# Payments Event Notifications

To ensure smooth operation, get notified of Payments platform events as a transaction goes through its lifecycle. Events can include payment authorizations, captures, and refunds.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.payments_editions.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">View supported editions</a>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Salesforce Payments uses a high-scale asynchronous architecture, so events focus on client-side activity at the end user’s browser. Examples of asynchronous events are payment authorizations, captures, and refunds.

To get notified of these platform events, incorporate them into flows or Apex triggers. Use any notification mechanism that flows or triggers support, such as Slack, SMS, or email, or a Lightning notification app.

Payments platform events are generated automatically and represented by these objects:

- [PaymentIntentEvent](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_paymentintentevent.htm)
- [MerchantAccountEvent](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_merchantaccountevent.htm)
- [PaymentLinkEvent](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_paymentlinkevent.htm)
- [SavedPaymentMethodEvent](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_savedpaymentmethodevent.htm)
