# Subscribe / Stripe configuration is off-limits

**Do not use .env.** All config is in `stack.yml`; do not add or rely on `.env` for deploy.

**Do not under any circumstance:**

- Remove, comment out, reorder, or rename the `STRIPE_*` or subscribe-related environment variables in `stack.yml` (the `ss-atlas` service `environment:` block).
- Stash, replace, or overwrite `stack.yml` in a way that drops or changes the Stripe/subscribe env vars.
- Add logic that loads config from `.env` or clears these values at deploy or runtime.

**Required subscribe-related vars in `stack.yml` for `ss-atlas`:**  
`STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`, `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`, `STRIPE_PRICE_ID`, `STRIPE_PRICE_ID_FREE`, `STRIPE_PRICE_ID_YEAR`, `STRIPE_PRICE_ID_MONTH_100`, `STRIPE_PRICE_ID_MONTH_200`, `STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK`, `FREE_TIER_LIMIT`, `YEAR_TIER_LIMIT`, `MAX_SIGNUPS`.

**If editing `stack.yml` or deploy flow:** preserve the full `ss-atlas` environment section exactly; only add new vars or change values when the user explicitly asks.
