Please note: the following article describes an add-on feature to NATS4. If you want this feature, please request it and we'll install it on your system.
The Extended Sales module is an add-on to NATS4 that lets you track events that occur outside the NATS system. For example, you can enable free join tracking using the Extended Sales module.
NOTE: As of version 4.0.74.1, NATS supports free joins/no cost registration through the normal signup form. If you would like to set this feature up, please see our No Cost Registration wiki article.
Setup
Before you can set up extended sales, Too Much Media must install the Extended Sales Module on your system. To do so, please submit a support ticket.
Configuration File
To begin, you must first add the IP address of any computer that runs your reporting software to the NATS configuration file: includes/config.php. In the configuration file, make each address an element in the $config['EXTENDED_ALLOWED_IPS'] array. For example:
$config['EXTENDED_ALLOWED_IPS'] = Array( '0' => '111.111.111.111', '1' => '222.222.222.222', '3' => '333.333.333.333' );
Formatting this line incorrectly will cause your NATS to break-- thus you should ensure that each entry is a single IP address: ranges, masks, and globs are not supported by this module. Also, make sure that you have placed a comma between each entry. NATS will not accept extended sales data from computers with IP addresses that are not defined in this configuration array.
Billers Admin
To begin configuring your Extended Sales module, go to the Billers Admin in your NATS install. Go to the "Setup New Biller" drop-down menu, select "Extended Sales," and click Add. Give the biller a shortname to distinguish them, as NATS allows you to add multiple Extended Sales billers.
Sites Admin
Go to the Sites Admin and create a new tour, or edit an already existing one. On the Edit Tour page, scroll down to the "Add Extended Site Details" section and enter the extended sales biller's shortname that you created above.
You can also optionally associate extended sales to this particular site by using a specific join option. To do so, go to the Edit Tour page and add or edit a join option. On the Join Options page, scroll down to the Extended Option Codes section and enter the extended sales biller's shortname that you previously specified.
Programs Admin
If you want to set up payouts to affiliates, go to the Programs Admin and create a new program. On the Edit Program page, select the "Extended Sales Program" for the program type.
Sending Extended Sales Postbacks
If properly configured, your reporting software should send information about any extended sales to the following URL:
- http://domain/signup/process_extended.php
Simply replace domain with your site's domain.
Your reporting software needs to send the following information to the above URL in a HTTP GET or POST:
All Actions
Arguments that are always required:
- extended_id: the extended sales biller's shortname
- action:
- "SALE" or <blank> to register a new sale
- "CREDIT", "CHARGEBACK" or "VOID" registers a refund for that transaction ID number (transid)
SALE
To pay your affiliates for a new extended sale, set the action parameter (described above) to "SALE". Sales will have the following extra parameters:
Required argument for SALE:
- nats: The affiliate's natscode
OR
- site_id: the code you placed in the site setup for this extended biller
Optional arguments for SALE:
- username (NATS will randomly generate this if you don't send it)
- password (NATS will randomly generate this if you don't send it)
- option_id: the code you setup for the specific join option in the Sites Admin
- transid: your reporting software's arbitrary transaction identifier
- extended_type: the id of the extended type set up in the config file by Too Much Media techs
- amount: the amount of the extended sale in cents (minor currency units)
- $5.00 should be sent in as 500
- currency - 3 letter ISO code
- if not sent, NATS will assume base currency
- ip: the consumer's IP address

- shipping_firstname
- shipping_lastname

Additional Configuration
PROCESS_EXTENDED_PASSTHROUGH_ORDER - Determines which set of passthroughs will be prioritized when processing extended sales
1. From Postback

Required argument:
- transid: must match the original SALE's transid
Optional arguments:
