## Configuring Environment Variables

To make your deployment production-worthy, you'll need to configure several environment variables, especially for Mail and Stripe integration. Here are the groups of environment variables you'll need:

## Frontend Variables

| Variable Name | Description | Example |
| ------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `VITE_FRONTEND_URL` | Frontend URL | `https://your-app.com` |
| `VITE_API_URL_CLIENT` | API URL for use in the browser | `https://your-app.com/api` |
| `VITE_API_URL_SERVER` | API URL for use on server | This is used for server-side rendering. Usually `http://localhost:8000/api` |
| `VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` | Stripe public key | `pk_test_51...` |

## Backend Variables

### Mail Configuration

You can use email providers like [Postmark](https://postmarkapp.com/), [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/), or [AWS SES](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/).

| Variable Name | Description | Example |
| ------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `MAIL_MAILER` | Mail driver | `smtp` |
| `MAIL_HOST` | Mail server host | `smtp.mailtrap.io` |
| `MAIL_PORT` | Mail server port | `2525` |
| `MAIL_USERNAME` | Mail server username | `your-username` |

For more details on configuring mail settings in Laravel, refer to the [Laravel Mail Documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/mail).

### Stripe Configuration

For more information on obtaining Stripe API keys, visit the [Stripe API Keys Documentation](https://stripe.com/docs/keys).

| Variable Name | Description | Example |
| ------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY` | Stripe public key | `pk_test_51...` |
| `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` | Stripe secret key | `sk_test_51...` |
| `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | Stripe webhook secret | `whsec_...` |

### General Configuration

| Variable Name | Description | Example |
| ------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `APP_KEY` | Application key | `base64:...` |
| `APP_SAAS_MODE_ENABLED` | Enable SaaS mode. | `true` |
| `APP_SAAS_STRIPE_APPLICATION_FEE_PERCENT` | Stripe application fee percentage. Only relevant in SAAS mode | `1.5` |

The `APP_KEY` can be generated using the following command:

```bash
echo "base64:$(openssl rand -base64 32)"
```

### AWS Configuration

These variables are required if you'd like to use AWS S3 for file storage. You can also use other s3-compatible services like [DigitalOcean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/).

To avoid losing files during updates or server failures, we highly recommend using cloud file storage for production deployments.
