While it performs well in core functionalities, users may find the documentation lacking in depth, which can hinder onboarding and troubleshooting. Additionally, community support appears limited compared to more established frameworks, which could pose challenges for new users. Overall, it is a solid choice for those familiar with Stripe but may not be the best fit for teams seeking extensive guidance or community resources.",
