### Setup

Fast Phoenix includes an `.env` file to streamline your configuration for development. This file stores critical environment variables for services like Stripe, Mailgun, and project-specific constants.

### Configure Development Environment Variables

Open `.env.dev` and in a text editor, and replace the placeholder values with your own details. Here's what you'll need to customize:

```
SAAS_NAME=FastPhoenix
DOMAIN=your-domain.com 
EMAIL=your-email@example.com 
LOGO_LOCATION="your-logo-url"

# Stripe Configuration
