A confirmation message sent to a customer after a transaction is completed, acknowledging receipt of funds. These messages often detail the amount paid, the date of payment, and may include a reference or transaction ID. For example, after a customer subscribes to a service online and successfully completes the payment, they will typically receive this type of message.
Such communications serve a crucial role in maintaining transparency and building trust with customers. They offer reassurance that the payment was successfully processed, reduce customer anxiety regarding billing issues, and provide a documented record for both the customer and the business. Historically, these acknowledgements were delivered primarily through postal mail; however, electronic delivery has become the standard due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
