Go Live with Vercel

In this section, we’ll guide you through deploying your new SaaS application using Vercel.

Steps

1. Create a New Project in Vercel

Begin by adding a new project to your Vercel dashboard.

2. Set Up Environment Variables

Open the Environment Variables section in your Vercel project settings.

Next, go to your .env.local file and copy its contents into this section. Your .env.local file should look like this (don’t forget to include your database URL):

Verify that you have all the necessary data by checking the .env.example file.

3. Deploy Your Application

After copying and pasting the content from your .env.local file, ensure all the variables are filled out in Vercel’s dashboard.

Now, click on the Deploy button and wait for Vercel to build and deploy your website!

4. Verify Deployment

Once the deployment is complete, you should see a success message indicating that your site is live.

5. Finalize Clerk and Stripe Settings

And that’s it! You’re now ready to showcase your SaaS project to the world!

You now have live access to your new SaaS application! However, please note that Clerk and Stripe are still in development mode. In the next steps, we will configure them for production.
