How it flows
How a Custom stack event reaches Tapjoy. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.
01 Capture
Captured from Custom stack
Not on the list? Send events to Upstack from any stack over webhook or direct post, with the same schema and the same resolution.

02 Understand
Resolved to one person before it leaves
Every Custom stack event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.
How resolution works →

- Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never reaches the model, because what you keep out of the training set matters as much as what goes in.
03 Activate
Delivered to Tapjoy
Forward resolved purchase events to Tapjoy so rewarded placements optimize toward buyers rather than toward engagement.

The catch
The freedom to name your own events is also the risk: an ad platform expects specific event names and parameter shapes, and anything outside that is accepted and ignored.
Mapping happens before send, not in the platform.

What changes
What changes when Custom stack feeds Tapjoy. Two gains on the Tapjoy side, two on the Custom stack side.
Tapjoy
Server-side delivery
Events reach Tapjoy through its server API rather than the browser, so ad blockers and ITP don’t cost you conversions.
Tapjoy
Identity-resolved events
Events sent to Tapjoy carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.
Custom stack
Any stack, any framework
Headless, custom checkout, native app or a platform we haven’t listed: if it can make an HTTP request, it can send to Upstack.
Custom stack
The same event schema
Custom events are resolved, filtered and forwarded exactly like a Shopify order.
Setup
Post directly from your backend so nothing depends on the browser.
Connect Custom stack once and every destination, Tapjoy included, is forwarded the same resolved events.
