''Applies to NATS v3.0.17 and greater''

To force [[ct#Affiliate|affiliates]] to send you W-9 forms before they get
paid, go to the [[Configuration Admin]], click the Reseller Tab, and
turn on the RESELLER_US_W9 option. Once set, you must make 
[[ct#Template|template]] changes to tell affiliates what they must do
before getting paid.

We suggest you make the following changes.

Edit the ''signup_done'' template. Tell U.S. affiliates they must download
and send you the W-9 Form. For example:

<pre>
{if $reseller.country == 'US'}
Please download a <a href="w9form.pdf">W-9 Form</a> and send it to us.
{/if}
</pre>

Edit the the ''member'' template. Bug affiliates who haven't sent in
their form. For example:

<pre>
{if !$usr_us_w9}
We haven't received your <a href="w9form.pdf">W-9 Form</a>; 
make sure you send it to us.
{/if}
</pre>

When you receive a W-9 Form, look up the affiliate and click the edit
icon. Near the bottom, check the W-9 Received checkbox.  The affiliate
can now be paid.
