The following definitions will help with the OpenAPI reference section to understand what some of the objects and options mean. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a list of requested clarifications.

In the ShopListing endpoints there is a field called state with these potential values:

A money object represents a price for a listing in a specific currency. The money object contains the following fields:

Field NameMeaning
