+# Deploying your Gatsby storefront on Netlify
+
+This is a guide for deploying our [Gatsby storefront starter](https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa) on Netlify. Netlify is a platform that offers hosting and backend services for applications and static websites. The steps in this guide will work for most Gatsby projects.
+
+> At this point, you should have a local Gatsby storefront project running. If not, check out [our starter](https://github.com/medusajs/gatsby-starter-medusa) or use `npx create-medusa-app` to set up your application in a matter of minutes. For the latter, see [this guide](https://docs.medusa-commerce.com/how-to/create-medusa-app) for a small walkthrough.
+
+### 1. Install the Netlify CLI
+
+Install Netlify CLI on your machine using npm:
+
+```shell=
+npm install netlify-cli -g
+```
+
+### 2. Login to your Netlify account
+
+Connect to your Netlify account from your terminal:
+
+```shell=
+netlify login
+```
+
+Follow the instructions in your terminal.
+
+### 3. Netlify setup
+
+In order to deploy the project to Netlify, you need to create a new site, link the storefront Git repository to the site and configure environment variables.
+
+The Netlify CLI is used to achieve this.
+
+#### Create a new site
+
+```shell=
+netlify init
+```
+
+Follow the instructions in your terminal to authorize and connect your Git repository.
+
+The default build and deploy settings fit the needs of a Gatsby application, so leave these as is.
+
+#### Add an environment variable
+
+```shell=
+netlify env:set GATSBY_STORE_URL "https://your-medusa-server.com"
+```
+
+The above environment variable should point to your Medusa server.
+
+### 4. Push and deploy
+
+Finally to deploy the storefront, commit and push your changes to the repository connected in step 3.
+
+```shell=
+git add .
+git commit -m "Deploy Medusa Admin on Netlify"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Within a couple of minutes, your Gatsby storefront is up and running on Netlify.
+
+> If you experience CORS issues in your new setup, you might need to add your storefront url as part of the STORE_CORS environment variable in your server setup.
+
+### What's next?
+
+If you haven't deployed your Medusa server to use with your new storefront, check out our guide [Deploying on Heroku](https://docs.medusa-commerce.com/how-to/deploying-on-heroku).
