Adding a cascade
A cascade sends customers through multiple billers in order to encourage more customers to sign-up.
- Two cascades are created if you select a biller that has both credit card and check processing. You may use or ignore these default cascades.
- Click on the Add a Cascade tab at the top.
- On the next page, enter a short name for the cascade, a description, the weight, and the first biller. The short name must not contain spaces.
- Click Save
- When all cascade options have been tried, NATS sends the customer to the Denial URL.
Editing the Steps in a Cascade
- Click on the View icon (magnifying glass) on the cascade to view the biller order already set up in this cascade.
- Other billers can be selected from the drop-down box below the cascade. After clicking Add, the biller will appear in Edit mode.
- The billing type is selected with the first drop down.
- By selecting a country in Target (or Exclude), the cascade only performs (or does not) that step for people of that country. Multiple countries can be selected by holding down the CTRL key while selecting. Selecting no billers selects all billers. CTRL and re-clicking will unselect an item.
- After saving, four options appear in the biller option line: arrows that will move the option up or down in the list, edit, and delete.
- There are 4 other options in the Biller drop-down box that can be used to set up a cascade:
- Stop Cascade -- stop executing the cascade
- Switch Cascade -- switches between one cascade and another
- Show Template -- shows a template on the site
- Redirect -- sends them to a designated web page
Editing the Cascade's Details
- Edit changes the cascades details
- Two features use the Weight setting
- NATS switches between two cascades with the same description, using the weight to decide which to display. The higher weight will appear more.
- Autocascade skips the join form cascade selection and sends the surfer directly to the first biller in the cascade. Usually used with geo-targeting.
- Hide cascade lets you associate the cascade with a site but not have it appear on the join form. You can use this to offer the cascade later, like on the Denial template.
- Target/Exclude can be used on the entire cascade. This will actually add or remove it from the join form for those countries
Extra Cascade Rules
You can add extra cascade rules by clicking the Edit Cascade Rules icon. The extra rules let you only only display this cascade on a specific tour or program or for a specific affiliate or during a specific time.
