Beta keys instead of payment for Laravel Spark?

Hi, I'm launching an app with Laravel Spark and would like to offer beta keys instead of having any payment processing whatsoever. Any advice on how I would do this?

Thanks.

Why would you use Spark at all then? Wouldn't a freePlan() work?

Why not use COUPON codes for the beta keys? I think you can make a ton of unique ones. Make the plan whatever you want to bill them after beta, and make the coupons discount it.

@mikecurry74 If I were to go this route with coupon codes as beta keys, how would I remove access to a user to sign up or gain access to the site without the coupon code from stripe? Thoughts?
