Bulk Resend Operations

Scenario: "Never received confirmation" (multiple customers)

If webhook failure caused multiple customers to miss receipts:

# Get all orders from specific date range
curl "https://api.lemonsqueezy.com/v1/orders?filter[store_id]=YOUR_STORE_ID&page[size]=100" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" | \
  # Filter by date, resend to all
  ...

Use case:

• Webhook downtime (Jan 1-5, 2026)
• Email provider issue
• System migration

Process:

1. Identify affected orders (date range, status "paid", receipt not sent)
2. Get approval from user before bulk operation
3. Resend in batches (10-20 at a time to avoid rate limits)
4. Log successes/failures
5. Follow up with any failures

Testing

Test receipt resend (TEST mode):

1. Create test order: 4242 4242 4242 4242
2. Wait for order to show "paid"
3. Use skill to resend receipt
4. Check test email inbox
5. Verify download links work
6. Confirm receipt PDF correct

• % of customers who receive email successfully (target: >98%)
• % of customers who need follow-up (target: <5%)
• % resolved with resend vs. manual delivery (target: >90% resend)

Email Deliverability Tips

Improve delivery rates:

1. Use custom sending domain (not noreply@lemonsqueezy.com)
2. Set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC records
3. Monitor bounce rates
4. Remove invalid emails from list
5. Ask customers to whitelist sender

Red flags (likely spam):

• Free email providers (Gmail, Hotmail) with aggressive filters
• Corporate email with strict IT policies
• Temporary/disposable email addresses
• Typos in email address

Automation Opportunities

Auto-resend triggers (future):

• Customer visits

  /account

  with order number → No previous email → Auto-resend
• Customer clicks "Resend Receipt" button → Self-service resend
• Failed webhook → Auto-resend after 1 hour
• Customer opens support ticket → Auto-suggest resend before human intervention

Self-Service Portal:

https://thiswasntinthebrochure.wtf/resend-receipt
- Enter order number
- Verify email
- Click "Resend"

Security Considerations

Verify customer identity:

• Order number proves they received original email
• Email match confirms they're the buyer
• Don't resend to different email without verification

Prevent abuse:

• Rate limit: Max 3 resends per order per day
• Log all resend requests
• Flag suspicious patterns (multiple resends to different emails)

Privacy:

• Never reveal full email in logs (mask: cus****@example.com)
• Don't include payment details in resent email
• Use secure HTTPS links only
