   How to enable direct sales with Adfox

   For more information, see Enabling direct sales with Adfox.

6. Click Save.

   The new unit with a unique ID will appear in the list on the app page. The unit ID (ID) consists of the product ID (R-M), app ID (PAGE_ID), and the unit index number.

   Note

   One app can have no more than 200 active ad units. Move unused units to the archive. If you need to add more than 200 units, contact support.
