Show Me the Money!
To view revenue and reports, login to your Unity Ads portal and click on your project name.
Click the Statistics tab which will show you your project overview. This table shows you revenue, eCPM, and Ad Starts for three intervals: Last 24 hours, last 7 days, and the last 30 days.
You can also export your Unity Ads raw data in CSV format on this page. Just below the Project Overview section is the area you can use to generate reports in CSV format.
To start receiving payments for your Unity Ads revenue, you’ll need to have earned at least $100.00 in ad revenue earnings. You’ll also need to fill out a few details on the Unity Ads dashboard, and generate an invoice to send to Unity.
Go to the main dashboard for Unity Ads, and click the Invoicing tab.
You’ll need to provide some details here such as your VAT ID (if you have one), and address details. Fill these out, and click Save.
Once you have reached at least $100.00 in earnings you can generate an invoice addressed to Unity Ads.
The very first time you invoice Unity Ads, you’ll also need to fill out a Wire Transfer Information form. This form is located here.
This does require a little bit of work up front, but once you’ve done it, the next time around is much easier! :]
Where to Go From here?
You can download the final project here. Before you can run it, you’ll need to re-link it to your own Unity Ads account.
If you have more questions about Unity Ads, there is an excellent FAQ website you can visit: https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/faq/monetization. This answers lots of common (and not so common!) questions on the platform.
There’s also some great Unity resources below on monetization and video ads:
