Subscribe Billing Events occur when an AutoBill generated event passes through your payment processor. A Billing Event might be a recurring or one-time transaction, a manually accepted and entered payment, a credit check (for credit cards), a bank withdrawal (EDD), or a customer refund. One-Time Transactions may be generated for a single item purchase, or for the first in a series of recurring billings. Note that some payment methods, supported by Subscribe, do not allow recurring transactions, and allow only one-time transactions. While AutoBill payments are also processed as Subscribe Transactions, this chapter deals specifically with the Transaction object, with an emphasis on one-time purchases. For more information on recurring billing, see Working with AutoBills. Note: Use of the forward slash character (/) in merchant identifiers is not allowed. See Merchant Identifiers for more information. Subscribe allows you to issue email notifications when these events occur. For more information, see Customer Notifications.
