# Notifications Add and read information for alternative distribution package notifications. ## Discussion Alternative marketplaces can use the marketplace webhooks API [`Add a Marketplace Webhook Configuration`](/documentation/AppStoreConnectAPI/POST-v1-marketplaceWebhooks) endpoint to set up an `endpointURL,` where the marketplace receives notifications about changes to apps that it distributes. The most typical notifications are: - A new app version is available. - A specific app version needs to be removed. - All versions of an app need to be removed. To learn more about configuring a webhook URL using the API, see [`Add a Marketplace Webhook Configuration`](/documentation/AppStoreConnectAPI/POST-v1-marketplaceWebhooks). To learn more about server-side processing of marketplace webhook notifications, see . > Note: > To receive notifications for an app, the developer of an app distributed on an alternative marketplace must enable it in App Store Connect, to learn more see [Manage distribution on an alternative app marketplace](https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/distributing-apps-in-the-european-union/manage-distribution-on-an-alternative-app-marketplace).
