The "currency" element is the element which defines the settlement currency. By default, Atlas will use the customer's default contract currency as the settlement currency for quoting.
In the "Search" and the subsequent responses, the pricing as per the settlement currency will be provided in the "currency" element and the subsequent "price" element.
Transaction Fee Conversion
The transaction fee will be converted to the "settlement currency" as per the timestamp of the verify response as the verify response is the stage when the ticket price is quoted.
