Checkout works and the tax note does not
European customers are asking for a VAT line I do not show cleanly. The payment succeeds. The PDF is what they forward to finance, and finance is the one who stalls the renewal.

Did the conversation in "European customers are asking for a VAT line I do not show cleanly" happen before the build, or only after it launched?
A one-line tax note in the receipt unblocked a renewal for me. It did not require a new tax engine. It required the number they already paid.
We generate the PDF from the same totals we charge, not from a second template that drifts. The drift was the entire bug.

The first integration was fast. Invoices, taxes, and a customer who needs a PO are now the work. I am trying to tell a real limit from ordinary boredom with the dashboard.

- A missed webhook marked a paid team as past due
I replayed a Stripe event during a deploy and the handler was not idempotent. A healthy subscription got a past-due email. The fix is in. I am still embarrassed about the note we sent.

- The failed-payment email sounds like a scolding
It is accurate and it reads like we are disappointed in them. A card failed. I want the mail to sound like a person who can fix it, not a ledger.

- Does your invoice say tax or VAT in the line item?
A customer in one country corrected the wording and then paid. I do not want a unique template per argument. I also do not want finance to bounce a PDF over a noun.
