To get started with in-app bidding, you must integrate Moloco SDK with the mediation platform you work with. This guide walks you through the requirements and process of setting up in-app bidding with AppLovin MAX.
Prerequisites
- AppLovin MAX SDK ver.12.3.0 or later
- Moloco SDK ver.2.3.0 or later for Android and ver.2.2.1 or later for iOS
Important: Be sure to use the latest version of AppLovin MAX SDK, as Moloco SDK is bundled with AppLovin MAX SDK by default and no separate integration between the two SDKs is needed.
Step 1: Configure settings for in-app bidding on the Moloco Publisher Portal.
Sign in to your account in the Moloco Publisher Portal and create your app(s) and ad unit(s). You must create an ad unit for each ad format. For example, you must create an ad unit for interstitials and another for rewarded videos. To enable header bidding, reach out to your Moloco representative.
Important: You can't use any existing waterfall ad units for in-app bidding. Be sure to create separate ad units specifically for in-app bidding.
Step 2: Configure settings for Moloco bidding on the AppLovin MAX dashboard.
After you have created all your apps and ad units in the Moloco Publisher Portal, you must add Moloco as a bidder and map the ad units you have created in the Moloco Publisher Portal.
- To add Moloco as a bidder to the AppLovin MAX dashboard, sign in to your AppLovin MAX account and navigate to MAX > Manage > Ad Units. Select the MAX ad unit(s) you would like to enable Moloco in-app bidding for. Then, click the Status toggle to activate.
- To map the ad units you have created in the Moloco Publisher Portal, copy over the App Key(s) and Ad Unit ID(s) from the Moloco Publisher Portal. You can find the App Key for an app by navigating to Apps > app > App Detail in the Moloco Publisher Portal. You can find the Ad Unit ID for an ad unit by navigating to Ad Units > ad unit > Ad Unit Detail in the Moloco Publisher Portal.
