== Set up on CCBill's Website ==
[http://www.CCBill.com/ Register a CCBill account.]

To setup the site sub-account, login to the [http://webmin.ccbill.com CCBill Admin], 
click Tools, click Account Maintenance, and go to the Account Setup
section. Follow the on-screen instructions to setup the the site basics.
You don't need to download the index page.

After setting up a sub-account, click Tools and Account Maintenance again
and select a site from the list of sub-accounts.  Choose Basic Setup and
enter the following Denial URL:

* <nowiki>http://linkdomain/signup/signup.php?step=3&site=%%siteid%%&memberid=%%memberid%%</nowiki>

Choose Advanced Setup and enter the following URL in both the Denial and Approval Post URL
fields: 

* <nowiki>http://linkdomain/signup/process_ccbill.php</nowiki>

In the above Denial and Approval URLs, replace ''linkdomain'' with your
[[ct#Link Domain|linkdomain]].

Go to User Management.  If your site needs user management, set the
following options, but make sure they match the NATS settings.

* Username Type: USER DEFINED
* Collect Username/Password: Display Username and Password
* Min. Username Length: 6
* Max. Username Length: 16
* Min. Password Length: 6
* Max. Password Length: 16 

Ensure CCBill's Pricing Admin lists every pricing option you want to set
up for this site in the NATS.

=== Set up Datalink ===
You need at least two or more sub-accounts to set up Datalink -- but you don't
need to use the second account. Before you start setting up Datalink,
you also need your NATS server's IP address.

Contact CCBill customer support and ask them to setup Datalink or login
to the CCBill Admin, go to Premium Features, go to Value Added Features,
go to Data Link Services Suite, and enter a username and password.  Give
CCBill customer support your NATS IP address or enter it on the Data
Link Services Suite page.

== Set up CCBill in NATS ==
Go to the [[Billers Admin]], select CCBill from the Billers drop-down,
and click Add.  Enter your CCBill account number, login, password,
datalink username, and datalink password.

In [[NATS3]], go to [[Sites Admin]], edit or create a site, and go to the [[Biller Details]]
section. In the CCBill subsection and enter your Sub-Account ID. You may
optionally enter any of the following: the CC Form ID, Check Form ID,
Web900 Form, Upgrade sub-account number, and SKU ID.

In [[NATS4]], go to Sites Admin, edit a tour, and go to the [[Biller Details]]
section. In the CCBill subsection, enter your Sub-Account ID. You may
optionally enter any of the following: the CC Form ID, Check Form ID,
Web900 Form, Upgrade sub-account number, and SKU ID.

In either version of NATS, go to the [[Join Options]] section and enter your CCBill Payment ID
(Subscription Type ID), your credit card code (CC), check code, and
Web900 code.  You may also enter your CCBIll alternative sub-account
join option.

== Subscription Upgrade ==
Use CCBill's back-end post system. Set up an upgrade sub-account for
each site in CCBill, find a site in the NATS Sites Admin, and click the
Edit icon. Scroll down to the Biller Details section and find the CCBill
subsection. Enter the upgrade sub-account information in the provided
field and click the Save Changes button. Repeat for each site. The next
step is to contact CCBill and inform them that you want to enable
upgrades using the back-end posts.

When setting up your upgrade sub-accounts, you must provide CCBill
with the IP addresses of your server for both the normal and upgrade 
sub-accounts. The IP addresses for the normal and upgrade sub-accounts
must match or the upgrades will not work.

Go to advanced setup for the upgrade sub-account and enter the following
URL in the Denial and Approval Post URL fields:

* <nowiki>http://<linkdomain>/signup/process_ccbill_upgrade.php</nowiki>

Replace ''<linkdomain>'' with your site's [[Link Domain|linkdomain]].

After CCBill upgrades are working, put the following link in your
limited members area for user upgrades:

* <nowiki>http://<linkdomain>/signup/upgradeplus.php?site=<siteid>&username=<username></nowiki>

Replace ''<linkdomain>'' with the [[Link Domain|linkdomain]] for your site.  Replace
''<siteid>'' with your site's ID number.  Replace ''<username>'' with
the upgrading member's username.

== CCBill Random Usernames and Passwords ==
If you setup random username's on CCBill's website, you must remove
the Username and Password fields from your [[ct#Site|site's]] [[ct#Join Form|join form]].

== Disable CCBill Decline Auto-Redirect ==
If CCBill automatically redirects to a "Signup with Bank Account" page
regardless of what's in your [[ct#Cascade|cascade]], you probably have CCBill Decline
Auto-Redirect enabled. Go to the CCBill website, log in, find the Forms
or Traffic Flow page, and disable the feature to automatically redirect
surfers on a decline.

== Invalid Request Error ==
The invalid request error appears when the biller isn't set up correctly
in the [[Billers Admin]]. Go to the Billers Admin and double-check your
biller account info. Remember not to include the sub-account ID in the
account ID. If this is not the problem, ensure the sub-account was
been enabled.

== CCBill Member and Password Management ==
You need to enable CCBill password management if you use text password
files. If you use NATS for authentication with mod_auth_mysql or a
similar system that checks logins using the NATS members database table,
then you can turn password management off.

Instead of letting CCBill write to the NATS database, have CCBill add
and remove members in your own members database.  Manage the database
with scripts called from NATS [[ct#Postback|postbacks]].

If you have old sites that used flat password files and now use
NATS, then you must keep the password management on and add the
following line to your ''.htaccess'' file:

<pre>
AuthMySQLAuthoritative Off
</pre>

== Notes ==
Three settings in the CCBill Administration Interface affect cascading billing.

If a check signup form exists, denied transactions are sent there. To
cascade, modify the traffic flow here in the CCBill Admin. Go to Tools,
Account Maintenance, Account Admin, Form Admin, Choose Form, Traffic,
and set the Traffic Flow to None. Now CCBill sends denied transactions
to the denial URL immediately.

CCBill automatically redirects denied CC transactions. By default,
the redirect takes five seconds, but you can changed this to three seconds.
Go to Tools, Account Maintenance, Account Admin, Basic, Denial
Redirect Time. Note: activating the None option disables the automatic
redirect.

By default, on a soft decline, CCBill lets the customer submit their
purchase three times before sending them to the denial URL. CCBill can be
send customers to the denial URL after the first decline; ask them to
disable the soft decline retries on your account.

== Common Datalink Errors ==
Note: these failure codes may change:

* Error: Authentication Failed 693 Cause: Three or more failed logins within the last hour.

* Error: Authentication failed. 708 Cause: Invalid user name, incorrect user name, no user name provided, invalid password, incorrect password, no password provided, incorrect clientAccnum/clientSubacc, or user is setup for a different clientAccnum/clientSubacc than provided

* Error: Authentication failed. 722/723 Cause: Incorrect IP address.

== CCBill Adding Users Error E-Mail ==
If you use NATS to handle your password management ([[MySQL Auth]] using
the NATS members table) then you can safely disregard this mail.

If you use standard flat password files, then you should talk to your
host and CCBill to resolve this issue with them. NATS does not
handle flat password files and we can not fix the problem.

If you use both NATS and flat password files, then you should still talk
to your host and CCBill to fix the password file issue -- even
if members get access through NATS.
