How to deploy to Vercel on Shipixen
Quick Answer
Deploying to Vercel from Shipixen is automated through their integrated deployment system. Simply configure your project settings and click deploy to have your site live on Vercel's CDN within minutes.
Prerequisites
- Active Shipixen account
- Generated website project in Shipixen
- Vercel account
- GitHub account connected to Vercel
1
Access your Shipixen project dashboard
Log into your Shipixen account and navigate to the project you want to deploy. Click on the Deploy tab in your project dashboard to access deployment options.
Tip
Make sure your project build completed successfully before attempting deployment.
2
Select Vercel as deployment target
In the deployment options, click on Vercel from the list of available platforms. If this is your first time, you'll see a Connect to Vercel button to authorize the integration.
3
Connect your Vercel account
Click Connect to Vercel and you'll be redirected to Vercel's authorization page. Grant Shipixen the necessary permissions to deploy on your behalf. You'll be redirected back to Shipixen once the connection is established.
Tip
Ensure you're logged into the correct Vercel account before authorizing.
4
Configure deployment settings
Set your Project Name for Vercel (this will be part of your URL). Choose your Team if you have multiple Vercel teams. Optionally, add a Custom Domain if you want to use your own domain name.
Tip
Project names must be unique across Vercel, so choose something descriptive and memorable.
5
Review build configuration
Shipixen automatically configures the build settings for your project type. Review the Framework Preset (usually Next.js), Build Command, and Output Directory. These are pre-configured but can be customized if needed.
Tip
Most Shipixen projects work perfectly with default settings - only modify if you have specific requirements.
6
Set environment variables
If your project requires environment variables, click Add Environment Variables. Enter each variable name and value. Common variables include API keys, database URLs, or configuration flags that your application needs.
Tip
Never expose sensitive API keys in client-side code - mark them as server-side only when possible.
7
Deploy your project
Click the Deploy to Vercel button to start the deployment process. Shipixen will push your code to Vercel and trigger the build. You can monitor the deployment progress in real-time through the deployment logs.
8
Access your live site
Once deployment completes successfully, you'll receive your live site URL (typically
projectname.vercel.app). Click Visit Site to view your deployed website. The URL is also saved in your Shipixen project dashboard for future reference.Tip
Bookmark your Vercel dashboard URL to easily manage deployments and view analytics later.
Troubleshooting
Deployment fails with 'Build timeout exceeded' error
Check your build logs for memory-intensive operations or infinite loops. Try optimizing your build process or contact Shipixen support if the issue persists with default configurations.
Custom domain shows 'Invalid Configuration' status
Verify your DNS settings point to Vercel's nameservers. Add the required A record (76.76.19.61) and CNAME record for www subdomain as shown in your Vercel domain settings.
Environment variables not working in production
Ensure environment variables are added in the Vercel dashboard under Settings > Environment Variables. Redeploy your project after adding new variables for them to take effect.
Site shows 404 error after deployment
This usually indicates routing issues. Check that your
next.config.js file has the correct configuration and that all page files are in the proper /pages or /app directory structure.Ready to get started with Shipixen?
