Monoidal natural transformation

Suppose that $(\mathcal C,\otimes,I)$ and $(\mathcal D,\bullet, J)$ are two monoidal categories and

(F,m):(\mathcal C,\otimes,I)\to(\mathcal D,\bullet, J)

and

(G,n):(\mathcal C,\otimes,I)\to(\mathcal D,\bullet, J)

are two lax monoidal functors between those categories.

A monoidal natural transformation

\theta:(F,m) \to (G,n)

between those functors is a natural transformation $\theta:F \to G$ between the underlying functors such that the diagrams

and

commute for every objects $A$ and $B$ of ${\mathcal {C}}$ (see Definition 11 in ^[1]).

A symmetric monoidal natural transformation is a monoidal natural transformation between symmetric monoidal functors.
