Subscription Events: Completed Line Items

When Pax8 emits subscription events, each event corresponds to a Completed Line Item—the atomic transaction that drives billing and provisioning. These events allow partners to automate workflows such as onboarding, billing updates, renewals, and cancellations.

Completed Line Items represent every transaction from subscriptions, arrears billing, and one-time charges. Each event includes a type field that identifies the nature of the change.
