This guide explains how to connect your websites, apps, and channels to the AdLuxe Network within the CrownThrive ecosystem. Integration ensures ads display correctly, track accurately, and optimize for maximum performance.
1. Why Technical Integration Matters
Proper integration ensures campaigns deliver without errors, data flows seamlessly, and reporting remains accurate.
Quick Tip: Test your integration before launching live campaigns to avoid missed revenue.
2. Website Integration (Script & Tag Manager)
- Place AdLuxe ad tags directly in your site’s HTML or through a tag manager.
- Use asynchronous tags to improve page load speed.
- Verify placement on desktop and mobile.
Best Practice: Group ad tags in a centralized tag manager for easier updates.
3. CMS Plugins (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)
- Install the official plugin for your CMS.
- Configure your site ID, zone IDs, and targeting options.
- Test on staging before deploying to production.
4. Mobile & CTV Integration (SDKs / Wrappers / VAST)
- For mobile apps, integrate the AdLuxe SDK to enable in-app ad serving.
- For OTT/CTV, use VAST-compatible players.
- Ensure all creatives meet platform requirements.
Quick Tip: Keep SDKs updated to the latest version for improved performance.
5. REST API Access
- Use API endpoints for campaign creation, user management, ad uploads, and reporting.
- Secure API keys and rotate them periodically.
- Limit access to trusted developers.
6. Webhooks & Postbacks

- Configure postbacks for conversion tracking.
