Create an Application in AppLovin

1. Enter AppLovin and log in to AppLovin account.

2. You do not need to manually create an application in the AppLovin background. When your application has integrated the AppLovin SDK and successfully initialized the SDK, the application will automatically be displayed on the Application interface.

After you successfully integrate the SDK, you only need to initialize the OpenMediation SDK, not the AppLovin SDK separately. It is recommended to check and confirm after successfully testing AppLovin's ads.

Add Placement

1. Click Monetization → Zones → Create Zone.

2. In the AppLovin's platform, the ad unit is called Zone, fill in the ad unit information, and click Save after filling in.
Tips: In the AppLovin platform, Zone does not need to be associated with the application. Therefore, if you have multiple applications under your AppLovin account, please distinguish between them to avoid configuration errors.

Name: You can define your own code location name, we recommend you name it Placement ID_Ad Network Name_ Country_Floor Price. (Example: 6539_Applovin_USA_40)
Platform: Select the application platform corresponding to the ad unit.
Ad Type: Choose an ad type
Pricing: Set reserve price
Flat CPM: Set the corresponding base price for the specified country/region. When filling in, you need to enter the full name to automatically search.
Optimized by AppLovin: will generate more revenue but wont hold a specific CPM.

OpenMediation Platform Configuration

1. Enter the OpenMediation publisher platform, click Ad Network → click Edit behind AppLovin.

2. After filling in the relevant information, click Save.

SDK Key And Report Key：
You can select Keys in the Account module to obtain SDK Key and Report Key.
Currency: Select the corresponding currency unit in your AppLovin report module.

Add Instance

1. Click Mediation → Ad unit → Add Instance.

2. After filling in the relevant information, click Save.

Ad Network: Select AppLovin。
Instance Name: You can define the name of your ad unit yourself, we suggest you name it: Placement ID_Ad Network Name_ Country_Floor Price.(E.g: 6539_AppLovin_USA_40)
Unit ID: You can enter the AppLovin platform and click the Zones interface on the left navigation bar to obtain the corresponding Zone Id.
