contents The cusp structure at the $π^+π^-$ threshold in the $π^0π^0$ invariant mass spectrum serves as a sensitive probe for extracting the $S$-wave $ππ$ scattering lengths in processes where an $S$-wave $π^0π^0$ pair is produced in the final states. Within the framework of nonrelativistic effective field theory with coupled channels $π^0π^0$ and $π^+π^-$, we revisit the near-threshold structures in the $π^0π^0$ spectrum of $ψ^\prime \to J/ψππ$. Our analysis incorporates the $ππ$ final-state rescattering, including both strong and Coulomb interactions. It turns out that the cusp near the $π^+π^-$ threshold becomes more prominent when Coulomb interactions are included. The electromagnetic correctionsare found to alter the magnitude of the threshold cusp by about 2%-3%, underscoring the necessity of including these effects in precision determinations of the $ππ$ scattering lengths. The coupled-channel amplitude constructed in this work provides a ready-to-use theoretical framework for experimental analyses of fine structures near $ππ$ thresholds.
