Can I verify if a payment was successful?

Yes! Use the `verify_transaction` tool with the transaction reference. It will return the current status (e.g., success, failed, abandoned) and the amount paid.

How do I find a customer by their email?

You can use the `get_customer` tool and provide the customer's email address as the identifier. It will fetch their profile, customer code, and associated metadata.

Does this support checking recurring subscriptions?

Absolutely. Use the `list_subscriptions` and `get_subscription` tools to manage and monitor recurring billing for your customers.
