App and Placement Setup in 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 two options:
   • Find — Search for your app by bundle ID or store ID if already published on the App Store. Once found, click Submit.
   • Create — Manually add your app if not yet published or cannot be found via search. Enter the correct bundle ID.

Step 2: Add Placements to Your App

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 operates within waterfall mediation, so a bid floor is required for each placement
5. Name your placement using the convention AdFormat_ecpm_X.X
   • Example: Interstitial_ecpm_2.0, Banner_ecpm_0.5

warning

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.

warning

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.
