Introduction

Notifications are used to automatically send system-generated messages to merchants and customers. These notifications provide updates about subscription events, billing actions, and product availability.

They support operational visibility and ensure timely communication for subscription-related activities.

Why It Matters

Notifications help merchants monitor subscription activity without manual tracking.

They also keep customers informed about changes to their subscriptions, billing attempts, and product status, reducing confusion and support requests.
