Path Overview
What are payment banners?
Payment banners are in-session notifications that appear inside your product when a subscriber's payment is at risk or they've started a cancellation. They reach subscribers at the moment they're most likely to act: while they're already using what they're paying for. Recurly supports both a custom webhook-based implementation and a no-code option via Recurly Engage, both covered in this path.
