I can't find any further explanation in your documentation of the
checkout types: GOODS, SERVICE, DONATION, and PERSONAL.
Except for PERSONAL they are fairly self-explanitory but it'd still be
nice to have a little more info on these in your documentation as to
the meaning an purpose of these. And why it is a required field.

Also, what if my app is creating a checkout that encompasses multiple
types (i.e. - an invoice with goods and services in the line items)?

Hi John,

Primary use of this field is on the user side. It is submitted
with the payment and the user can have categorized view of the
charges on his/her credit card.

For the checkout with a mix of goods and services, please use
your best judgment. For example, if you charge $100 for goods
and $10 for services, then type should probably be "GOODS".
Otherwise, if $10 is charged for goods and $100 for services,
then type should be "SERVICE".

Hope this helps!

Aleksey
