Adding AdultFriendFinder to NATS is a 4 step process:
- Log in to your NATS admin and go to the Third Party Admin
- Select AdultFriendFinder from the drop-down list of third party companies and click the Add button on the right-hand side of the page.
- Provide any of the fees (by percentage or dollar amount) and when you want those fees deducted from the income (either before affiliate payout, which will affect the amount they receive, or after affiliate payout).
- Enter your AdultFriendFinder Affiliate ID and Password and click the Save button on the right side of the page.
- Optional check the Import Free Initial checkbox. If you do, nats will retrieve free initial transactions from AdultFriedFinder. If you do not, nats will only retrieve paid transactions from AdultFriendFinder. Please note that the first transaction nats retrieves (paid or not) will be counted as initial. Each subsequent transactions will be counted as rebill.
- Go to Sites Admin
- Click the Add a Site link at the top of the Sites Admin
- Set the type to Third Party and give it a site name and short name
- Select AdultFriendFinder from the Third Party drop-down list
- Enter the link domain for your new site
- Enter the AdultFriendFinder URL in the Third Party Details section of the page.
- Complete the rest of the sites admin configuration for a new site, including any additional email event, post back, site partners, tours, etc.
- Create a new program for your third party sites (Optional)
- Go to the Programs Admin page and either create a new disabled program or create a new enabled program. We recommend you create a new disabled program because new affiliates will NOT be automatically enrolled in this program. When you're ready to allow everyone to send you traffic through this program, you can enable the program to automatically enable the program for all affiliates.
- Select Standard Program for its type, give it a program name, short name, select whichever options you wish to employ for this program, and then click Add Program.
- Select your AdultFriendFinder site from the drop-down list of sites and click Add.
- Click the pencil icon on the far right in the bottom section on the page to edit your payout options for this program. Once you enter the payout amounts or percentages, click the Save button.
- (If you do not wish to create a new program, you may use an existing program instead.)
- After you configure a site and program, you can get an affiliate link code for your typein or in-house account. Once you have the nats code from that link code, go back to the Third Party Admin, edit AdultFriendFinder, and paste in an affiliate's NATS code into the default NATS code field. Note: that affiliate will receive credit for all type-in traffic you send to AdultFriendFinder. Please see the Getting The NATSCode article for help getting a NATSCode.
- If you don't do this, NATS can't track AdultFriendFinder type-in traffic
- Provide all of the IPs on your NATS server to the third party service provider so that all polling and transactions posting events do not get blocked.
Note: Third-parties do not notify NATS about new sales and sign-ups immediately -- there may be up to a 24-hour delay before NATS records third-party transactions.
