This page gives you step-by-step instructions for how you set a variety of SDK bidder networks live as ad networks on the MAX Mediation platform.
Before you start, make sure you have correctly integrated the supported MAX ad formats into your application. When you integrate third-party SDKs into your Mobile Property, you are solely responsible for such integrations. You and the third-party SDK provider must ensure compliant data processing and treatment of any end user- or device-based privacy choices or flags.
As a prerequisite, make sure you have added the adapter for this network by following the instructions in Preparing Mediated Networks. After you complete this integration, you can validate your integration by using the Mediation Debugger.

Step 1. Create an AdColony Account
To enable AdColony ad inventory through MAX Mediation platform, you must have an approved monetization account with AdColony. If you do not have an account, you can sign up at the AdColony site.

Amazon Publisher Services (APS) is an invitation-only program. To integrate APS, you first must create an APS account. Contact your APS representative to set up an APS account, or fill out the form on the APS website to request access. If APS approves your request, you will receive an invitation link that you can follow to sign up and to create your account with APS. You must complete this process before you proceed to set up APS in MAX mediation.
You must use AppLovin MAX SDK version 11.0.0 or higher to access the Amazon network. For more information, please refer to Amazon’s documentation.
Use the latest Amazon Publisher Services adapter version to avoid reporting discrepancies.
Step 1. Create an Amazon Account
To access Amazon ad inventory through MAX Mediation platform, you must have a valid account with Amazon. Sign in to your account through the Amazon Publisher Services page. If you do not already have an account, you will be prompted to create an account.
Payment information is required to receive ads. Please make sure to submit your payment information through the Payment Settings page.
Step 2. Create an Application in Amazon Publisher Services Portal
Log into your Amazon account and select SETUP > App & Slot Setup to start creating your apps.
After you create an app, select Actions > SETUP > ADD A SLOT and add an ad slot to your app.
Amazon leaders (tablet banners) are not supported. Only use Amazon banners when creating slot IDs in the Amazon dashboard.
You must create a new ad slot that is used only on MAX. You cannot re-use previous ad slot IDs. MAX supports Amazon interstitial video and rewarded video, but these formats on APS are manually configured by the Amazon team on behalf of publishers. Please reach out to your Amazon contacts for further help.
Step 3. Upload Your Price Point Mapping
Amazon will share with you a CSV file that contains price point mapping. Upload it into MAX Dashboard on the ad units for which you would like to enable APS:
You only have to do this once, as MAX uses the mapping across your entire account. If you update your price points, upload the new file by using the same process. AppLovin merges the new file into the existing price points AppLovin has in its system, overriding any existing price points and adding any new price points.

Criteo Publisher UI is mostly a managed service so most of the account setup is done by a Criteo account manager. If you do not have a direct contact at Criteo, contact maxbiddingsupport@criteo.com and a Criteo account manager will reply to you.
Step 1. Create a Criteo Account
To enable Criteo ad inventory through MAX platform, first sign a direct contract with Criteo. Contact maxbiddingsupport@criteo.com with a full list of your bundle IDs so the Criteo Supply Quality team can screen them. Once they approve your list, the Criteo team will send you an IO to sign. AppLovin also needs a bank proof and an updated W9 form for finance setup.
You then receive an email from the Criteo Publisher Management Center with login instructions. When you log in, you see the pop-up window shown below, in which you can read, and approve or reject, the Criteo addendum for third-party demand partners:
After you accept the addendum, share testing bundle IDs with your Criteo account manager. These IDs are submitted to Criteo’s supply quality team for approval. After they approve them, you are ready to go to Step 2:
Step 2. Create an Application and Placements in Criteo
To start monetizing your app with Criteo, you need your Criteo Account ID and the zone IDs associated with the app you created. These are created by your Criteo account manager. Tell your Criteo account manager which ad sizes you wish to monetize. Your Criteo account manager then completes the rest of the setup and shares the account and zone IDs with you.
Step 3. Enable Criteo in Your MAX Account
- After you complete your Criteo setup, log in to your MAX account and select MAX > Manage > Ad Units.
- Click the MAX ad unit placement on which you want to enable Criteo.

Notes and Best Practices
- Criteo’s bidding machine takes about two to three weeks to learn about new traffic.
- Criteo recommends that you do not set high floors (>$1) at the beginning, since that would result in a low bid rate before the bidding machine has a fair chance to assess all traffic.
- Expect a gradual increase of demand from Criteo as the company completes its Iponweb acquisition, with more third party demand along with Retail Media demand.

Choose Your Platform and Display Format
After you create your property, add the platform you want to monetize. Within a property you can have up to four Ad Spaces per platform, and you can add ad placements to each Ad Space.
You can add your payout information as soon as you finish setting up your business manager and property. Your app cannot receive Meta Audience Network ads until you add payout information.

Please work with your AppLovin account team to ensure that you apply best practices before you launch.
Step 3. Enable Meta Audience Network in Your MAX Account
- In the Monetization Manager, click Managed property then click Ad Spaces. Then, scroll down to Placements, or filter to find the placement that you need.
