Areas Not Fully Functional / Known Limitations

Security

  • Password Hashing - Currently uses base64 encoding instead of secure bcrypt hashing. This is a placeholder for development and should not be used in production.

Payment & Billing

  • Saved Payment Methods - The UI for managing payment methods exists, but full auto-renewal functionality may need testing

  • Recurring Donations - Schema supports recurring donations but the automated processing isn't fully implemented

Email System

  • Requires API Key - Email sending only works if RESEND_API_KEY environment variable is configured. Without it, emails are logged but not sent.

  • Email Attachments - UI exists but attachment handling may need verification

Financial Management

  • Uses Static Data - The Financial Management admin page displays hardcoded sample data rather than real database data. Charts and transactions shown are for demonstration purposes.

Reporting

  • Admin Reporting - The reporting page may show placeholder or sample data rather than real-time analytics from the database

Object Storage

  • Limited Access Control Types - The object storage access control system only supports specific implemented types; other types will throw errors

Auto-Renewal

  • Scheduled Processing - The cron job endpoint for processing renewals exists but may not be actively running
