# Delayed payment event types When managing digital transactions, monitoring and addressing payment processing variations is essential. The Digital River platform defines specific events to capture and act on delayed payment scenarios within this framework. Among these, two critical events, `delayed_payment.expired` and `delayed_payment.reminder`, play vital roles in ensuring timely and efficient transaction completion. They enable businesses to keep track of overdue payments or at risk of not being completed within the designated period. Here, we delve into the specifics of these events, including their triggers, implications, and the actions they necessitate. Delayed payment events in Digital River are notifications regarding the status of a payment that has not been completed on time. * [**Delayed payment expired event**](/commerce-api/events/event-types/delayed-payment-event-types/delayed-payment-expired-event.md): Occurs when a payment has surpassed its final due date without being processed. * [D**elayed payment reminder event**](/commerce-api/events/event-types/delayed-payment-event-types/delayed-payment-reminder-event.md): This event is proactive and dispatched before the payment's final due date. This event aims to remind the business and the customer of an upcoming payment yet settled. #### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
