid/payment?password=$main\_password&second\_password=$second\_password&to=$address&amount=$amount&from=$from&fee=$fee

This is what i tried to do.

But here the amount is bit confusing to me. My product price is `0.03000000 BTC`.
So what will be the value of `$amount` ?

Official documentation says: `$amount Amount to send in satoshi.`

And what will be the value of `$fee` ?

A Satoshi is the smallest fraction of a Bitcoin that can currently be sent: 0.00000001 BTC, that is, a hundredth of a millionth BTC. In the future, however, the protocol may be updated to allow further subdivisions, should they be needed.

Further examples of units

```
1 BTC = 1,000 mBTC (millibitcoin)
1 BTC = 1,000,000 μBTC (microbitcoin)
1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshis
1 mBTC = 100,000 Satoshis
1 μBTC (microbitcoin) = 100 Satoshis

```

So `$amount` will be `100000000*0.03 = 3000000`

and `$fee` will be Transaction fee value in satoshi (Must be greater than default fee) (Optional)
