I’m building a UX layer on top of Stripe invoices. Does anyone else feel they’re kind of underwhelming?

I’ve been working on a small SaaS that sits on top of Stripe Invoices, and it started from a pretty simple frustration:

Stripe invoices work, but they don’t feel like they’re designed to actually get you paid.

They’re:

• pretty bare visually
• not very flexible from a branding/UX perspective
• and (in my experience) not optimized for conversion at all

The idea came about when a client of mine insisted he didn't want to send the Stripe invoices to customers, they believe strongly in a branded experience from start to finish.

For my client, I built a custom invoice experience, pulling in Stripe invoicing data with:

• an easier to read layout
• better hierarchy for pricing + line items
• more obvious payment CTAs
• attempting to make the whole thing feel a bit more like a polished checkout experience

Curious if others here have run into the same thing?

Have you customized Stripe invoices heavily?
Switched to something else?
Or just accepted them as-is?

Happy to share what I’ve been building if anyone’s interested but mostly just trying to sanity check whether this is a real problem or just me.
