Key Takeaways
- Scenario 613 is subscription-pause confirmation webhooks — not size-exchange ready, fraud-review holds, preorder slips, loyalty-points expiry, gift-wrap ready, digital downloads, pre-auth holds, custom-proof approval, line-item cancels, warranty, store credit, price-match, try-on kits, subscription skips, BOPIS, waitlist restocks, preorder drops, gift-card sales, COD, split-ship, refunds, or renewals.
- “Pause PA-6 confirmed — next box 12 Nov” is transactional. “Unpause and shop” is marketing. Split SIMs.
- Cap SMS per pause id. Billing-engine retries of pause.confirmed will empty prepaid.
- Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free is 1 / 300 / 300. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
- Verify HMAC. A forged pause.confirmed event nags people whose box already left.
- REST fields live in Developer Center — not a CodeCanyon subscription plugin. MCP, if you use it, is only a REST wrapper.
Summary
Scenario 613 is ecommerce webhooks for subscription pause confirm. Billing owns the cycle. Your worker texts confirmed / resumed — not the whole “unpause and shop” segment. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.
If you key SMS on SKU instead of pause+date, the second engine ping will re-open a 12 Nov clock that already shipped.
