HEROKU SUPPORT GUIDE

1. Create a Heroku Account

Why?
You need a Heroku account to deploy and manage your app.

• Create a Heroku Account.
• Add your credit card details to enable eco dynos for cost savings. Heroku requires a payment method to prevent abuse but won't charge unless you exceed free tier limits.
