What's new?
We added two new objects to transaction.details to make it easier to work with adjustments.
details object
Calculated totals for a transaction, including proration, discounts, tax, and currency conversion. Considered the source of truth for totals on a transaction.
adjusted_totals object or null
Transaction totals adjusted to reflect any refunds or chargebacks. null if no adjustments against this transaction.
adjusted_payout_totals object or null
Payout totals adjusted to reflect any refunds or chargebacks. null if no adjustments against this transaction.
These objects complement the existing transaction.details.totals and transaction.details.payout_totals objects. They show how the transaction totals and payout totals are impacted by any adjustments.
How it works
Paddle returns details.totals and details.payout_totals for transactions. However, these objects aren't impacted by adjustments.
This made it difficult to see how much a transaction is for and what you earned. You'd need to use the include parameter to return adjustments, then sum transaction.adjustments[].totals.total, then deduct this from the transaction totals.
The new objects return adjusted totals without the need to include adjustments or do any of your own calculations.
