Resend email setup
Emails should recover access, confirm payment, and bring users back without looking like spam or an alarming ritual.
Email is not decoration. It is a rescue bridge if the client closes the tab after payment.
Check receipt
After payment, the user should receive a clear email: what was bought, how to open it, what to do if there is a problem.
- No internal IDs unless necessary.
- There is account or recovery link.
- Support is included.
Check recovery
A lost link should not become a disaster. Email recovery should lead to account and archive.
- Recovery form sends email.
- Magic link opens callback.
- Account shows archive.
checklist
What to check
