== Setting Up on Vendo's Website ==

Before you can begin configuring Vendo as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS3]], you must first register a merchant account with them. This can be done through their website at http://www.vendoservices.com/.

While registering with Vendo, make sure to tell them that you're working with [[NATS]], so that they can better help you.

Once you set up all of your [[Ct#Site|sites]] with Vendo, they will provide you with a document containing all of the information you need to set up Vendo with [[NATS]]. Please contact your [[Ct#Biller|biller]] if this information is not provided to you. This information will be necessary for setting up Vendo in [[NATS3]].

== Setting Up Vendo in NATS ==
=== Billers Admin ===

To begin setting up Vendo as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS]], go to the [[NATS3 Billers|Billers Admin]]. Scroll down to the "Biller" drop-down menu, select Vendo, and click "Add."

'''Note:''' If you don't see Vendo as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]], [https://clients.toomuchmedia.com put in a support ticket], as you may need an updated version of [[NATS]].

When prompted, fill in your E-Mail address, Merchant ID, and Shared Secret Key (SOAP Key). The required e-mail address here is the same as the e-mail you use to access your Vendo account. You will find all of these values in part A of your Vendo set up document -- contact Vendo if you do not have any of these values.

=== Sites Admin ===

Next, go to the [[NATS3 Sites|Sites Admin]], create or edit a [[Ct#Site|site]], and scroll down to the "Biller Details" section. Find the "Vendo" settings, and enter the Site ID for every [[Ct#Site|site]] you have set up with Vendo. Your Site ID (DID) is Vendo's unique identifier for the site. A table containing the DID for each site should be provided in part D of your Vendo set up document.

Once you have done that, scroll down to the "Join Options this Site Offers" section and create or edit a [[Ct#Join Option|join option]] to add Vendo compatibility. Under "Biller Codes for this Join Option," enter your Vendo Identifier, which identifies your pricing option offer. Enter your Vendo Upgrade Identifier to identify the membership upgrade pricing option. Finally, enter your Vendo Package. This identifies the membership package option.

A table containing the both ID's for each site will be provided in Part E of your Vendo set up document. Click Save once you have finished filling out the available fields on this page. Vendo should now be configured and ready to process transactions through [[NATS]].

=== Cross Sells ===

Vendo also supports [[Ct#Cross Sell|Cross Sell]] transactions through [[NATS]]. In order to process cross sale transactions, however, you will first have to set them up with Vendo. Please contact your [[Ct#Biller|biller]] for assistance with this.

To set up cross sells in [[NATS]], go to the [[Cross Sells Admin]] and click "Incoming" or "Outgoing" from the navigation tabs (depending on whether you are receiving or sending the cross sale).

If you are sending a [[Ct#Cross Sell|cross sell]] to another [[Ct#Site|site]], go to the "Outgoing" section. Choose Vendo from the "Biller" drop-down menu and click Add. On the next page, you will be prompted to fill in the Title, Description, and Disclaimer for your cross sell option.

You will then need to fill out the [[Ct#Biller|Biller]] Info for your [[Ct#Cross Sell|cross sell]], which should be provided to you by Vendo. Fill in your Site ID, Option Identifier, and Ref Code here, and click "Edit."

If you are receiving the [[Ct#Cross Sell|cross sell]], go to the "Incoming" section. Choose Vendo from the [[Ct#Biller|Biller]] drop-down menu, and click Add. When prompted, choose the [[Ct#Site|site]] and [[Ct#Program|program]] you want to associate with the cross sale, and fill in the "Comment" field.

Under "Data," fill in the Site ID, Option Identifier, and Upgrade Identifier that you received when registering with Vendo. Finally, fill in your desired [[Ct#Initial Bill|Initial]] Days (length of initial membership), [[Ct#Initial Bill|Initial]] Dollar (cost of initial membership), Recurring Days (length of recurring membership), and Recurring Dollar (cost of recurring membership). You can also choose if you want this [[Ct#Cross Sell|cross sell]] to be a [[Ct#Trial Sign-up|trial membership]].
