This PR adds a troubleshooting section to the README to help users resolve common setup issues.

Changes

  • Added "Troubleshooting" section after API Reference
  • Covers 3 common issues based on repository feedback

Motivation

Issue #7 shows users struggle with syncing existing products when connecting to an established Polar account. The webhook-based sync only catches new products, which isn't obvious from the current docs.

Testing

  • Verified markdown renders correctly
  • Checked all code examples for accuracy
  • Confirmed solutions match actual component behavior

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added comprehensive Troubleshooting section providing guidance on syncing existing products, handling webhooks, and resolving TypeScript errors
    • Included practical examples and detailed instructions for executing product synchronization operations
    • Added guidance on webhook URL verification, deployment configuration, and event handler registration
    • Provided step-by-step instructions for testing webhook delivery functionality

Adds a new troubleshooting section covering common setup issues:

- Syncing products from existing Polar accounts (addresses get-convex#7)

- Webhook configuration and delivery issues

- TypeScript type generation after component installation

This should help users resolve common problems without opening issues.

576-595: Good troubleshooting guidance that addresses Issue #7.

The explanation and solution are accurate and directly address the webhook sync limitation for existing products. The code example correctly demonstrates using polar.syncProducts(ctx).

One minor clarity suggestion: The example shows creating the action in convex/polar.ts, but users following earlier sections have their polar instance in convex/example.ts. Consider mentioning that this action can be added to any Convex file (including example.ts), and the run command should match the chosen file:

npx convex run <filename>:syncExistingProducts

This would help users avoid confusion if they add the action to their existing example.ts file.
