Overview
The DVM™ sends notifications to your system whenever a Consumer Offer or Entitlement changes state. These notifications allow you to react in real time to subscription lifecycle events — provisioning outcomes, cancellations, activations, and product changes — and take the appropriate action for your consumers. There are two categories of notification covered on this page:Consumer Offer Notifications
Triggered when the overall status of a Consumer Offer changes — for example when all entitlements are created, or when a cancellation completes.
Entitlement Notifications
Triggered when an individual Entitlement changes state — for example when a consumer activates their product, or when their access is terminated.
Billing-related notifications — including renewal charges, pro-rated charges, and refund outcomes — are covered separately on the Billing & Charging Notifications page.
Consumer Offer notifications
A Consumer Offer is the top-level object that represents a consumer’s subscription. The DVM™ sends a notification whenever the overall status of the Offer changes — whether provisioning succeeds, partially fails, or cancellation is scheduled or completed.Notification types
Offer Created
All entitlements in the Offer were successfully created. The consumer now has access to all purchased services.
notificationReason: CONSUMER_OFFER_CREATEDOffer Partially Created
At least one entitlement was created and at least one failed. The Reseller must review and decide whether to retry, notify the consumer, or cancel.
notificationReason: CONSUMER_OFFER_PARTIALLY_CREATEDCancel Pending
Cancellation has been scheduled. The Offer remains active but is marked with sub-status
PENDING_CANCELS. notificationReason: CONSUMER_OFFER_CANCEL_PENDINGOffer canceled
All entitlements have been successfully terminated. The consumer no longer has access to any purchased services.
notificationReason: CONSUMER_OFFER_CANCELLEDOffer Partially Cancelled
At least one entitlement was terminated and at least one was not. The Reseller must review which products are fully terminated and apply the appropriate access rules.

Entitlement notifications
An Entitlement represents an individual consumer’s access to a specific product tier provisioned as part of a Consumer Offer. The DVM™ sends a notification whenever an Entitlement changes state — from activation through to termination and product changes.Notification types
Activation Success
The consumer’s entitlement has been activated and they now have active access to the product.
notificationReason: ACTIVATION_SUCCESSTermination Pending
The entitlement is pending termination at a future date. Access continues until the termination date is reached.
notificationReason: TERMINATION_PENDINGTermination Success
The entitlement has ended. The consumer’s access to the product has been removed.
notificationReason: TERMINATION_SUCCESSProduct Update
The product the consumer has access to has changed — for example following an upgrade, downgrade, or catalog change. The
productKey is updated to the new value. notificationReason: PRODUCT_UPDATEMetadata Update
Metadata on the entitlement has been successfully updated.
notificationReason: METADATA_UPDATEEntitlement notification payload structure
All entitlement notifications follow the same structure. Fields may vary slightly depending on the event.Examples
Activation Success
Activation Success
Sent when the consumer’s entitlement has been successfully activated. The entitlement
status is Active. Use this notification to confirm to the consumer that their product is ready to use.Termination Pending
Termination Pending
Sent when the consumer’s entitlement is scheduled for termination at a future date. The entitlement
status is Active-Ending — the consumer still has access until the termination date. A TERMINATION_SUCCESS notification will follow when termination completes.Termination Success
Termination Success
Sent when the consumer’s entitlement has been successfully terminated. The entitlement
status is Cancelled or Revoked. The consumer no longer has access to the product.Product Update
Product Update
Sent when the product associated with the entitlement has changed — for example following an upgrade or downgrade. The
productKey is updated to reflect the consumer’s new product tier. Use this notification to update your records and surface the change to the consumer.Metadata Update
Metadata Update
Sent when metadata on the entitlement has been successfully updated. This notification signals that non-product, non-status attributes on the entitlement have changed — for example custom data, source information, or extension fields. Use this notification to keep your records in sync with the latest entitlement metadata.
