⚡ Before you start
Make sure you have correctly setup project.

  1. Set Manager Ids
  2. Select ad formats to use
  3. Add Ads Solution
  4. Advanced Integration
  5. Cross-promotion

In your Unity project, navigate to Assets > CleverAdsSolutions > Settings to create and modify default settings for each native platform.

⭐ Repeat the following steps for each platform in Android Settings and iOS Settings windows.

Manager Ids

A manager ID is a unique ID number assigned to each of your ad placements when they're created in CAS.
In most cases, the manager Id is the same as the Google Play App Bundle Id or the iTunes App Id.

⚠ In a real app, it is important that you use your actual CAS manager ID.

⭐ To work properly, you must define all identifiers that will be used in the application for a specific platform.

❕If you haven't created an CAS account and registered an app yet, now's a great time to do so at cleveradssolutions.com.
❕If you're just looking to experiment with the SDK, though, you can use the Test Ad Mode with any manager ID.

Select ad formats to use

To improve the performance of your application, we recommend that you only allow ad types that will actually be used in the application.

Advanced Integration

Advanced integration makes it possible to choose any variations of mediation networks. Feel free not to use ready-made solutions, and choose which mediated ad networks you want to integrate by checking the boxes in Advanced Integration section of settings window.

Cross-promotion

Cross-promotion is an app marketing strategy in which app developers promote one of their titles on another one of their titles. Cross promoting is especially effective for developers with large portfolios of games as a means to move users across titles and use the opportunity to scale each of their apps. This is most commonly used by hyper-casual publishers who have relatively low retention, and use cross promotion to keep users within their app portfolio.

Start your cross promotion campaign with CAS here.

⭐ CrossPromotion can be installed/removed using Solutions section.
