Site Tours
Most site configuration occurs on its tour. Use the Edit Site Tour drop-down to select a tour and click Edit.
Each tour uses the Default Tour's configuration until you modify that specific tour's settings. Most of the settings are self-explanatory or have useful explanations next to them, but for more information, see the Site Setup article.
Biller Details
Activate the billers for this tour by entering their tour-specific settings in the Biller Details section.
Join Options
You add join options by clicking Setup Additional Options for this Site. There are three check boxes:
- The Free Pre checkbox lets you add a join option that starts with a free trial
- The No Old Members checkbox lets you forbid previous members from using the free trial again
- The All Tours puts this option on all of this site's tours
Warning: You must setup a free trial period on your site before enabling the Free Pre checkbox.
Excluding Billers from Join Options
In the Sites Admin, edit a tour, edit a Join Option, and remove information for billers you don't want to use. Billers without information won't be used.
Join Options Order
Cascades are listed in alphabetical order on the join form. To re-order the options, rename the cascades.
Hiding Join Options from Old Members
On the Sites Admin, edit the tour with the join options you want to hide. When adding a new join option (or editing an old one), check the No Old Members checkbox to hide this join option from old members
Removing Join Options

Adding Extra Site Tours
You can promote multiple tour URLs for you site

Affiliates can now get linkcodes for this from the affiliate linkcodes page.

NATS can send members email when they join, cancel, credit, chargeback, rebill, and on other criteria.
Note: NATS will not send email unless you set the EMAIL_TO_OWNER setting on the Emails page of the Configuration Admin

Tour Setup
NATS works with any tour: just at the following PHP code to the end of every hyperlink URL on the tour:
?<?=$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']?>
This code sends the affiliate's linkcode from the tour page to the join page. You also need to ensure that the your tour ends with the NATS pre-join page.
