Environment Variables

Complete reference for all environment variables used in Gully Sports.

Core Settings​

Application Environment​

# Client-side environment (required)
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENVIRONMENT="production"  # or "sandbox" for testing

# Server-side environment (automatically set by Node.js/deployment platform)
NODE_ENV="production"  # or "development" for local development
Single Environment Variable Strategy

This application uses a two-variable environment strategy:

Client-Side (Browser/Frontend):

  • NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENVIRONMENT controls client-side payment SDKs and APIs
  • Used for: Payment SDK URLs, QuickBooks API endpoints, external API calls

Server-Side (Node.js/Backend):

  • NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENVIRONMENT controls server-side payment processing and database connections
  • Used for: Square Payment API, server configurations, security settings
  • Automatically set by deployment platforms (Vercel, AWS, etc.)

Both should be set to "production" for live deployments to ensure:

  • ✅ Live payments processing (PayPal, Venmo, Square, etc.)
  • ✅ Production payment SDKs and APIs
  • ✅ Correct security configurations
  • ✅ Proper database connection pooling
