Setting up in Nats
Billers Admin
Go to the Billers Admin, select Aconti Payment Service from the drop-down, and click
Add. Enter your Client ID and Shared secret, which were provided by Aconti. Note: Aconti will need to be added to a cascade before it can be used.
Note: If you don't see Aconti, put in a support ticket, as you may need an updated version of NATS.
When setting up Aconti in your cascades, you can choose the processing type to be used in the cascade step by selecting it from the drop-down menu. Aconti currently supports the following processing types:
Sites Admin
Go to the Sites Admin and click the "Edit" button next to the default tour of the site you would like to configure. In the "Billers Details" section, you will find the following fields for Aconti:
Next, Edit (or create) the option(s) you want to use with Aconti. You will see the following list of available option fields (all preceded by Aconti id:#):
- Payment - The support payment type to identify this option (all, credit card or debit).
- Currency (optional) - the currency that this join option should be billed in.
This option setup may also require rules to be set up. You can do so with the purple arrows next to the option row.
Editing Site Templates
Before you can begin processing NATS transactions for Aconti, you must also get their country information. Without retrieving the country that the surfer is located in, this biller transaction will fail for surfers.
To avoid facing this issue, you can insert code on your join page template in order to retrieve this information. This can be done through the Sites Admin. Simply edit the site templates for the join page you wish to change, and edit the subsequent join template.
You can use the following code to retrieve country information from your surfers:
{if $vars.country}{assign var=country value=$vars.country}{else}{assign var=country value=$countrycode|default:'US'}{/if}
<TR><TD class="join_name">Country:</TD><TD class="join_value">
<select class="join_select" name="signup[country]">{html_options options=$countries selected=$country}</select>
</TD></TR>
