Open ./ReaderSDKSample/Screens/PayViewController.swift in the sample application.
In the PayViewController class, change the value of the amount property from $1 USD to $2 USD. As with other Square solutionsAs with other Square solutions, the Reader SDK specifies monetary amounts in the smallest currency unit of the associated currency code, so $2 USD is specified as 200 cents.
Copy
```
private let amount = 200
```
Rebuild the sample application.
Choose the Charge $2.00 button to complete a new cash transaction.
