Hi
Good question.
Providing screenshots with the data you are referencing is helpful for us to have context.
Might be best to do a sample transaction where you know the value you want to filter on, then find that matching value in the data returned from the PayPal Zap trigger.

thanks, thats a good suggestion. I wish zapier had a definition of their filter terminology means. MC = what does mc mean? a Mastercharge payment? Does Gross payment mean the payment BEFORE paypal transaction fee? I don’t know why they don’t explain this better...

FYI: Most apps on Zapier are built and maintained by the app developers themselves, rather than by Zapier.
Ideally, the apps used in Zaps should have those variables defined somewhere, possibly in their API documentation.
