The TEST notification is a verification event sent to confirm that your server endpoint is reachable and responding correctly to App Store Server Notifications. It does not represent a real transaction or customer action.
When does it fire?
This notification is triggered manually when you request a test notification through the App Store Server API or when configuring your notification URL in App Store Connect. It's used during setup and debugging.
Payload highlights
The test notification follows the same JWS-signed format as real notifications but does not contain meaningful transaction data. It's designed to verify that your endpoint can receive, verify, and process the notification format.
