The Universal Windows Platform and the Windows Store make it easy for you to make money through paid downloads, in-app purchases, and ads. This video introduces these features and quickly shows you how to add ads to your apps.
This SDK provides the libraries and tools that you need to display ads in your apps, run experiments with A/B testing, and add customer feedback links into your apps. This SDK replaces the Microsoft Universal Ad Client SDK, and it will evolve over time to include new engagement and monetization features.
If your app is already configured to display banner ads from Microsoft, you can increase your ad fill rate and revenue by showing Microsoft affiliate ads in your app for products in the Store. When users click the ads and buy products within a given attribution window, you earn revenue on each purchase.
Run A/B tests in your apps to measure the effectiveness of feature changes (or variations) on some customers before you enable the changes for everyone. Use the Microsoft Store Engagement and Monetization SDK to instrument your app for A/B testing. Use Dev Center to create and manage A/B tests, and to switch your audience to winning variations without republishing your app.
