How to deploy your first Stack in Node?

This article walks you through the final activation steps for a Node Stack, including checklist validation, deployment, and how to connect your site to the Pubstack server.

Quick checklist recap

Once you're done with : - Creating your website ✅ - Creating ad units & bidders ✅ - Mapping ad units & bidders ✅

Click on "Add stack" to continue. You can leave the default bidder rule or select another one if needed (this will be explained in the next section). Click “Add new stack” to confirm. Don’t worry—there will still be one more step before monetization actually starts.

You will now see your first Stack appear 🎉

Tip: Your first Stack will always be named “Default” and cannot be edited.

The final step before starting monetization is to deploy the Stack. If you’re ready, click the arrow button under Actions to deploy Node on your website.

⚠️ Before doing so, make sure your site is connected to the Pubstack server. This step is explained in the Node Technical Requirements article.

Once completed, your Stack’s status will update to Live. Deployment is almost immediate.

Congratulations, you're done ✅ You can now refer to the advanced sections of the Node Knowledge Base.
