See the exchange rate and Paddle fee rate for payouts

Transactions now include the exchange rate and Paddle fee rate for payout totals.

How it works

details.payout_totals and details.adjusted_payout_totals give you a breakdown of the payout total for a completed transaction.

To help you better understand how a payout total is calculated, we've added an exchange_rate field to the payout_totals and adjusted_payout_totals objects. This field shows the exchange rate applied to the payout total, including margin if applicable.

We also added a fee_rate field to the payout_totals object. This field shows the Paddle fee rate that was applied.

You can learn more about Paddle fees on the help center.
