Prerequisites

  1. Analytics data must be exported from Firebase to BigQuery (Firebase setup, BiqQuery setup)

  2. If Admob Mediation is being used,

    1. Step 1: Enable impression-level ad revenue: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/11322405#getstarted

    2. Step 2: Ping impression-level ad revenue to Firebase. Sample code can be found here.

*Firebase’s auto tracking this revenue into event ad_impression. However, this event is not exported to BigQuery so ad impression revenue needs to be tracked in a separate event.


Special cases

  1. For Admob Mediation: Use connector Mediation Service > Firebase Ad Revenue.

  2. For Adjust (MMP): After adding Adjust connector, you will have the S3 Bucket Name, AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and CSV Definition.

    Use the above info to configure Adjust following

    • In Select Events for Export: Select "Install"


Real-time Tracking

For AppsFlyer:

  1. AppsFlyer’s default attribution data export is delayed max 1.5 days.

  2. In order to have realtime attribution data from Appsflyer, you can go to Appsflyer dashboard, go to Your game > Integrated Partner > Search “Cost Center” and configure it as following

For IronSource / Max Mediation:

  1. Revenue data from IronSource / Max Mediation is delayed max 1.5 days

  2. In order to have realtime revenue data, you can track ad-impression-level revenue to Firebase similar to Admob (Refer to "Prerequisites" section above) and use connector Mediation Service > Firebase Ad Revenue to import to Cost Center.

  3. Details on how to track revenue can be found here


Meta

If you’re running ads on Meta, make sure to sign Meta’s Advanced Mobile Measurement (AMM) terms—this step is required to get your data into Cost Center.

Next Step

Connect your data sources: Once the third-party services configurations are complete, you can now add the connectors on Cost Center and link your apps.
