How to Add Environment Variable in Netlify

Based on your Netlify dashboard, here's EXACTLY what to click:

Navigation Path:

Site Settings → Environment variables (left sidebar under "Build & deploy")

What You'll See:

You're currently looking at the Build & Deploy settings page. You need to scroll down in the left sidebar to find "Environment variables".

Steps:

  1. In the left sidebar, scroll down to find "Environment variables"
  2. Click on it
  3. You'll see a button "Add a variable" or "Declare variables"
  4. Click it and select "Add a single variable"
  5. Enter:
    • Key: VITE_API_URL
    • Value: https://YOUR-RAILWAY-URL.up.railway.app/api
    • Scopes: Check ✓ "Production" and ✓ "Deploy previews"
  6. Click "Create variable"

After Adding the Variable:

  1. Go to "Deploys" (in the left sidebar under "Project overview")
  2. Click "Trigger deploy" button (top right)
  3. Select "Clear cache and deploy site"
  4. Wait 2-3 minutes for deployment to complete

That's it! Your site will rebuild with the new environment variable and connect to your Railway backend instead of localhost.
