Deploy a v0 app to Netlify

Good if you need commercial use without paying for Vercel Pro.

Specific to v0 + Netlify
  • Netlify applies its OpenNext adapter to Next.js automatically.
Need an always-on server?

Netlify doesn't run always-on servers. If your project has a long-running backend (websockets, bots, background jobs), use Railway or Render for that part.

Step by step

  1. Check your project type

    • Next.js app: next.config.* and an app/ directory.

  2. Get the code onto GitHub

    • Connect GitHub: v0 creates a private repo; Publish merges changes via pull request.
    • Or download the project as a ZIP.

  3. Create the project on Netlify

    In Netlify choose Add new project → Import an existing project, connect GitHub and pick your repository. Netlify detects Vite and fills in the build settings.

  4. Check the build settings

    For Vite: build command npm run build, publish directory dist. The publish directory is relative to the base directory.

    For v0: build command next build (npm run build), output Handled by the framework adapter.

  5. Add environment variables before the first build

    In Netlify: Project configuration → Environment variables (add them before the first build). Copy these from v0:

    • Any keys you added in v0's Vars panel — re-add them at the host.

    Changed a value later? Rebuild. Vite bakes variables in at build time. Troubleshoot missing env vars

  6. Make page refreshes work (Vite / React Router single-page apps)

    public/_redirects (ends up in dist/_redirects) 
    /*  /index.html  200

    Server-rendered projects (TanStack Start, Next.js) don't need this. Netlify docs (opens in a new tab)

  7. Update login redirect URLs

    Add your new Netlify URL (and later your custom domain) to your auth provider's allowed URLs. Redirect troubleshooting

  8. Add your domain

    Project → Domain management → Add a domain, then follow the DNS instructions (or delegate your domain to Netlify DNS). HTTPS is automatic.

What it will cost

Free tier Free: $0 forever — 300 credits/month. Paid from $9/mo: Personal: $9/month, 1,000 credits. Pro: $20/month, 3,000 credits, unlimited members. Checked 17 Oct 2026 on Netlify's pricing page (opens in a new tab).

  • Every production deploy costs credits, so frequent auto-deploys from an AI builder eat into the free 300.
