The Monetization topic lets you measure purchase, ad, and subscription revenue, see how users engage with items and add them to their cart, and complete steps in the checkout funnel. The data in the Monetization topic can help you understand consumer behavior and enhance your monetization strategy.
Default reports
If a property administrator hasn't customized the report navigation, you'll see the following reports in the topic. A property administrator can further customize the overview report or customize the detail reports to fit your business objectives.

In order to see the in_app_purchase and subscription events that populate the reports, you must either:

Publisher ads
The Publisher ads reports let you see revenue generated from displaying ads on your mobile app. You can collect ad revenue data when you set up ad measurement through the Firebase SDK. When you integrate with:
- AdMob, ad revenue is measured automatically.
- MoPub, ironSource, or another ad monetization platform, you can see impression-level revenue data by sending the ad_impression event.
The following reports display by default:
| Report name | Displays... |
