The Affiliates Admin is a group of features in NATS For Networks that allow you to manage your affiliates, view their statistics, edit their permissions and details, and get other essential information.

The NATS For Networks Affiliates Admin

Searching For Affiliates

At the top of the Affiliates Admin main page, you will see an "Affiliate Search" box, which allows you to find specific affiliates by using a variety of search parameters. The Affiliates Admin offers Basic and Advanced search forms. The basic form allows you to search by Username, E-Mail, Affiliate ID, and Status (active, banned, disabled, etc.). The Advanced Search Form offers a wide variety of parameters to search by, allowing you to make more specific search parameters. These categories include:

  • Account Info - Search by basic affiliate information, such as username, e-mail, real name, ICQ, AIM, address, etc.
  • Linked Accounts - Search by referring affiliate, referrer ID, and account rep.
  • Payment Details - Search by minimum payment, PayVia type, or PayVia info.
  • Statistics for (period) - Sort statistics by time periods, such as last period, this period, this year, etc. Search by page views, unique visitors, sales, and ratio. You can specify your search by "Less Than" or "At Least".
  • Access Details - Search by last login IP and last login date.
  • Limitations - Only search for specific account type, whether an account is in-house, and choose how many affiliates to display per page.

You can also get a complete CSV Dump of affiliate data by clicking the "Full CSV Dump" button in the Affiliate Search box at the top of the page. NATS For Networks also offers an "E-mail Dump" feature. This will obtain only dumps of affiliates' e-mail addresses, an additional dump statistic, through the affiliate search table.

The Affiliates Table

The Affiliates Table can be found below the "Affiliate Search" box on the Affiliates Admin main page. This contains information regarding every affiliate you have in your NATS For Networks system, including:

  • Username - Displays the username of the affiliate, and the status of their account (active, disabled, banned)
  • Real Name (Country)/E-Mail - Displays the real name of the affiliate, along with their country and the e-mail address they used to register
  • Joined/Last Login - Displays the time and date the affiliate joined, as well as their last login

At the bottom of the Affiliates Table, you will find a drop-down menu that allows you to perform batch actions on affiliates. You can perform these batch actions by selecting them with the checkboxes to the left of each affiliate name, and using the available drop-down menu. Through the drop-down menu, you can:

  • Delete - Removes the selected affiliates from list of available affiliates.
  • Restore (Delete) - Restores a deleted affiliate to your "Affiliates" list. This functionality will be added to later versions of NATS For Networks.

  • Assign Account Rep - Allows you to assign an Account Representative to a chosen affiliate. This action cannot be performed as a batch action.
  • Assign Referrer - Allows you to assign an affiliate as a referrer for another affiliate. This action cannot be performed as a batch action.

Click the Perform Action button to perform your specified action to your selected affiliates.

Affiliate Documents

NATS For Networks lets you upload and send documents to affiliates. To do so, go to the Affiliates Admin, select the affiliate you want, and click the Affiliate Documents icon. Once you are on the Documents page, you can use the field there to upload and send documents to this affiliate-- existing documents will be listed on the page.

Uploading Documents in NATS For Networks

Before you can begin uploading documents for your affiliates, you must first make allowances for file extensions and IPs in the Configuration Admin. Go to the "Security" section of the Configuration Admin and scroll down to the "Document Upload" settings. Here, you will find two configuration settings regarding document uploads:

  • DOCUMENTS_SECURE_EXT - Input which file extensions you wish to allow in a comma-separated list. For example: .doc,.txt,.docx
  • DOCUMENTS_SECURE_IPS - Input which IPs will be allowed to upload documents in a comma-separated list.


Affiliate Admin Settings

Affiliate Admin Settings allows you to customize affiliates beyond the standard settings. Here you can manually mark In-House Accounts, indicate that certain documents have been received, set trust levels, and allow features like manual invoices.

For more information on Affiliate Admin Settings, please see our Affiliate Admin Settings wiki article.

When you are done further configuring your affiliate, click Save Changes.

Manual Invoices

NATS For Networks allows you to give a one-time credit to an affiliate with a manual invoice. With this option, the affiliate will be paid the additional amount the next time you store payments.

Warning: after you make a manual invoice, you can not remove it; you must pay the affiliate.

To add a manual invoice, you must first enable them in the Affiliates Admin. Find the affiliate you wish to allow manual invoices for, and click the Edit Affiliate Admin Settings icon. Under "Main Settings", enable the Manual Invoices check-box and click Save Changes.

Once you have done this, return to the main Affiliate Admin, find the affiliate again, and click the new Add Manual Invoice icon. Enter the amount to pay the affiliate and click Add Invoice.
