Amazon Pay will send notifications to the buyer in the following situations:

- There was a checkout attempt and the buyer was redirected to `AmazonPayRedirectUrl`. ( Note: This order confirmation e-mail will not be sent if the capture is also processed within 5 hours)
- Any time that funds are captured
- Any time that a refund is initiated
- Any time that a refund is complete

Amazon Pay supplies most of the content for the notification but there are certain fields you can customize using either account configuration or API request parameters.

Note: some of the values will also be reflected in the settlement and transaction reports. See <a href="../amazon-pay-reports/set-up-reports.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">setting up reports</a> for more information.
