Add an app {#step-1} > _Role: monetization manager / app developer_ Monetization is available for apps from the following stores: - the App Store - Google Play - Huawei AppGallery - Xiaomi (getapp.store) - RuStore To learn how to add an app, see [Adding an app](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/app/add.md#add-app). ## Step 2. Pass moderation {#step-2} Once you've added your app, it'll be automatically queued for moderation, and you'll need to wait for it to get approved. For more information, see [App moderation](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/payments/app-moderation.md). ## Step 3. Verify your app {#step-3} > _Role: monetization manager / app developer_ [Verify your app](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/app/add.md#verify-app) using the developer's email or site specified in the app store. One of the ways to do that is by using the app-ads.txt file. Learn about [app-ads.txt](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/app/ads-txt.md) and how to configure it. ## Step 4. Add an ad unit {#step-4} > _Role: monetization manager / app developer_ The following ad formats are available in the Boost:
Ad formats
After adding the app, create an ad unit of the required format: enter its name and specify the necessary settings. Once created, the unit is assigned a unique ID in the following format: `R-M-0000000-0`. For detailed instructions on how to create units of different formats, see [Creating ad units](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/formats.yaml). {% note info "Resource Quality" %} Impressions on high-quality websites are paid at a higher rate. To learn how to improve your website’s quality, see the section [Improving resource quality and increasing ad revenue](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/quality/index.md). {% endnote %} ## Step 5.
