Sendle has introduced a new service charge to the price_breakdown returned by the API's GET /quote, GET /products, POST /orders, and GET /orders/:id endpoints response.

Example:

"price_breakdown":
{
    "base":
    {
        "amount": 15,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "discount":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "cover":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "fuel_surcharge":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "base_tax":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "discount_tax":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "cover_tax":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "fuel_surcharge_tax":
    {
        "amount": 0,
        "currency": "USD"
    },
    "service":
    {
        "amount": 0.2,
        "currency": "USD"
    }
}

If your integration to the Sendle API calculates total cost from the price_breakdown, please include the service amount in the calculation.
