I sent a reminder email and one more follow-up to customers who had at least 2 failed payments. For someone who read but didn't respond, I'll show this modal in their account.

SaaS founders, how are you chasing failed payments? 😅

Good news: Customer is adding more team members to their account.

Bad news: I have to code the logic to handle it.

I was hoping Stripe would have caught up to my "basic" use cases with their checkout product.

My SaaS is about to cross $300 MRR, and I still don't have:

- password reset
- a billing portal
- change email
- a knowledge base
- dark mode

Best to worry about these once people actually need them 😅

 

These comments come from a good place—it's evidence of focusing on only the most critical aspects of bringing your SaaS product to life. But just as often it's the developer realizing that there's yet another common workflow that they'll need to write custom code to support.

How much time is it going to take you to build this stuff collectively?
