New to Upstack? Follow the getting started guide for a streamlined onboarding walkthrough.
Prerequisites
Before you start, you need:- An active Upstack Data account (sign up)
- Admin access to an AppLovin Axon account
- A configured Axon Pixel in the AppLovin Dashboard
1
Locate your AppLovin Pixel ID (Event Key)
In the AppLovin Dashboard, navigate to Account → General → Keys to find your Event Key (Pixel ID).Help guide:How to find your AppLovin Pixel ID →
2
Remove any existing Axon tag from your storefront
Upstack loads the Axon Pixel for you. If you already load Axon through your theme, Google Tag Manager, or another app, remove that copy first — two tags firing the same Pixel ID can double-count events.
3
Configure the AppLovin destination in Upstack Data
In the Upstack dashboard, navigate to Destinations and add an AppLovin destination using your Pixel ID.Help guide:How to configure the AppLovin destination in Upstack Data →

Verify the full setup is healthy
Confirm each piece of the setup is working:
- In the Upstack dashboard, Destinations shows your AppLovin destination as Healthy (green).
- In the AppLovin Axon Dashboard, the Events section shows recent events arriving.
- Upstack starts sending events as soon as you save the destination; AppLovin may take a little longer to show them.
What to expect after setup
Event delivery timeline
- Upstack starts sending events as soon as you save the destination. AppLovin may take a little longer to show them in its dashboard.
- Match quality improves as more identified customers (with email/phone at checkout) convert.
Reporting differences
- AppLovin’s algorithm receives more complete conversion data to optimize your campaigns.
- Conversion volume may fluctuate during the first 48 hours while AppLovin adjusts to the new event source.
