Subscription Events

Introduction

Whenever an update occurs in a subscription, you will receive a notification. Subscription events are related to charge attempts, status changes, or changes in the subscription payment method.

Subscription Events

Charge attempt

When a subscription begins its billing period, we will attempt to bill your customer. If the charge is successful, you will receive a notification event "Subscription charged successfully". Otherwise, the notification event will be "Subscription charged unsuccessfully". In this notification, we only send order and subscription data related to the current billing.

Subscription charged successfully
