4. Preview Deployments
One of Vercel's most powerful differentiators. Every pull request gets a live, deployed version of the application.
Why it matters for enterprise sales
- Design reviews: Designers and PMs can click through the actual feature, not a prototype
- QA: Testers can verify against the real deployment before merge
- Client approvals: Agency customers can show clients a live preview
- Catch bugs before production: Each PR is a full deployment with real infrastructure
How to demo it
# Create a branch
git checkout -b feature/new-checkout
# Make a change
echo "Adding new checkout flow..."
# Push — Vercel automatically creates:
# https://my-app-git-feature-new-checkout-my-org.vercel.app
git push origin feature/new-checkout
Integration with Git providers
