Dynamic and Fixed-Price Services
For a fixed priced service, the price and currency that appears in eSuite will be the same that has been established in the service. If the service has multiple currencies, then a currency can be passed in the request call.
For a dynamically priced service, the price and currency that appears in eSuite will default to the client preferred currency with a price of 0. It is recommended that you populate the currency and price from the product that has been created.
