Stripe Payment Link for $0 Signups

For a free trial or limited beta, use a Stripe Payment Link instead of a checkout session.

Create the Payment Link

1. Stripe Dashboard → Products → Add product

   • Name: e.g. "Atlas Instance (Free)"
   • Price: $0 one-time (or $0/month subscription)
   • Save

2. Payment Links → Create payment link

   • Select the $0 product/price
   • After payment: "Customer goes to a page on your website"
   • URL: https://bc.a250.ca/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}
   • (Use your actual APP_URL + /success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID})
   • Create link

3. Configure ss-atlas via environment:

   STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK=https://buy.stripe.com/your_link_id
   MAX_SIGNUPS=10
   

Behavior

• Landing page shows "Sign Up Free" button → Payment Link
• Limit enforced at: landing, checkout form, success page, webhook
• Set MAX_SIGNUPS=0 to disable limit
