Create custom vendor

By default, Didomi pre-populates your organization's account with IAB, Google ATP, and Global vendors. In addition to these vendors, your organization can configure custom vendors for partners that you work with but are not reflected in these lists.

In this article, we will cover how to create and configure a new custom vendor via the Data Manager.

Click Add vendor +.

Use the provided fields on the subsequent page to configure the following attributes for the custom vendor:
