My Samsung s9 ultra recently sent me a lot of annoying notification about its products, discount etc. When I am trying to turn the notifications off, there is no way to do that. Does anyone has a solution? My oneplus 12 never had a similar issue, so it is Samsung problem, not android?

Oh, I always navigate through the apps listing, not the notifications listing.  It's actually weird, because even though the store is baked into the system and cannot be uninstalled, it's still not considered a system app.  Perhaps they do it that way because they don't *want* you to turn off the notifications.  If you notice, notifications for the app are mandatory, but you can turn off every category, except the mandatory one - which is why you can't turn them off if you don't have categories enabled.

You have to enable notification categories first. Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings > Manage notification categories for each app > ON

Then, Settings > Notifications > App Notifications > 3 dots, top right > Show system apps > Galaxy Store > Notification Categories > Turn off the desired notifications

Except the Galaxy Store is not a system app, so it can be found without enabling show system apps (although, it won't hurt anything if they show).

For me, it shows without enabling "show system apps" IF I navigate through Settings > Apps, but if I navigate through Settings > Notifications > App Notifications, Galaxy Store does not show up in the list unless I enable "show system apps."

Tried it earlier, and just tried it again to verify. I thought it was odd, but included that step just in case OP could not locate galaxy store through the path I provided.
