How to Debug Your BiddingStack Integration

During integration, you may need to confirm that ad requests are firing correctly, ad slots are mapped properly, and your configuration behaves as expected. Before that, make sure the BiddingStack tag or SDK has been correctly implemented on your site or app.

This guide explains how to use BiddingStack's built-in testing parameters to debug integration issues in both desktop and mobile environments.

1. Entering Debug Mode

Append the following parameters to your page URL:

?biddingstack_testing=true&biddingstack_bslid=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>

Example:

https://example.com/?biddingstack_testing=true&biddingstack_bslid=1234567890123456

This activates test mode, allowing you to preview ad delivery and slot mapping in real time.

2. How It Works

  • biddingstack_testing=true signals the system to render ads in test mode.

  • biddingstack_bslid specifies the project ID of the site being tested.

  • Ads appear according to your BiddingStack configuration, reflecting placements and size settings.

Tip: You can create a copy of your current project and make modifications there. Once the copy has been verified and tested, you can apply the changes to the original project and publish it.

This method allows you to verify ad rendering visually, ensuring your BiddingStack integration is working correctly before going live.
