The NATS4 Cascade settings include a checkbox labeled "hide cascade". This setting creates a cascade that is completely functional but not automatically used on any site's join forms. You can place a hidden cascade on your join form template by hard-coding the cascade option into a radio button or a join form submit button.

Manually Adding a Cascade to a Join Form
After a cascade is hidden, it will no longer appear on any join forms. If you would like to include your hidden cascade on a join form, you can do so by using one of the following options:
Figure 1 
Figure 2
Figure 1 illustrates sample HTML code that puts the cascade's short name in a HTML option. This contrasts with the standard template content found in Figure 2 -- normally, NATS dynamically loops through each cascade that is available for the given site and creates an HTML radio button control for each one.
If you have hidden a cascade, it will never be displayed on a join form in this manner. The only way to display a hidden cascade as a join form option is by hard-coding it, which can be seen in Figure 1 above. You may also place the cascade value into a hidden form field, so that the surfer is not required to select a payment method.
