Error

process.env.MY_VAR is undefined on the live site even though it was added in the Vercel dashboard.

Fix

Env vars are baked in at deploy time. After adding or changing one, redeploy (vercel --prod, or Redeploy in the dashboard). Also check it was added to the Production environment, not only Preview/Development. Client-side code in Next.js only sees vars prefixed NEXT_PUBLIC_; in Vite they need the VITE_ prefix.
