App Settings, Backups and Billing

Open your app, click the Settings tab, and choose a section in the Platform Settings menu on the left (number 1).

1. Environment Variables: your app's settings

Environment variables are named settings your app reads, like APP_URL (its address) or DATABASE_URL (where its database is). Secret keys live here too.

1. Add variable (number 2): add one setting with a name and a value.
2. Import .env (number 3): add many at once from a .env file (a text file with NAME=value lines).
3. Quick start (number 4): click a common name like PORT or NODE_ENV to fill it in.
4. Row buttons (number 5): show the hidden value (eye), edit, copy or delete.

Names use capital letters and underscores, like MY_SETTING. The same name cannot be used twice.

2. Backup & Restore: keep a copy of your data

For apps that keep their data in a file (for example 9router):

1. Export (number 1): downloads a copy of your data. The app pauses briefly so the copy is complete. The download link works for 15 minutes.
2. Import (number 2): uploads a copy you exported before. Your current data is replaced, and the app restarts briefly.

Only one backup or restore runs at a time.

3. Cancel the app (Danger Zone)

1. Open Danger Zone and click Cancel Subscription.
2. Type the confirmation text shown on the screen.
3. Click Confirm Cancellation.

What happens next:

• The app keeps running until the end of the period you paid for. The page shows Cancellation Scheduled with the date.
• After that date, the app and all its data are deleted permanently.
• There is no refund for the rest of the period.

Export your data first (part 2) if you want to keep it.

4. How billing works

• Apps are paid from your organization balance (top right of the console). Top up with the lightning icon or in Console > Billing.
• The package sets CPU, RAM, disk and how many own domains you can add.
• Terms: monthly or annual (about 8% cheaper). Some big packages are per 6 months. The Small package is 1 month only.
• The price that counts is the one in the Deploy panel, because it depends on region and term.
• See all subscriptions and invoices in Console > Billing.

Summary

• Cancelling deletes everything after the paid period ends. Export first.
