Collection History
It took weeks to integrate billing with Clerk's auth... writing code to sync webhooks is difficult... There's a bunch of downsides to doing this yourself. Mostly it's just pure frustration and pain, right?
Neither Resend nor Loops offers native Stripe integration for payment-triggered emails. This is a surprising gap for SaaS-focused tools... you need to build custom webhook handlers for Stripe events and then trigger emails through either Resend's API or Loops' event system.
No Native Stripe Integration. Stripe payments require manual webhook setup. No pre-built connector exists for this common use case.
