# Dashboard notifications

> Track payment lifecycle changes in the Business dashboard and by customer email.

The Business dashboard notification center reports payment review, processing, completion, and failure changes for the currently selected environment.

## Notification behavior

* Notifications are tenant- and environment-scoped.
* The unread counter represents all unread notifications, not only the currently loaded page.
* Older notifications load in pages of 20.
* **Mark all read** affects only the selected environment.
* Selecting a notification opens the related Payment Links workspace.
* A review-expiry reminder is created once per review.

## Customer emails

When a checkout contains a valid customer email address, NorthFond queues email for approval, rejection, completion, and terminal failure. Delivery happens outside the payment transaction and retries with backoff. An email-provider outage cannot roll back or duplicate a payment.

Customer email is a convenience notification. Your application should use signed webhooks and API/dashboard state as the system of record.

## Delivery states

Email and webhook deliveries are tracked as `pending`, `retrying`, `delivered`, or `failed`. NorthFond operators can see terminal failures and reviews approaching expiry in **Payment reviews**.
