API: KeyCharge parameter

When a line is pushed to the customer’s balance via API, the KeyCharge parameter is used to define the charge type associated with that line.
If this parameter is not provided, the value defined at the segment level is used by default.

KeyCharge corresponds either to the code of one of the 4 charge families (for a generic addition), or to the code of a specific charge type when you want more precise taxation.
Here are a few examples of possible values:

KeyCharge Description
Digital Any digital service or product
Physical Any physical good, with no specific classification
Service Any service delivery
Digital_media Online press publications, newsletters.
Service_insurance Insurance agreement fees
SpecialFee_latePayment Late payment fee

For the complete list of families and specific charge types available, see the article Charge families and specific charge types.
