Deploying Your Store to Netlify

This guide walks you through putting the website we built for you live on the internet — hosted for free on Netlify, connected to your own domain, and updating automatically whenever we ship changes.

Before you start

You'll need three things:

A GitHub account (free)
A Netlify account (free)
Your domain (if you already own one)

We'll send you an invitation to your store's repository on GitHub. Accept it before continuing.

Step 1 — Accept the repository invitation

Open the invitation email from GitHub and click Accept invitation. You'll be taken to your store's repository, where all the website code lives.

You don't need to touch any of the code. The repository is there so your site can be deployed and updated automatically.

Step 2 — Create your Netlify account

Go to netlify.com and click Sign up. Choose Sign up with GitHub so both accounts are connected from the start. This is important: it's what allows Netlify to read your repository.

Authorize the connection when GitHub asks for it.

Step 3 — Import your site

Once you're inside Netlify, click Add new site and then Import an existing project.

Select GitHub as your provider. Netlify will show you a list of repositories you have access to. Pick your store's repository.

Step 4 — Set your environment variables

Your store reads its configuration from three environment variables. In Netlify, go to Project configuration → Environment variables, click Add a variable and choose Import from a .env file. Paste the block below into the "Contents of .env file" box, replace the values with your own, and click Import variables.

env

VITE_TEBEX_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

# ─── Server links ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VITE_DISCORD_URL=https://discord.gg/yourserver
VITE_CONNECT_URL=fivem://connect/serverId

What each variable does:

Variable	What it does
`VITE_TEBEX_TOKEN`	Your Tebex public token — it's how the site loads your packages, prices and checkout. Without it the store can't show products. You'll find it in your Tebex creator panel → Integrations → API.
`VITE_DISCORD_URL`	Your Discord invite. Every Discord button and card on the site points here.
`VITE_CONNECT_URL`	Your `fivem://connect/...` link. The "Connect" button uses it to drop players straight into your server.

The two server links have a fallback baked into your site — we ask for your Discord and connect links when we build it, so the site works even before you set them. We still recommend setting them here: it means you can change your invite or server address any time, without asking us to touch code. VITE_TEBEX_TOKEN has no fallback — the store needs it to load.

If your site had already deployed before you added the variables, apply them by going to Deploys and clicking Trigger deploy → Deploy project.

Step 5 — Deploy

Netlify will detect the build settings automatically. You shouldn't need to change anything here.

Click Deploy site.

The first build takes a couple of minutes. When it finishes, you'll see a green Published label and a temporary URL that looks something like random-name-12345.netlify.app.

Your store is already live at that address. The next step is putting it on your own domain.

Step 6 — Connect your custom domain

This is the part where your store goes from a temporary Netlify address to your real domain.

The video below walks through the full process, from adding the domain in Netlify to updating the DNS records at your registrar.

Custom domain setup — full walkthrough

A few notes while you follow along:

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to take effect. If your domain doesn't work right away, give it some time before assuming something went wrong.
Netlify issues a free SSL certificate automatically once the domain is verified. You don't need to buy one.
If you bought your domain somewhere other than Netlify, you'll be changing settings at your registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Spaceship, Cloudflare, etc.). The process is the same everywhere, only the interface changes.

Updates

Once everything is set up, you don't need to do anything to keep the site updated. When we push changes to the repository, Netlify rebuilds and publishes your site automatically.

You'll see every deploy listed in the Deploys tab of your Netlify dashboard.

Troubleshooting

The build failed. Open the failed deploy in Netlify and check the log. Send us a screenshot and we'll take a look.

My domain isn't working. Give DNS changes up to 24 hours. If it's still not resolving after that, double-check that the records at your registrar match exactly what Netlify asked for.

I don't see my repository in the list. Make sure you accepted the GitHub invitation, and that you signed into Netlify with the same GitHub account.

Something looks wrong on the site. That's on us, not on the deploy. Reach out and we'll fix it.
