Setting Up Your App in the Bidease Monetize UI

📘

Before integrating the SDK, you need to register your app and create ad placements in the Bidease Monetize dashboard. The placement names you configure here must match the ones you use in your SDK integration and mediation setup.

Step 1: Add Your App

1. Log in to monetize.bidease.com
2. Go to Applications and click Add
3. Add your app using one of the two options below:

• Find — if your app is already published on the App Store, search for it by bundle ID or store ID. The system will look up the app automatically. Once found, click Submit.
• Create — if your app is not yet published or cannot be found via search, add it manually using the Create option. Make sure to enter the correct bundle ID.

Step 2: Add Placements to Your App

Once your app is added, you need to create ad placements for it.

1. In Applications, open the required app
2. Go to Ad Placements and click +
3. Select the Inventory Type that matches your ad format (Banner, Interstitial, Rewarded)
4. Set a Bid Floor — Bidease currently operates within waterfall mediation, so a bid floor is required for each placement
5. Name your placement following this convention: AdFormat_ecpm_X.X
   • Example: Interstitial_ecpm_2.0, Banner_ecpm_0.5

Important: Placement names must match exactly what you configure on the mediation side. A mismatch will prevent ads from serving.

Step 3: Add app-ads.txt

app-ads.txt is an IAB standard that authorizes Bidease as a legitimate seller of your inventory. Without it, buyers cannot verify your supply chain — which directly impacts fill rates and revenue.

1. In the Bidease Monetize dashboard, go to the App-ads.txt section
2. Copy the lines provided — make sure the file includes DIRECT entries
3. Add the copied lines to the app-ads.txt file hosted at the root of your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com/app-ads.txt)

No DIRECT lines? If you don't see any DIRECT entries in the dashboard, contact your Bidease account manager — they will help you configure the file correctly.

Important: Missing or incomplete app-ads.txt will significantly reduce your fill rate and overall performance. Make sure the file is live on your domain before going to production.
