⚠️ CRITICAL BLOCKER: Email Integration Required

Current Email State:

  • ✅ In-app notifications: Fully functional
  • ✅ Notification preferences UI: Complete (includes email toggle controls)
  • Email notifications: NOT IMPLEMENTED
  • ⚠️ Only Supabase Auth default emails operational (signup verification)

Issue: The UI promises email notifications in user preferences, but the backend delivery system doesn’t exist. This creates a trust issue if users expect emails that never arrive.

Required Email Notifications:

  1. Application Events:

    • New application received (to league)
    • Application accepted/rejected (to referee)
  2. Payment Events:

    • Payment received (to referee)
    • Payment released (to both parties)
    • Dispute created (to support@refy.io + involved parties)
  3. Job Events:

    • Job completed confirmation (to referee)
    • New job matches (to referees within search radius)
  4. Message Events:

    • New message received (to other party)

Recommended Solution: Resend API

  • Modern developer-friendly email API
  • React Email for template rendering
  • Excellent deliverability and competitive pricing
  • Easy Supabase Edge Function integration
  • Good documentation and TypeScript support

📊 Core Product

User Types

  1. Referees: Set hourly/game rates, search jobs by geolocation, apply/receive invites
  2. Leagues: Post jobs (sport, age, date, pay, location), review applications, hire referees

Key Features

  • User authentication (dual-role: Referees & Leagues)
  • Geolocation-based job discovery
  • Application & matching system
  • Payment infrastructure (Stripe Connect integration)
  • Rate limiting & security hardening
  • Audit logging for sensitive operations

Monetization

  • Phase 1 (Current): Free platform
  • Phase 2 (Post-Launch): ~10% transaction fee (paid by leagues)

🔐 Security Implementation Status

✅ COMPLETED (December 2025 - Production Ready)

  • RLS Policies: Row-level security for tax_information, escrow_payments, stripe_connected_accounts
  • Input Validation: Zod schemas across all Edge Functions
  • Rate Limiting: 10 requests/60 sec per user on critical endpoints
  • Audit Logging: Automatic logging of sensitive table changes (tax_information, stripe_connected_accounts)
  • PII Protection: All logs sanitized (no emails, phone numbers, full payment IDs)
  • Authorization Checks: Strict ownership validation in payment Edge Functions
  • Race Condition Handling: Unique constraint protection in create-stripe-connect-account
  • Code Quality: All SonarQube HIGH/CRITICAL/MAJOR issues resolved
  • Type Safety: Zero TypeScript errors
  • Security Vulnerabilities: None detected (Security Rating: A)

Edge Functions & Payment Flow

  1. create-escrow-payment - Validates amount, creates PaymentIntent with Stripe
  2. confirm-job-completion - League confirms job completion, updates payment status
  3. release-escrow-payment - Transfers funds to referee’s connected account
  4. auto-release-escrow-payments - Cron job (30-day auto-release)
  5. create-stripe-connect-account - Race condition protected Stripe Express onboarding
  6. handle-stripe-webhook - Signature verification, event handling

🧪 Production Deployment Checklist

❌ BLOCKERS (Must Complete Before Launch)

  1. IMPLEMENT: Email Integration via Resend

    • Create Resend account and obtain API key
    • Add RESEND_API_KEY to Supabase secrets
    • Create email templates using React Email
    • Create Edge Function: send-notification-email
    • Integrate with existing notification system in database
    • Test all email scenarios (application, payment, dispute, messaging)
    • Verify email preferences respect user opt-out settings
  2. CONFIGURE: Stripe Environment Variables

    • VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY (production key)
    • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (production key)
    • STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET (production endpoint)
  3. TEST: Full Integration Testing

    • End-to-end payment flow with email notifications
    • Application workflow with email alerts to both parties
    • Dispute creation triggers support@refy.io email
    • Message notifications respect user preferences
  4. REVIEW: Security Hotspots

    • Complete review of 2 remaining SonarCloud hotspots
    • Document risk acceptance or remediation
