  1. From the Vercel dashboard, select the Integrations tab and then the Browse Marketplace button. You can also go directly to the Integrations Marketplace.

  3. From the integration's detail page, select Install.
  4. Review the dialog showing the products available for this integration and a summary of the billing plans for each. Select Install.
  5. Then, select a pricing plan option and select Continue. The specific options available in this step depend on the type of product and the integration provider. For example, for a storage database product, you may need to select a Region for your database deployment before you can select a plan
  6. Provide additional information in the next step like Database Name. Review the details and select Create. Once the integration has been installed, you are taken to the tab for this type of integration in the Vercel dashboard. In this case, it will be the Storage tab. You will see the details about the database, the pricing plan and how to connect it to your project.

Once installed, you can manage the following aspect of the native integration:

  • View the installed resources (instances of products) and then manage each resource.
  • Connect project(s) to a provisioned resource.
  • View the invoices and usage for each of your provisioned resources in that installation.
  • Uninstall the integration

To manage products inside the installed integration:

  2. Next to the integration, select the Manage button. Native integrations appear with a billable badge.

    • Getting Started shows you quick steps for connecting your project with the product.
    • Usage provides graphs that summarize your usage of the product on your projects for billing purposes.

  • Plan your product strategy: Decide whether you need separate products for different projects or environments:
    • Single resource strategy: For example, a small startup can use a single storage instance for all their Vercel projects to simplify management.
    • Per-project resources strategy: For example, an enterprise with multiple product lines can use separate storage instances for each project for better performance and security.
    • Environment-specific resources strategy: For example, a company can use different storage instances for each environment to ensure data integrity.
  • Monitor Usage: Take advantage of per-product usage tracking to optimize costs and performance by using the Usage and Invoices tabs of the product's settings page.
