Adds settlement type to Application Fee objects

What’s new

Adds the settlement_type property to Application Fee objects. This property indicates whether fees are settled on a net or gross basis.

The settlement_type property can have the following values:

• net _ settled : The fee is settled at charge time
• gross _ settled : The fee is settled at the end of a billing cycle

Previously, there was no way to programmatically determine how fees were settled, making it difficult to reconcile payments and understand the exact settlement amounts.

Impact

You can now use the settlement_type property to:

• Distinguish between different settlement types
• Build more precise financial reporting for your platform

If you currently rely on external calculations to determine settlement amounts, you can now use this property to get the settlement type directly from the API response.
