Biller Charges
NATS keeps track of biller fees for affiliate payouts and Profit and Loss report. Click the Edit Biller Charges icon, select a transaction type, and enter the charges. Click the Deduct drop-down and select when to deduct the charge:
- Never deduct the charge from the affiliate or profit and loss report. This prevents your profit and loss report from reporting accurate losses
- After Affiliate Payout pays affiliates in revenue share programs their share of the gross profit. The whole deduction comes out of your profits
- From Affiliate Payout pays affiliates in revenue share programs their share of the gross profit minus this deduction. The whole deduction domes out of their profits
- Before Affiliate Payout pays affiliates in revenue share programs their share of the net profit. The deduction is split between you and the affiliate fairly
Polls
NATS gets periodic updates about your customers from each biller that tell it about rebills, credits, and chargebacks. NATS calls this periodic update a poll, and it can't keep your program information accurate unless it makes regular polls. Click the View Poll Status icon to see when a poll last ran and to see if there were any problems. If a poll hasn't finished successfully in the last 48 hours, please submit a ticket so we can check your program.
Biller Cancel Promotions
Some billers let you offer discounted prices when a surfer wants to cancel their membership. NATS requires no extra setup to enable these price changes. All of the setup is done on the biller's website.
Multiple Biller Accounts
You can add multiple accounts from the same biller to NATS. Go to Billers Admin, select a biller, click Add, fill in your details, and click save. Repeat for each biller account. Add each biller account one or more cascades and use the cascades on your sites.
