Pay Per Signup Programs and GXBill
By default, GXBill transactions that are not labeled as "dialer" transactions by GXBill will be counted as initials and will pay out on pay per sign up, on which you may not intend to have a payout. If you want to have "Phone" and "SMS" transactions from GXBill in NATS3 to be calculated as dialer transactions instead of initials, you will need to check the configuration option GXB_WEB900_AS_VOICE located in the "Signup" section of the Configuration Admin. With this set, programs will pay out based on the % Dialer value that you have set in the Programs Admin for phone and sms transactions from GXBill.
Geo-Target Banners
GXBill can replace the Pay by Phone text with the words "Pay by Phone" in a user's native language. To enable this feature, edit the NATS join template and make the following change:
Remove the following line:
<input class="join_button" type="submit" name="special[]" value="">
Replace it with the following line:
{if $special_options[option][1] == 'GXB:361'}<input class="join_button" type="image" src=http://www.gxplugin.com/banners/image.php?id=MERCHANTID&site=SITEID&skin=default
name="special[{$special_options[option][1]}]">{else}<input class="join_button" type="submit" name="special[{$special_options[option][1]}]" value="{$special_options[option][0]}">{/if}
Complete your change by logging in to your GXBill account and getting the extra banners. In the new code above, replace MERCHANTID and SITEID with the Merchant ID and Site ID that you wish to associate with these banners.
