3. Configure newly added network to work with your Ad Units. Navigate to Mediation -> Manage -> Ad Units.

Then choose an Ad Unit you want to use with Start.io and scroll down to section Custom Networks & Deals.

Toggle switch Status to make it activated and displayed in green.

Field App ID is mandatory, no matter that in dashboard it is marked as optional.

Field Placement ID: put the line item ID if you have one, or put the string default instead.

Field CPM Price: this value determines the order in which adapters are traversed in the waterfall.

Important: You have to use the same App ID from the Start.io portal for all Ad Units in frame of single app!

Advanced configuration

You can pass plain JSON string into the field Custom Parameters for advanced configuration:

{
    "adTag": "string",
    "interstitialMode": "string", // one of "overlay", "video", "offerwall"
    "minCPM": "number",
    "is3DBanner": "boolean", // applicable only for banner 320x50
    "nativeImageSize": "string", // one of "72x72", "100x100", "150x150", "340x340", "1200x628"
    "nativeSecondaryImageSize": "string" // one of "72x72", "100x100", "150x150", "340x340", "1200x628"
}

Testing

The demo app is fully workable. Change SDK key and ad unit IDs in ad_ids.xml, then build and run the app to make sure your integration is working correctly.

Important: AppLovin mediation doesn't work with test mode. Thus, if you set test devices IDs during AppLovin configuration or if you run test app on emulator, you won't get Start.io ads.
