Please don't test your biller setup with NATS4 LocalBilling's test account—it won't work correctly.
Set up on Local Billing's Website
Before you can begin configuring Local Billing as a biller in NATS4, you must first register a merchant account with them. This can be done through their website at http://www.localbilling.com.
When registering with Local Billing, please let them know that you're working with NATS, so that they can better help you.
After Local Billing sets up your sites, they give you a document containing all the information you need to set up Local Billing in NATS. It should contain your E-Mail, Merchant I.D., and Shared Secret. This information is currently in part A of your Local Billing setup document. They should also give you a Site I.D. code for each of your sites, and an identifier, upgrade identifier, and package for each of your join options in Part E of your Local Billing set up document.
Set up Local Billing in NATS
Billers Admin
To begin setting up Local Billing as a biller in NATS, go to the Billers Admin. Scroll down to the "Biller" drop-down menu, select Local Billing, and click "Add."
Note: If you don't see Local Billing as a biller in NATS4, put in a support ticket, as you may need an updated version of NATS.
Note: Localbilling will be listed as "Vendo" on NATS version 4.1.3 or later. If you cannot locate Localbilling in the biller drop-down, try looking for Vendo.
When prompted, fill in the E-Mail, Merchant ID, and Shared Secret that were provided to you by Local Billing under the "Account Info" section. If you were not provided with this information, please contact your biller to receive it.
Sites Admin
Next, go to the Sites Admin, create or edit a tour, and scroll down to the "Biller Details" section. Enter your Local Billing Site ID in the "LOCALB Site Id" field, choose whether you wish to enable any of the optional Local Billing features, and click Save.
Note: All of the LOCALB settings described here will be listed as VENDO on NATS version 4.1.3 or later. If you cannot locate the LOCALB settings here, try looking for the VENDO settings.
Once you have done this, scroll down to the section labeled "Join Options for this Tour" and click the "Edit Option Details for this tour" icon that corresponds to the join option you wish to use. In the "Biller Codes" section on the next page, locate the "LOCALB" settings. Enter your Local Billing Identifier, Upgrade Identifier, and Package. If you did not receive this information, please contact Local Billing.
Once you have configured these steps, save your join option details. Local Billing will now be configured for basic use as a biller in NATS.
Notes
Targeting Billing Outside the U.S. and Canada
Go to Billers Admin, click the Add a Cascade tab, and enter a shortname. In the description field, enter the text your surfers will see on the pre-join form; for example: "Foreign Billing provided by Local Billing." Set the Weight field to 256. In the Excluded list, select United States and Canada. Click Save Changes.
Find the cascade you just created and click the Expand Cascade icon. Click the Biller drop-down, select Localbilling, and click Add. Make sure Localbilling is the first biller in the cascade.
UpgradePlus
LocalBilling UpgradePlus lets you shorten a Member's trial by offering them incentives to upgrade in your Member's Area.
When processing UpgradePlus transactions through LocalBilling, you must use the following URL for your member transactions.
Version 4.1.2 or earlier:
https://payment.localbilling.com/payment/upgrade.php
Version 4.1.3 or later:
https://secure3.vend-o.com/upgrade.php
For more information on configuring UpgradePlus in NATS, please see our NATS4 Upgrade Plus wiki article.
