Billers are third-party payment processors that handle all membership and merchandise purchases. Most program owners find it advantageous to outsource the transaction handling liability to a third-party rather than bearing that liability directly. NATS can easily use the industry's top payment processors through a single interface, giving you a greater chance of successfully converting your traffic into income.
Billers in NATS
You must add a record to the Billers Admin for each of your biller accounts.
Basic Biller Attributes
Most billers in NATS have similar attributes. For example, most billers have account numbers or usernames. To get a list of the biller attributes for the billers you want to use, please see the specific Biller Instructions in the right-side menu.
Billers deduct fees from each of your transactions. You can set those fees in the Billers Admin and NATS will automatically mark those fees as a loss for your Profit and Loss report.
Biller Processing Types
Certain billers offer different payment processing types, which allows greater flexibility in accepting member payments/subscriptions. The most common payment methods offered are:
- cc- pay with credit card. This is the most widely accepted payment method for billers.
- check- pay with electronic check. This method is sometimes limited to certain countries by some billers-- these countries will be in parentheses next to the processing type.
- elv- pay by ELV. This payment method is one of the most common types in Germany, and works similarly to direct debit.
- 900- pay by Web900. This payment method allows the member to pay through a 900 number. The member calls the number, gets a code to put in the merchant/join form, and is billed for the transaction through their phone bill.
- dp- pay by direct debit. This method allows members to transfer payments directly from their bank account.
- sms- pay by text message. This method sends members short term membership passwords through text messages for a small fee.
- gphone- pay by direct dialer. This payment method allows customers to charge their transaction to their phone bill. Unlike Web900 this method does not require a password, only that the member stays on the phone for a minute or two.
