Was going through Stripe last week and noticed a bunch of failed payments I never knew about. Shopify sent one generic email and that was it. Manually messaged a few customers on Instagram and recovered about half. Is there literally no way to automate this or is everyone just eating these losses?

what exactly do you mean? payment failed so you didn't get the sales?

You can use Shopify flow to notify you for every failed payment. With multiple emails and a custom subject it can make it much easier to see then the one email from Shopify.
